In fact, given the speculation from last week, I expected some sort of announcement yesterday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the word was that the Penguins&#8217; ownership was attending the Monaco Grand Prix and that was taking much of their immediate consideration. Funny, I didn&#8217;t see them when I was there. [Kidding, obviously. NHL owners live a bit differently than I do. If you are reading this post, probably you, too.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/maple-leafs-sure-dubas-traded-kadri\/\">As Maple Leafs Fans, Are We Sure Dubas Traded Nazem Kadri?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Considering Dubas and the Penguins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubas&#8217; decision and the possibility of him joining another organization interest me.  I&#8217;ve been thinking quite a bit about him recently; and, to me, he is a poster child for what I think might be a radical change in the way NHL hockey clubs do business. He&#8217;s not part of the old boys club, and that (I believe) can confuse people who&#8217;ve been in the business for a long time. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Kyle-Dubas-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-392\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Kyle-Dubas-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Kyle-Dubas-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-1-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/Kyle-Dubas-Toronto-Maple-Leafs-1-768x461.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>That said, as demonstrated by his meltdowns when things don&#8217;t go his team&#8217;s way, he&#8217;s every bit as competitive. Again, confusing. The images don&#8217;t seem to fit well together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dubas Analytical Approach &amp; the Penguins&#8217; Desires<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s why I think Dubas could be an excellent fit with the Penguins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Fit One: Dubas Utilizes an Analytical Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From what I read, the Penguins have long been known for their commitment to analytics and data-driven decision-making. This aligns with Dubas&#8217; philosophy. He&#8217;s been a &#8220;money-ball&#8221; advocate who, as a matter of course, incorporates advanced analytics into player evaluation and team strategies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubas utilizes statistical analysis to identify player strengths, exploit weaknesses, and optimize team performance. That fits well within the Penguins&#8217; organization. [Going back to the Grand Prix, I heard an interview where the Penguins&#8217; owner&#8217;s car had to be lifted by a crane and they were freaking out because they didn&#8217;t want anyone to see the under-carriage of the car and steal their concept for construction.]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/index.php\/2023\/05\/29\/should-maple-leafs-let-keefe-go\/\">Should Maple Leafs Let Keefe Go? Four Key Questions<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Fit Two: Dubas Is a Cultural Fit <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Similar to any NHL team, the Penguins&#8217; organization has created a culture. It values continuous improvement and innovation, which is evident in its focus on analytics. Dubas is forward-thinking. He emphasizes incorporating cutting-edge methodologies which align well with the Penguins&#8217; culture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the same way, Formula 1 teams analyze every detail of their cars, the Penguins prioritize an analytical approach to gain a competitive edge. They&#8217;re reading (or perhaps writing) the same book. Dubas&#8217; experience in Toronto gives him a working familiarity with the Penguins&#8217; organizational culture and makes him a solid candidate for the Penguins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Fit Three: Dubas Employs Strategic Vision <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Dubas has demonstrated his engagement with a strong strategic vision throughout his career. Yes, he&#8217;s faced criticism for his Maple Leafs&#8217; team&#8217;s playoff disappointments. But, even this season, fans were hailing his ability to see a playoff need and address it at the trade deadline. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One season he worked to create a solid, shutdown third line because it was a need his head coach Sheldon Keefe had desired. He brought in David Kampf. The next offseason, he committed to building a hard-as-nails fourth line. He brought in Zach Aston-Reese.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"710\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/David.-Kampf.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-430\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/David.-Kampf.jpeg 710w, https:\/\/oldprof.nhltradetalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/David.-Kampf-213x300.jpeg 213w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 710px) 100vw, 710px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">David Kampf, Maple Leafs<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>All the while, he built a team that competed during every single season that was centred around speed, skill, and a modern playing style. His regular-season success cannot be denied. Given that the Penguins didn&#8217;t make the postseason in 2022-23, they might be plenty happy getting in season after season and (when they were in the playoffs) then letting the chips fall. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Penguins want to build and maintain a winning tradition, just like the Maple Leafs had built with Dubas in Toronto. They believe Dubas can envision and execute long-term plans that could further enhance their chances of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/thehockeywriters.com\/maple-leafs-news-rumors-woll-pittsburgh-desires-nylander\/\">Maple Leafs News &amp; Rumors: Woll, Pittsburgh Desires &amp; Nylander<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Fit Four: Dubas Has Been Solid in His Ability in the Area of Player Development<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Player development is an area of Dubas&#8217; expertise. Under his leadership, the Maple Leafs prioritized player development programs and invested in the growth of young talent. This goal aligns with the Penguins&#8217; philosophy of nurturing and integrating young players into their lineup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Penguins&#8217; minds, Dubas has demonstrated a solid track record in fostering talent and maximizing player potential. That could prove valuable in ensuring a seamless transition for the Penguins as Sidney Crosby eventually leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Bottom Line<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In short, Dubas&#8217; potential fit with the Penguins appears promising. His analytical approach, cultural alignment, strategic vision, and player development expertise make him &#8211; in the Penguins&#8217; eyes &#8211; a strong candidate for the organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When the Penguins&#8217; owners return from Monaco, we&#8217;ll see soon what Dubas&#8217; decision might be. If he chooses to join the Penguins, how fun would that be for Maple Leafs fans to root against him? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It could be one more thing to mark on your calendar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/nhltradetalk.com\/maple-leafs-offseason-priorities-team-must-engage\/\">Maple Leafs\u2019 Offseason: 4 Priorities the Team Must Engage<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyle Dubas time with the Toronto Maple Leafs might be over, but will he show up with the Pittsburgh Penguins?
