Kyle Dubas had a history of failing with his goaltenders during his otherwise solid five-year run as Toronto Maple Leafs general manager.
Dubas is off to an even worse start with the Penguins.
There is no way to justify the five-year, $26.875 million contract the Penguins gave Tristan Jarry on Saturday, although Dubas certainly tried. He went to great lengths to talk about Jarry's character, his understanding of the high expectations on him and his desire to stay healthy and be better. He even mentioned he was impressed with Jarry personally during a meeting in Edmonton with him and his wife, Hannah.
