When the Pittsburgh Penguins hired Kyle Dubas to be their President of Hockey Operations, we all knew that he would be targeting some Leafs personnel.
He is doing exactly that and there are three major members of the Maple Leafs organization he is targeting.
Per insider James Mirtle:
In addition to this from Mirtle, Elliotte Friedman has also provided insight on who else Dubas wants.
So to recap, Kyle Dubas now wants to bring Brandon Pridham (AGM), Darryl Metcalf (AGM), and Wes Clark (Head Scout) on top of analytics members. If Dubas can pull off this heist, the Maple Leafs front office will be picked clean.
This is definitely not just revenge but there could be a level of pettiness to this that the Leafs need to account for. While contracts will play a role in things, if Dubas can offer them all promotions then the Leafs will likely be forced to let them leave.
