Penguins GM Rutherford growing impatient with Derick Brassard

The Pittsburgh Penguins are growing weary of the job center Derick Brassard is doing.

How is such a bold statement so easily said? Well the general manager said as much plainly to Jason Mackey of the Post-Gazette:

Derick Brassard, their big acquisition last season, hasn’t been what they expected. He has no points in seven games, three in his past 17. Which means that either Brassard needs to start scoring, or he must suddenly transform himself into a Selke Trophy candidate and penalty-killing dynamo.

That’s what the Penguins will be watching for over the next little while, general manager Jim Rutherford told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Sunday.
