Keeping seats filled is a key priority for any hockey operations leader. Kyle Dubas faced this challenge head-on when joining the Pittsburgh Penguins, a team with a history of success, including a significant acquisition like Erik Karlsson.

However, the team's swift decline, highlighted by empty seats during a game against the San Jose Sharks, has raised concerns.
Pittsburgh's transformation into a hockey powerhouse was largely due to Sidney Crosby, but his potential departure looms large over the team's future and fan interest.
The city's commitment to hockey without Crosby is uncertain, and with the current performance woes, if Dubas can't reverse the team's fortunes, ownership's patience may run out.
