When Kyle Dubas left the Toronto Maple Leafs he was made out to have been done wrong by Brendan Shanahan. Upon Dubas' departure a picture was painted of a man who was never allowed to make his own decisions. Reports claimed that Dubas was forced to run every single decision through Shanny, and instead of having the autonomy he desired.
Since becoming the President of Hockey Operations and General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins, Dubas has done nothing but repeat exactly what he did in Toronto. With multiple reports circulating about Dubas being a bit of a control freak, the latest reports definitely confirm that.
