While yesterday it was reported that Kyle Dubas had a contract with the Penguins, but he may have changed his mind in favor of waiting things out.

Major turnaround Kyle Dubas changes his mind on Pens GM position

Among all of the big news that dropped yesterday, one of if not the biggest news was Kyle Dubas reportedly going to Pittsburgh for his next GM position.

However, it turns out that maybe Dubas is not taking the position in Pittsburgh.

NHL insider Frank Seravalli went on the Fan Drive Home to discuss the latest on Dubas:

"I did see a report in the last half hour from Mark Madden from 105.9 the X in Pittsburgh, a pretty well-connected guy in the Pittsburgh scene, who is reporting that Kyle Dubas is closing in on a contract with the Pittsburgh Penguins. That kind of goes against just about every single thing that I've heard. I seem to have some indication and not obviously to a point where I feel comfortable in reporting it but there's been lots of smoke in the last 24 hours that Kyle Dubas has in fact turned down the Pittsburgh Penguins... it just seems that there's an indication that the Penguins and Fenway Sports Group have re-engaged with some other people that they were previously interviewing which would lend to speculation that Kyle Dubas has turned them down. But again nothing that I'm comfortable sharing in an official way." - Frank Seravalli

This contradicts the major report that Dubas is going to Pittsburgh.

This would be a huge curveball in the Penguins' offseason and they will have to go from Dubas, the best GM on the market, to somebody else.

To put salt in the wounds, Brad Treliving, the 2nd best candidate on the market signed with Toronto yesterday so it appears the Pens will have to settle for third at best.
