Since Rutherford often says what he means and means what he says, it’s worthwhile to take his comments to NHL.com yesterday at face value. Rutherford laid out what his mindset is going into the hours leading up to the deadline.
“If we could add another forward to give us a little more balance in our Top 12, we’d do it if it’s someone who we think is the right fit,” Rutherford said.
