Current Pittsburgh Penguins General Manager Kyle Dubas Remains silent on how he felt about being fired from the General Manager position in Toronto.

Kyle Dubas seemed happy in Toronto and once he was fired, he was quickly picked up by the Pittsburgh Penguins. But Maple Leafs fans are still curious about his side of the story.

Just days before he was let go by Toronto, he indicated he would not want to be anywhere else. His goal seemed to be to stay in Toronto even with his contract coming to an end.

But before his contract officially did end, the Leafs cut ties with the GM. The story was never told by either side, and Dubas has his reasons for keeping silent on the matter.


The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun was able to speak to Dubas at a GM meeting in Florida and asked about it. It was clear that Dubas did not want to open up about the firing, and switched topics are quickly as he could.
