Penguins Update: Rating Rutherford’s Trades
With the NHL trade deadline fast approaching, I thought it’d be fun to glance in the rearview mirror and do a quick summary of general manager Jim Rutherford’s trades since he arrived in Pittsburgh.
Of course, the ratings are completely subjective, based on the observations of yours truly. Feel free to chime in if you disagree.
Minor-league trades are not included.
2014-15 June 27: James Neal to Nashville for Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling Skinny: Neal’s scored more goals than Hornqvist since the trade (71-64). However, No. 72’s emerged as a net-front tour de force and heart-and-soul leader.
Rating: A-
