Don Cherry Calls Out The Pittsburgh Penguins New Hiring
Don Cherry, the outspoken hockey analyst, has once again criticized Kyle Dubas, the former GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs and current President of Hockey Operations in Pittsburgh who just signed a questionable 7 year deal.
Cherry questioned Dubas' rise in the hockey world, pointing out his perceived failures and questionable decision-making.
"He wanted to kind of take Shanahan out of the decision making process... he wanted to have more autonomy to make the decisions. So he goes to Pittsburgh and he's not GM, he's the head of hockey operations."
"He just keeps going up, like he's failing and yet he climbs up to the top... I just don't get it, how does a guy like that keep getting higher and higher into the chain of command?"
"He took over the Sault St. Marie in 2011-12 and that's kinda tough because they didn't have a good team but he was out of the playoffs, then the next year he was out of the first round, and then the next year he was out in the second round, and then he made assistant GM with the Leafs... GM of the Leafs out in the first round, out in the first round, out in the first round, out in the first round, out in the second, and now he's the head of hockey operations, what did he do to get to that point..."

While Cherry's critique raises valid concerns, it is clear that his deep-seated animosity towards Dubas might be clouding his judgment. You can listen to Cherry's full podcast on Twitter below:
