When Jim Rutherford was hired as General Manager of the Pittsburgh Penguins on June 6th, 2014, he was tasked with rebuilding a very broken Penguins team assembled by Ray Shero. Given the Penguins history of being cap ceiling team in the Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin era, and one that should be contending for the Stanley Cup every year, they didn’t have the time for a long rebuild. His job, essentially, was to rebuild on the fly, while still putting a competitive team on the ice that could try and win a Stanley Cup.
