Something doesn't work in Pittsburgh. Given the great talent on their roster, struggling to succeed is raising eyebrows.
A recent statement from General Manager Dubas has ignited a lot or rumours:
"I have my expectations of the group now, and I have my responsibility in the long run when it comes to how we're going to dictate our course. I'm going to give the players and the coaching staff as much time as possible," Dubas said. "So I'm just by nature not going to make any decisions based on how we do this week or next week. When we get through the All-Star break, and on the other side of that, we'll have a better idea of what we are as a group and where we need to go. Do we need some help, or do we need to have a deeper discussion about where we're at as a club?"
According to the former Leafs' GM, if there's no significant improvement following the All-Star break, things could change in Pittsburgh.
Considering the presence of respected and talented veterans on the team, such comments are likely to fuel discussions and emotions within the locker room.
