Here is Penguins general manager Kyle Dubas. He met the media for his end of season media session yesterday.
00:08
Of course, the Penguins have a lot of work to do to try to build this team back up.
00:13
Let's hear Kyle Dubas explain a couple of the ways that can happen.
00:16
I just think that there are a number of teams in the league that, you know, there's two paths to go down.
00:20
You can go into the mass teardown rebuild and hope you get lucky with the lottery and hope that, you know, all this happens.
00:29
But you can you can hope in one hand and in the other and and see which one fills up for.
00:38
Yeah, literally, I have no idea what he just said, you know, whatever.
00:44
Like, listen, the bottom line is, is that in my view, they have Sid Crosby at 37 next year and they have nothing else.
00:53
I think Letang, after his second heart surgery, is shot.
00:59
I think Malkin looks shot.
01:01
And meanwhile, they're not getting rid of either one of them.
01:03
They're going to keep rolling those guys out there.
01:06
And I think their goaltending is ass.
01:10
It's complete ass.
01:13
I mean, stone ground ass mustard is what it is.
01:16
It is so awful.
01:17
I mean, I have no idea how this guy thinks he can just put a winner out there with what some draft pick.
01:27
Like they're not getting Lemieux or Crosby again.
01:30
It's not happening.
01:32
There's no player out there like that.
01:34
Those they just got two in a row.
01:36
But Darden, what's the kid in San Jose?
01:42
Celebrini.
01:43
Celebrini.
01:43
They got, you know, they got, those are the two best players that have come along in a long time.
01:48
This kid on Montreal, he's not a draft pick.
01:53
Like, he's playing already.
01:55
This kid's already in the league.
01:57
So, I don't see where they're going to get so good so quickly.
02:01
Like, he says, if there's any team that needs to tear it down and rebuild it, it's the Penguins.
02:07
Am I not?
02:08
Am I tripping here?
02:09
Like, they really suck.
02:10
Like, they need to tear it all down.
02:12
They have a bunch of hacks on that team they need to get rid of.
02:15
It's awful.
02:17
And I'll tell you another thing.
02:18
I would trade Carlson 25 minutes ago.
02:22
I mean, honest to Christ.
02:23
They got this guy, and he did absolutely nothing in Pittsburgh except make a bunch of money.
02:28
He never did anything.
02:30
Ever.
02:31
Not one thing ever.
02:32
His best days were eight years ago.
02:35
When the Penguins were beating the Sharks in the Stanley Cup finals, that was when he mattered.
02:41
He sucks now.
02:43
Get rid of his stale ass.
02:45
I mean, don't get me started.
02:47
Honestly, I just want to get through this show.
02:49
Can you get me home to the finish line?
02:51
You start talking about my hockey team like this.
02:52
You have a happy day, and then you give me this?
02:55
Like, their misery?
02:56
Their misery loves company.
02:57
They're so awful.
02:58
I think that guy did a terrible job in Pittsburgh.
03:01
In fact, I don't like him.
03:05
We'll see what he can do.
03:06
He's got to start turning it around.
03:08
He'll start turning it around for you.
03:10
Kyle Dubas.
03:11
He's a brainiac.
03:12
He's a whiz kid.
03:13
He's a whiz kid.
03:14
He'll be able to get it done eventually.
