Some of you may have already read this, but over the last couple of days a rumor has surfaced in both the local and national media. The rumor to which I refer is a discussion where GM Jim Rutherford goes after and lands Unrestricted Free Agent (UFA) John Tavares.
So far, from what I have read, everyone is acknowledging that given the Penguins’ financial situation, Rutherford would have to work the same type of magic that brought us Phil Kessel and Trevor Daley, otherwise the numbers (financially) just will not work.
