Quoting: Grusofsky96
It was Dubas. Dude is a genius. Had a **** hole in Toronto to work with.
LOL... Genius, no.
He got lucky in Toronto, who already had Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Kadri, C. Brown, Reilly, Liljegren, Freddie and Woll before he took over as GM.
A little less lucky in Pittsburgh; same good core depth (Crosby, Malkin, Guentzel, Rust, Rakell, Letang, Petterson and Jarry except they are all senior aged compared to the junior age players he started with in Toronto).
Same mistake made in both 1st days on the job; in Toronto adding J.T.'s big contract which ruined any chance at roster depth. Now for the Pens he adds EK65, IF the previous management didn't do so well on signing the core to team friendly deals, that EK65 contract would be an anchor added by Dubas.
