Kovacevic: No trade, change or shuffle can substitute
It's tempting, after a terrible loss like the 5-2 pummeling the Penguins absorbed from the Sabres on this Saturday afternoon at PPG Paints Arena, to seek out the snap-of-a-finger fix.
Well, I'm here to tell you it won't happen. And even if there's any such attempt, it'll fail.
Want to see another big trade?
Jim Rutherford's very much open for business on that front, I'm told, in advance of the NHL deadline Monday. And there were a bunch of names bouncing around the building here as potential targets -- Max Domi, Andreas Athanasiou, even Eric Staal came up -- for whatever such peripheral buzz is worth.
Won't matter if Rutherford pulls it off. Not in isolation.
