If you are a regular reader here, you will note that among my areas of concern for our Pittsburgh Penguins has been their lack of natural Wingers and bigger bodies. Well, maybe GM Jim Rutherford has had similar musings. Yesterday, rather than wasting the team’s first round pick on an ill-advised trade, Rutherford plucked Samuel Poulin from the Entry Draft tree. Fellow Penguin Poop writer Rick Buker and frequent comment contributor Mike should be pleased.
