The NHL club Pittsburgh Penguins has fired the entire club management.
The president of the club and the supreme authority Brian Burkegeneral manager Ron Hextall and Assistant GM Chris Pryor were all relieved of their duties at the end of the season.
The trio started their duties in February 2021. The past season was a disappointment for the aging team. For the first time in 17 years, the Penguins did not make the NHL playoffs.
The end of the penguin flock’s flight once and for all means an era of reconstruction. The current core of the team is hopelessly out of date.
Captain and soul of the team Sidney Crosby is 35 years old, as well as Kris Letang. Yevgeni Malkin is one year older than the two. It is clear that the team can no longer build on these players who have served the club excellently over the years.
The Penguins camp can look back with pride. The 17-year playoff streak brought the club three Stanley Cups and one trip to the finals as the losing side. The team made it to the finals of the Eastern Conference five times.
Changes can also be seen in other teams. The Anaheim Ducks, who missed the playoffs for the fifth time in a row, says that the head coach does not Dallas Eakins continue in his position next season.
