In recent news, Sidney Crosby has released an official statement that seems to directly but quietly disagree with Penguins GM and President of Hockey Operations Kyle Dubas. The conversation around trading Jake Guentzel has been quite public and popular as the trade deadline came to an end. Whether or not it was worth the return of Michael Bunting, fans have been wondering if the Penguins made the proper decision.
As Crosby has shown such dedication to the team he skates for, it is definitely hard to judge him in regards to his open, yet subtle disagreement with Kyle Dubas. He didn't outright knock his general manager, but the devil's in the details when it comes to analyzing Crosby's statement. One can assume it was an innocent conversation that allowed Crosby to reminisce and admire his history alongside hard-working Guentzel, while most can assume he and General Manager Kyle Dubas are not on the same page when it comes to the future of the Pittsburgh Penguins. It is hard to judge the seasoned veteran considering what he has provided to the franchise, and this recent update begs the question; How will this affect the Penguins moving forward?
