Molinari: Outsider’s View of GM Candidates; Easy Jarry Solution (+)

An executive from a team with no involvement, direct or otherwise, in the Pittsburgh Penguins’ search for a new general manager — an individual who, admittedly, has not been following it closely — offered some strong opinions about a few of the candidates as the hunt was winding down last week.

The exec said former Toronto GM Kyle Dubas, widely regarded as FSG’s top choice for a position in the Penguins’ management structure, “is in another league than those (other) guys” as a GM and that “he’s the real deal.”

The evaluations of some other contenders were far less charitable, however.
