Post-Gazette Penguins beat writer Matt Vensel joins digital sports producer Adam Bittner to analyze the Penguins’ hiring of Kyle Dubas as president of hockey operations. Will he take a more hands-on role in the position than predecessor Brian Burke? Who are some names to look at in the search for a general manager? And is coach Mike Sullivan’s job safe? Our duo tackles those topics and ponders the personnel decisions Dubas will be facing soon as NHL free agency looms following the Stanley Cup final in a couple of weeks.

Dufas is great at the con. Just review what he tried to pull here before Shanahan gave him the Will Smith. RIP Pens fansš
Wonder if AM is gonna be a Pen in a year…
he's going to make more mess.
So I realize that hockey is not the number 1 sport in Pittsburgh. Those emotions are saved for the dynasty NFL football team that inhabits your town. So let me put this in perspective for youā¦( Iām actually typing slower than normal so you can follow along) your ownership just gave the reins to a guy who despite having premier talent only won ONE playoff round in 9 years!! And all his talk of Sault Ste Marieā¦what did he win in Jr Hockeyā¦Nothing!! So happy Dufas gets to stink up your town
Fenway gets the next Theo Epstein and Pens fans get their own Omar Khan!!! Welcome to Pittsburgh Kyle!
Dubas will hire the first female GM!
Hope Pittsburgh likes soft hockey players.
I am sorry but pittsburgh is EXTREMELY FOOLISH to be rolling out the red carpet at this guy dubas. The guy had basically unlimited resources and cash and he totally acted in a stupid manner. Anybody with a general knowledge of the nhl and its players could have done a better job then dubas. The man has a college degree and wears glasses and uses words like "recalibrate" when he could just say rest and relax because he wants to be perceived as a intelect …in reality he is not that smart he totally messed up the leafs with players tht have no grit ,completely lack character and integrity and are anything but a balanced team. Pittsburgh totally screwed this up ,i mean its so obvious they screwed up there were many red flags .What the heck were they thinking. Anybody who wears glasses ,uses choice vocabulary etc like hextall did or another moron like garth snow dubas etc can fool pittsburg into believing they are the right candidate and highly intelligent for gm or president of hockey operations etc. LOOK AT THE TRACK RECORD.
