6 candidates that could replace Jim Rutherford as Penguins general manager

The Pittsburgh Penguins should fire general manager Jim Rutherford. But who would take his spot?

After a schadenfreude-inducing first round loss to the New York Rangers, the Pittsburgh Penguins should give general manager Jim Rutherford the boot.

It seems like they might keep him around according to recent reports, but most people not named Jim Rutherford want him out, super geniuses like Mark Madden have repeatedly made totally rational cases as to why Rutherford should be fired.

He failed to build a team that with Heart™, Grit™, and Passion™. Even though they had a healthy dose of top-level talent, the Penguins just didn't want it enough™ and were struggling in the motivation™ department.
