Upon assuming his role as President of Hockey Operations with the Penguins, Kyle Dubas was immediately faced with queries from the press.
The reporters were keen to know his plans regarding some of the star players of the team, including Sidney Crosby, Evgeny Malkin, and Kristopher Letang.
Kyle responded with clarity and confidence, making his intentions very clear. He stated,
"The way I look at it is, if people want to bet against Mike Sullivan, Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang and others, they can go ahead and do that, but I'm going to bet on them and go ahead with them here. I think this is a group capable of fighting to win a championship."

Dubas clearly suggested that there will be no significant shake-ups in the team in the near future. Instead, the focus of the management will be to build a robust support system around these three players, aiming to construct a strong team.
