When former GM Jim Rutherford took over the Penguins’ helm back in 2014, the first thing he did was swing a trade with Nashville to change team’s culture. Enter Patric Hornqvist, a maniacal net-front presence and Tasmanian Devil on skates.
Fast forward to now. If ever a team’s culture needed changing, it’s our present-day Pens. To that end, current GM Ron Hextall should follow his predecessor’s lead.
There’s absolutely nothing in the rumor mill connecting our Pens to Nashville left wing Tanner Jeannot. Nor is there any indication Hextall has even remotely considered pursuing the aggressive 25-year-old forward.
