Fresh off calling the list of defensemen this best group in his tenure, Jim Rutherford is already going to break them up.
“It’s good to be in the position we’re in,” Rutherford told the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette on Monday afternoon. “We’re in a stronger position now than we were a year ago or maybe even a couple years ago.
“But it will be difficult to keep all of our defensemen and keep them happy. I’m sure with the amount of teams who are looking for defensemen, we’ll have to move at least one.”
That much is obvious, being as the Penguins already have six defensemen under contract for $3.
