In a segment on television tonight on NBC Sports, hockey insider Bob McKenzie talked a little about the Penguins and their current mindset and outlook a few weeks out from the 2020 NHL trade deadline. And when the “Bobfather” talks, you listen.
When asked how aggressive the Penguins might be McKenzie said: “Pittsburgh general manager Jimmy Rutherford was on record this week as saying he definitely wants to go out and get a top-six forward.”
McKenzie was referencing Josh Yohe’s recent piece in The Athletic that included Rutherford’s comment:
Rutherford’s only desire is to improve his team for this spring.
