The King of Kings Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 1 hour ago, -AJ- said: Kind of weird to have an assistant GM before a GM, haha. In this case, it looks like "Assistant GM" is not the same as "assistant to the GM". GM is a job position reporting to the President. Assistant GM is another job position reporting to the President. Both positions serve different functions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -Vintage Canuck- Posted December 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 16, 2021 Jim Rutherford: "We are building a front office with people with a variety of backgrounds. Derek has excellent experience and has played an important role on three Stanley Cup winning teams. He will be a key member of our leadership team as we create a progressive, collaborative hockey operations group that can support our team and players at all levels." 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found some gems scouting as FA's or mid to late round picks? He's really a scout that is looking to transition into the GM. He's responsible for the horrific draft list for the last 6 years. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/draft/teams/dr00007475.html 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malkin is a UFA at the end of this season. I'd be pretty thrilled if they signed him to a short term deal. Malkin Pettersson Horvat 25 minutes ago, EternalCanuckFan said: It will be interesting to see if the Canucks will be as active in the trade market. Rutherford said there was a lot of work to do, and I think he'll be pretty active from now until the TDL. Some players I can see leaving are: Pearson, Hoglander, Poolman, and maybe even a Top 6 player. Be great if he could snag another (2022) 1st rounder.

AK_19 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I mean I'm willing to be open-minded about him but....what exactly has he done that's been a success in the past? I get that he was with the Pens for their three cups but I'm not clear what he did to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustard Tiger Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 (edited) I swear the pens are always that one team that just gets destroyed by injuries to all top players, Yet their play doesn't change and they keep getting points ( good pro scouting? ) I know i'm not going to sit here and pretend i know more than JR, So i'm guessing this is a quality signing. Yay changes! Edited December 16, 2021 by Mustard Tiger 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nucker 67 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I wouldn't put too much stock into blaming Clancey for the Penguins' drafts over the last few years. It hasn't been great, but isn't that the GM's call? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
