You’re seriously asking?So Sidney Crosby has a say in who gets to be the next GM?

I once met John Henry years ago at a Marlins event and he was polite enough to have a couple minute discussion with some of us low life’s. He struck me as brilliant and calculating. Very methodical so I would agree with this. If Kyle is remotely fudging things about his analytics knowledge Henry will pick that up very quickly.It’ll be interesting to see if he gets the Prez job because… be careful what you wish for. Even Presidents have bosses and he might find John Henry, who sounds like he fancies himself a baseball nerd, has even more opinions than the MLSE board.
Unless he wins a cup.I still can't believe a 37-year-old Ontarian threw away the job of a lifetime.
In another podcast Doug MacLean mentioned Kyle asked to have lunch with him once to get his advice on how to deal with a disgruntled ownership group. Story is that at the time Kyle suspected he'd be fired by the Greyhounds.
Sometimes later he gets a miracle cold call from a hall of famer in Brandon Shanahan, and the rest is history.
29-year-old Kyle Dubas would absolutely be shocked at how he handled himself this week. He will never be fully satisfied with his jobs for the rest of his life.
He wins the cup and he'll be highly highly satisfied.Unless he wins a cup.
sarcastically...You’re seriously asking?
You're sarcastically serious?sarcastically...
John Henry enjoys running baseball simulations in his spare time. Surprised SuperGeek is out and Brock U is in.
Does he strike you as a megalomaniac?He wins the cup and he'll be highly highly satisfied.
But he won't be god. He could have been one here.
There's some beautiful countryside in western PA, perfect for a family looking to de-stress.Maybe Kyle is trying to eventually switch sports. I don't see how the Penguins job is more enticing than the Leafs job.
Not to mention he's got to live in Pittsburgh. His wife will be bored out of her minds. Only so many times you can eat and "meat and potatoes" and visit mount Washington.
He goes to Pittsburgh, impresses John and eventually switches to their baseball side.
No. He's always looked like a highly accomplished but level headed person. Everyone around him speak well of him as well. That's one reason I liked cheering for him instead of being jealous. Nice guy who got to live the dream for all of us. And why I hate how he handled it this week.Does he strike you as a megalomaniac?
I have lived in the area. It gets real boring after a while.There's some beautiful countryside in western PA, perfect for a family looking to de-stress.

Other than the 1950s mentality of many in that region western PA is an awesome place. He will buy a house in Sewickley heights and be able to get away from hockey.There's some beautiful countryside in western PA, perfect for a family looking to de-stress.
Not even execs. My dad did this in blue collar work. No doubt in my mind it saved his life and I'd rather live in a trailer with my dad that have it kill him.Many execs downsize. It’s not that uncommon. He will get satisfaction from any gm position if he gets one.
Or unemployment isn't all it is cracked up to be.Ya fuck his crocodile tears at the presser. Seeming more and more likely this was the plan all along with how it all went down
100% not a normal job and the they know itI see your point. This is not a normal job though. It's not a bank executive who could "shake up " the boardom and become an exec in the healthcare industry.
There has been fewer than 210 GM's in all of NHL history. What is he left to do? Move to Pittsburgh of all places and again be a GM? Take on a lessor role with significantly more normal salary?
