The Pittsburgh Penguins have hired former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas as president of hockey operations, the team announced Thursday.
Burke was the first person to ever serve as president of hockey operations for the Penguins.
Dubas said he spoke with Crosby and Penguins coach Mike Sullivan before taking the job, to get a sense of their expectations for the franchise's future. Sullivan is signed through the 2026-27 season and had input on the search for the team's new executives. Crosby has two more years on his contract. "The work will also begin at delivering a long-term hockey organization that can be the class of the NHL and to reduce any gap in time from the end of those great players' careers to the next era of great hockey for the Pittsburgh Penguins," Dubas said.
At his final media availability of the season, Dubas said the season was hard on his family and that his next steps would require"a full family discussion.""I definitely don't have it in me to go anywhere else," Dubas said then."It'll either be here or it'll be taking time to recalibrate, reflect on the seasons here. You won't see me next week pop up elsewhere. I can't put [my family] through that after this year.
