The Pittsburgh Penguins have already made a monumental change in their front office for this season with the brooming out of Ron Hextall and Brian Burke and the hiring of Kyle Dubas and Jason Spezza.
And now, the Penguins have announced another major figure ahead of the quickly approaching season. Former San Jose Sharks general manager has been hired, and he will be providing "counsel, opinions, and expertise to hockey operations leadership on all matters including personnel decisions." Additionally, he will "join the team at home and on the road at various points during the season and offseason, and will provide guidance and mentorship to all levels of hockey operations."
Dubas released the following statement:
“Doug brings over 40 years of NHL experience to our program. Over 16 years from his Hall-of-Fame playing career and over 25 seasons building consistent contending teams as the leader of the San Jose Sharks hockey operations department,” said Dubas. “Doug will serve as a source of both experience and wisdom to our entire hockey operations department. His ability to maintain high standards of performance and professionalism over two decades with Sharks is the type of consistency we all aspire to these positions. Doug will provide me and our entire program with a great resource and tremendous benefit as we get rolling. I am excited to add Doug to our management team today.”
