PITTSBURGH — Much is still to be learned about new president of hockey operations Kyle Dubas and his long-term vision for the Penguins, and we will need more than one month before we can draw conclusions about his tenure. But one thing was apparent in recent days. The man sure is an elite multi-tasker, isn't he?
In terms of total transactions, Saturday was one of the busiest days in franchise history. Per Penguins historian Bob Grove, the eight new contracts Dubas handed out was the most signings the team had ever made in one day.
The long-term deals given to No. 1 goalie Tristan Jarry and new defenseman Ryan Graves were two of the most expensive signings of NHL free agency.
