Add to this I think negative or upset people tend to be more vocal. Forums such as this are not as critical as most others. We are more accepting of the Pegula suckiness. At least they don’t suck for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few questionable decisions yes, but no GM makes all great moves. They certainly aren’t ruined cap-wise. When you have a very good team for so many years, you are going to be capped out. Also, he wouldn’t be coming in to be GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabre fan Posted May 17, 2021 Report Share Posted May 17, 2021 The story I heard was that Rutherford resigned as he had a trade worked out to move Kris LeTang and his huge contract but for whatever reason the owner was totally against that. Obviously clearing out Letang's contract would have freed up big cap space the Pens needed desperately. Heck maybe Rutherford can come here and move Skinner's and/or KO's contracts out (that would take a genius but he is good at moving out bad contracts). And yet again the Pens are going quite fine and is a team he built. They make the playoffs pretty much every year and get big mileage out of so-so players (which is exactly what we need) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin, Crosby and Letang been carrying that team for years now. If I was the owner I wouldn't want to trade my only good D either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's stated on the record that Malkin, Crosby, Letang and Fleury should be able to retire as Penguins, and that trading Fleury is one of his biggest regrets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rasmus_ Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 This wouldn't happen, but I wonder if Eriksson plus something like Beagle could swap for Skinner. Two expiring contracts who are terrible, for one long term possible re-energized move. Plus, Benning was supposedly interested in him prior to him re-signing in Buffalo.

I have never seen a player so badly destroyed by a coach as Dahlin was by Kreuger, he literally went from among the worst defensemen in the league back to his old self the second that con man grifter got sacked. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
