One of the best things about Jim Rutherford as a fan or follower of the Penguins is that he typically says what he means and he means what he says. We could all see it last year when Rutherford was openly pretty disgusted about how his team was playing. He thought they were uninspired, too comfortable after winning a few Stanley Cups. He didn’t like the mix in the room or the performance on the ice. So he went about changing it in a big way. Whether it was moving players like Carl Hagelin and later Phil Kessel, Rutherford set and accomplished re-shaping the team.
How patient can an impatient general manager really be?
