Dubas officially names himself GM of Penguins

This just in, the Pittsburgh Penguins have officially named team President Kyle Dubas as the team's new general manager, replacing the recently fired Ron Hextall.

Now... if you're sitting there wondering 'didn't this already happen?' Well... kinda.

Dubas was officially hired as the team's President and was tasked with hiring a new GM to work under alongside himself. Evidently though, Dubas found that he himself was the best man for the job, essentially hiring himself as the team's GM.

"At this time, I feel it is best for continuity that I formally continue in both roles as President and General Manager in the hockey operations department," said Dubas in a statement on the Penguins' website. "We will continue to reevaluate the GM position alongside all others in future off-seasons, to ensure that we are optimizing all facets of the department. We have a small but extremely dedicated management team here, and I have come to know each of them quite well over the last couple of months. We have also added both Jason Spezza and Vukie Mpofu to provide us with a nice mixture of playing experience, front office acumen, and growth potential."
