People who hate Dubas are morons who think this team should never rebuild. We are already out of our window, and the future is so much more important. Keep stocking draft picks Kyle
I think management is finally starting to get it. A first round exit is not much better than missing the playoffs entirely, especially if the object is to remain competitive/contend. Washington truly is the blueprint for success for how to navigate this transition - Pointlessly squeaked into the playoffs last year, made zero noise against the rangers, essentially blew the whole thing up during the off season and now they're top of the league and a legitimate threat.
Keep going, Kyle. Make trades until you have space for Koivunen, Bemstrom, Broz, Ponomarev, and McGroarty in the 'Burgh. Use the end of the season to see what the young D prospects can do, as well as Murashov.
Only delusional pens fans hoping for a playoff run and miserable least fans under the Dubas haters here😂 he is doing insane moves that undoubtly will help the pens longterm. The harsh upcoming years will blow the delusional definitely not diehardpensfans away and keep the outsiders underrestimate the and the organization until we strike back stronger💪
1st rounder. Basically the Rangers 1st round pick for Marcus Pettersson. The salaries are a wash. MP is $4.025,175AAV. Desharnais is $2AAV and Heinen is $2.25AAV. Both have 1 year deals and Desharnais can be traded next deadline as he is a big right shot defense man. No Nils Hoglander, Keifer Sherwood, Aatu Raty, Dakota Joshua, Elias Pettersson dman, or any other top prospect. No talk on Hoglander by anyone is odd.
I may be wrong ,but when Letang is on ice we have one defenseman and three wingers,why not just move Letang out of defense until we have big leads? Otherwise trade him?
Kyle is a terrible manager, talent evaluator, and team builder. His track record and current work speaks for itself. Tying my comments more into The Leafs- the fact that Shanny actually tried to retain Kyle only to be overwhelmed by his demands, also says a lot about their franchise and is a great symptom of the team's ongoing futility.
What is Dubas fault that the leafs made the playoffs 7 years in a row is it Dubas fault that the leafs keep choking in the first round because last time I checked Dubas is a GM not a hockey player must’ve been his fault also that he signed John tavares and seeing leafs fans cream there pants when they got him only for leafs fans to shit all over him when he’s gone the same leafs fans that where crying when they hired Brad trileving and are now praising him for extending Austin Matthews’s and nylander when Dubas did it first
I don't trust dubas and don't feel he has a plan going forward ! this season is beyond lost and the pens would be wise to bring up some minor leaguers to give them some NHL experience and to see if they are options going forward ! heinen will clog up a spot for minor league players with really not much production in return ! trade Hayes and others for draft picks ! malkin is a shell of his former self , maybe some team will look at his past and bring some young prospects and or draft picks in a trade ! give st. ineny another chance and show him video of him passing up hits that led to goals against hopefully he will get the message !
Dubas has limited PR skills and does seem to be way in over his head. Having said that it is very refreshing not to hear the typical gm b.s. every single interview.
@ You’re a causal! The pens are last in the division! Lou laimerallo built the leafs, Dubas took over an already playoff team and won 1 round in 5 years ! lol he ruined the leafs
@@pahul79 when you guys go out 1st round again this year, will he still get the blame ? That good of a core group and you guys only sniffed a 2nd round once ?
@@pahul79Those players are at the tail end of their careers and have already won 3 times together. Is it possible that the highest paid players drafted by Lou just don't have what it takes to win on the big stage?
as a Toronto fan this dude is clueless n one of the worst gms. doesn't know how to scout Defenders or goalies oh n he likes his guys tiny oh n will over pay for player along with giving them no move clauses
I struggle to see this as anything but total garbage. Our biggest weakness is goal tending and defense. Trade our most solid D man for 2 30 year olds and a late 1st rounder???? Addresses absolutely nothing he's said he'd do. We're not younger, we didn't get an NHL ready prospect, we now have more money tied up in old/low talent players, and another locker room personality is gone.
You did see the 1st rounder? The 2024 third-rounder. Acquired for a pair of players they wouldn't re-sign. The players acquired are depth transition players with minimal costs.
We potentially have two first round picks this year, or 9 1st and 2nd round picks next year. If you don’t see that alone as an absolute win, I don’t know what to tell you. We have 10 1st and 2nd round picks over the next two drafts, that Dubas says will be used to draft or acquire players. We’re in a good spot. There’s less than 30 games left, we have a 1.5% chance of making the playoffs. Enjoy the tank as we try to get as high of a 1st round pick this year as we possibly can. We’re currently up to a 7% chance of picking 1st overall
Keyword Retool on the fly. This team isn’t a cup contender so why would we buy and try fill holes in this lineup this season ? If we get into the playoffs we aren’t gonna go far. We have so much draft picks in the next 3 years so that’s a good sign Getting a 1st for Petterson and DOC with the seasons they are both having is good. Our goaltending if you have been paying attention is bright for the future and maybe sooner.
He did completely turn around the WKS penguins in one year, they are a Calder cup contender with a lot of young players, a couple years ago it was one of the worst in the ahl. Our prospect pool moved up almost 10 spots in the rankings in just one year. He’s greatly improved our number of picks, and will bring in even more. He has a couple impressive accomplishments early on, so far for me the plan makes sense, we’ll have to wait and see how it progresses each season
Love how Dubas explains things. Great detail. Even if his hockey philosophy isn't great sometimes, you have to appreciate his openness with the media
Glad to see Dubas in Pittsburgh!!!
Its fantastic - the longer he is there the better
Yes i agree should trade crosby
You and 29 other fanbases! 😂
Rule of life, never take advice from dumb Leafs fans who think they know something about winning. Have you ever seen the Leafs win the cup?
People who hate Dubas are morons who think this team should never rebuild. We are already out of our window, and the future is so much more important. Keep stocking draft picks Kyle

Penguins will continue to miss the playoffs and do nothing. Enjoy.
Wash didn't blow it up at all. they have been bringing young players along.

a bit mixed up ,if you ask me!

The level of incompetence is astonishing

His first Robbery in the Pens era.
Best day of my life, when he left the leafs
Ladies and Gentlemen, I regret to inform you that the least self-aware fanbase in pro sports is at it again

@ dubas is a big part to blame, for us losing in 1st round every year. Pittsburgh has malkin Crosby letang karlsson and last in the division
@@pahul79Those players are at the tail end of their careers and have already won 3 times together. Is it possible that the highest paid players drafted by Lou just don't have what it takes to win on the big stage?
Your leafs are still unable to win a cup
Didn't realise the circus was in town today 🤡
BTW this guy doesn't have a plan, he's just a smooth talking con man 😂
I'd like to get Zucker back. Jarry for Zucker straight up. That would be cool.
More like jarry +1st for zucker. No one is touching that contract with a 10ft pole
Zucker spends way too much time out of the lineup due to injuries
Dubas should never have been the Leafs gm and I don't get why pittsburg wanted him so badly. Good lucky Pitty.
His voice to me lacks confidence. Almost as if he try’s to justify the moves to the local media
So many haters and uneducated hockey fans in the comments
It's mainly the crazy fans from Toronto. No wonder no one wants to play in Canada

The biggest mistake the Penguins made was hiring Dubas! He is out of his depth!
@@Pmach29 😂😂😂😂
In his 5 year tenure, he made the leafs significantly worse and destroyed all the teams depth and assets
@@davidknight1973 👈 Hockey Illiterate!
He did completely turn around the WKS penguins in one year, they are a Calder cup contender with a lot of young players, a couple years ago it was one of the worst in the ahl.

@ impressive accomplishments like going from 1 point out of the playoffs to last in the division. Hey as long as the ahl team is good tho right ? lol
Canucks what a steal , robbed us pens
We got a 1st round pick for a UFA we weren't going to keep. How did we get robbed?
@craigmacdonald3711 draft class is shit this year. Soon Crosby will Go, pens high flying days are done for the next 10 years atleast
