The Toronto Maple Leafs have recently undergone significant changes in their management, including the departures of Kyle Dubas and Jason Spezza.
Spezza Remains Loyal To Dubas
Dubas has taken on a new role as the President of Hockey Operations for the Pittsburgh Penguins. Meanwhile, speculation about Jason Spezza's future continues.
Spezza The Penguins Next GM?
While in Toronto, Spezza worked closely with Dubas, leading to rumors that he might join the Dallas Stars as a potential replacement for Jim Nill as General Manager. However, according to Sportsnet's Hockey Insider Elliotte Friedman, on his 32 Thoughts podcast, it appears more likely that Spezza will be heading to Pittsburgh with Dubas.
"I do think he's going to be part of the Pittsburgh Penguins organization,"
Friedman stated.
Given the current situation, it seems highly probable that Spezza will take over as the Penguins' new General Manager, succeeding Ron Hextall, who was let go along with Penguins President Brian Burke following the team's failure to secure a playoff spot.
