Lately I’ve been pointing out a somewhat concerning trend, both here and at one of my other writing jobs over at NBC, regarding all of the recent moves that general manager Jim Rutherford has made for the Penguins.
The trend: none of them make it more than a year in Pittsburgh before they end up getting shipped back out of town to another team.
Going all the way back to last offseason, almost every move the Penguins have made has backfired or not worked out in such a way that they have had to make another series of moves to correct them.
