Rush17 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 He's hired. Get over it lol. Jimbo is gone its ok we are allowed another gm. I dont have the memory space to even consider this. Can our wounds heal first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanP Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Now, OP, please tell us how you really feel about this hiring lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
48MPHSlapShot Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Even though the OP is a total troll, I'll say this much. If Rutherford selects Botterill as his GM, my outlook for the team going forward will go straight down the toilet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't sound like you want him close to them either. Weird hill to die on ? I mildly supported Benning and took arrows for it. I supported Gillis and Nonis too. Why ? Because they weren't gun slinger GM's. Rutherford is actually qualified to be a GM, unlike Gillis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted December 10, 2021 Author Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) At the very end of the podcast, Nick Kypreos asks why they hired JR. EVERYTHING you need to know about Jimmy and the next 3 years is revealed in this clip. Starts at around 33 mins "JR is a win now guy. After looking at this lineup , he will try and make some moves to win now. Jimmy is not a start over guy. Jimmy will look at it like he looked at Pittsburgh" "Boeser and Petterson aren't Gino and Crosby. But they are to Jimmy now" He also implies that his GM will just be a pencil pusher. The hockey decisions will be JR's. https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5zaW1wbGVjYXN0LmNvbS80alhCT1dnWQ/episode/OGMxNDNiOTctNjU1OC00YmQ2LWJiMzYtYjdmMzJhODkzZDhm?ep=14 Edited December 10, 2021 by MaxVerstappen33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wildcam Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Guys on SportsNet 650 said Rutherford made 60 trades in 5 yrs in Pittsburgh.. He will make moves so get ready in next few weeks... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassbs Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) I wish people realize JR is not the GM! He’s the president of hockey operations. He’s not going to be selling the farm, or trading all of our core players for milk and cookies. He’s going to hire a gm to deal with all that. All I’m reading across the net is “say goodbye to your team Vancouver” Or “ bye bye draft picks”. Edited December 10, 2021 by sassbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hired JR to do the same, so I think it's safe to say that that's what he's going to try and do is make trades to try and win. It's a little concerning for lots of fans that quick deals will be made that won't work and yet set the team back for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Rathbone and our 1st will be gone this year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know Kypreos suggested the Oilers trade Draisaitl in Feburary of 2018? You know, right before he broke out and became one of the best players in hockey.

But Benning had the sense to keep every other pick and/or have some development going behind the scenes. Rutherford doesn't have that sense. He will trade Rathbone without thinking much of it if he thinks he can get a piece for this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
