Controversial Statement Sparks Discussion
While it was expected that Dubas would praise his new role and its associated city during the press interaction, his statement implying that Pittsburgh feels more like home than Toronto raised some speculation.
Critics suggest this could either reflect his lack of satisfaction with his time in Toronto or possibly insincerity.
A Look at Dubas's Hockey Journey
Dubas's roots trace back to Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, geographically not too distant from Toronto. He began his hockey management career as the General Manager of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds, progressing to the GM of the Toronto Marlies and later the assistant GM for the Leafs.
He assumed the position of Toronto's General Manager in 2017. Considering this extensive connection with Toronto, his prompt connection with Pittsburgh, barely a month into his role, speaks volumes about his new city.
