Can Dubas spark this team

They NEED to fix that PP. It continuously is the reason this team loses.

As a GM, you can't really spark the team. Dubai's record shows he's not a good "trader". Draft record poor since he loves trading picks. He's good at finding bottom enders at a fair price but certainly not game changers. Pens have a lot of long term contracts, seems like they gotta live with these players. Better play and/or coaching is the spark.

I warned Pens fans about Dubas, one of the most overrated GMs in the league. Can't build defences and is very stubborn when it comes to upgrading the team (see Kerfoot and Holl). He thinks you can win cups with small, skilled, and soft players

Also, there is no way Dubas acquires Maroon. Way too big and physical for his team, find someone in the 5'9" - 5'10" range at around 160 to 180 pounds, that's his sweet spot

Maybe the Pens need to put Pitlick and Nylander in their bottom six, could probably use some younger legs in the lineup and Pitlick has produced in the past.

Stanley isn't gonna help you and not sure your 3rd D pair is your issue.

I can't see Guerin being willing to trade Maroon either, that's his type of player. Add in the fact LD is the position the Wild absolutely need the least and you've basically sent them a bunch of nothing for 2 useful players.
