Teams are continuing to sort out their rosters ahead of training camps. For teams with new General Managers like the Pittsburgh Penguins that means also sorting out their front office. Since Kyle Dubas took over as President of Hockey Operations he has begun to mould the Penguins in his image.

The Penguins have named Doug Wilson as Senior Advisor of Hockey Operations.
