Wooo that’s awesome. Great hire I think.

Also kudos to FSG. It wasn’t as quick as everyone wanted but it seemed like a really solid search with not many leaks. All the “insiders” really had no clue what was going on.

 

[Gurglesons]

Penguins finally got a big fish.

Only took until Sid and Geno were 36

 

[Andy99]

So does this mean a GM is going to be hired to work under him or is he doing it all?…

thank god this is done

 

[TKalltheTime]

Cooooo now start cleaning up the 50 tons of shit on this roster.

 

[Lust for Life]

Treliving is being announced as Leafs GM in 30 mins. Stealing the Toronto thunder, lol

 

[IcedCapp]

Kyle Dubas PoHO

Mike Sullivan HC GM

 

[Turin]

Damn! He bringing in a Darche or Greeley or is he stealing Pridham from TO?

 

[Jacob]

Rossi: "honk shoo mimimimimimi"

 

[cookthebooks]

someone wake up rossi

 

[Allie Kitsune]

President of Hockey Ops?

Not Proobler of Hoobler Oobler?

 

[Turin]

I want everybody to know that Rob Rossi got 2 hours of sleep a night for weeks to get zero info here

 

[Andy99]

Kyle Dubas PoHO

Mike Sullivan HC GM

He already is de facto GM…he and Sid lol

Very rarely do the GOOBERS on this board make me laugh, but you just got a hearty belly laugh out of me

He already is de facto GM…he and Sid lol

But at this point, we have to accept that almost everyone with any say in the matter wants sully around. The only place he’s on the hot seat is erotic fan fiction

 

[Ragamuffin Gunner]

Ok, who's GM?

 

[SomeDude]

Preview of the first question he takes from Rossi.

 

[Peat]

Interested to see how the rest of it plays out.

It’s amazing how much more insightful the fans are about the issues of the team and what will solve them than the hockey people lol…hockey people are too tied to their relationships and value those over actually winning a Cup

I’m told that the turning point in negotiations was when Sid and Kyle were sitting down to lunch in a primanti bros. Sid took Kyle’s hand and said,

“I heard what they did to you in Toronto. That’s not how we do it in Pittsburgh, my sweet.”

Kyle reportedly fell to his knees and wept, screaming, “I’m home. I’m finally home.”

And then proceeded to play hardball for the next week

I feel better about this hire than I did Hextall, so that's good.

Results are all that matter though. Now fire Sullivan.

 

[Lara Emily]

I absolutely love that they managed to both land Dubas and simultaneously drag out the GM search. That's the Pittsburgh way

 

[SomeDude]

Dubas picks Craig Janney as GM as a salute to Shanahan.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Rossi cant finally rest!

Successfully incompetent

Seems more likely than anything the Pittsburgh beat writers reported.
