Summary
Kyle Dubas turned heads this season, ending Pittsburgh’s three-year playoff drought and finishing second in the division with a masterclass in mid-season rebuilding. His draft moves were pure wizardry—pulling off slick trades for Zonnon, Horcoff, Clifton, and more—while free agent signings like Mantha and Wotherspoon delivered career years. Even risky bets like Harvey-Pinard and Alexeyev paid off, especially with AHL playoff magic. A few missteps—Tomasino’s flop, Dumba’s underperformance—were quickly corrected. The real genius? Trading Jarry and Poulin for Skinner and Kulak, then adding explosive scorer Chinakhov and steal Soderblom. Dubas didn’t just fix the present—he built a dynamic, youthful foundation with serious future upside. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
