When Penguins CEO David Morehouse announced the hiring of Jim Rutherford as the team's next General Manager, it generated plenty of buzz for the wrong reasons.
Rutherford said he was looking at two or three years and would mentor Jason Botterill, Bill Guerin and Tom Fitzgerald.
Fitzgerald left to go work with Ray Shero in New Jersey leaving Botterill and Guerin as his pupils.
Rutherford is old but Yoda, he is not.
Botterill and Guerin are learning what not to do as a General Manager in the NHL.
Now after firing Mike Johnston and replacing him with Mike Sullivan, team has gone 0-4.
