Former Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager Kyle Dubas Lands a New Job
Former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas is currently with the Pittsburgh Penguins organization and now, he has yet another job.
Kyle Dubas is a controversial figure when it comes to the Toronto Maple Leafs as he left the team without any playoff success and a deficit in terms of draft capital.
However, he did put together the core four that we see today, so you can't be too mad at him. Things could have been a lot worse.
Now, he is the GM of the Pittsburgh Penguins and his tenure with that team has been much less fruitful. He has made some big mistakes and the fans do not love him.
Kyle Dubas to work for Team Canada
Despite these mistakes, Dubas continues to get work in the hockey world beyond just the NHL realm.
Today, it was revealed that Kyle Dubas was selected to be the general manager of Team Canada at the IIHF World Championship.
«Kyle is an excellent general manager, and his recent experience at the 4 Nations Face-Off and last year's Men's Worlds will be beneficial in building and leading Canada's National Men's Team as it looks to reclaim gold at the IIHF World Championship,» Doug Armstrong said. «Kyle has great relationships with players and staff throughout the NHL, and as a member of management group for the 2026 Olympics, we are confident he is the best person to lead Team Canada in Stockholm and Herning this May while leaning on the expertise of Dennis, Gregory, Andrew and Jason.»
Constructing these teams is always difficult because by the time the tournament starts, the best players are either still in the playoffs or too tired to play.
This is not a best-on-best tournament and it hasn't been for decades at this point. It is sad but true.
Regardless, Dubas has to do his best here and he will have quite the staff to help him construct the best possible roster for the tournament.
We wish him the best of luck in this new endeavor and we hope that Team Canada wins the tournament despite the players that will be missing.
