Rutherfords second last trade he made before he quit. Safe to say the Pens started going down hill after this.

NO. It was letting McCann go unprotected while we spent a draft protection slot for Jeffro FN Carter at age 45.

This trade still pisses me off. Hornqvist was fiercely competitive and not afraid to hold people accountable, the team truly turned country club after he left.

While hornqvist did a mini bounceback after going to FLA, he was on the VERY edge of becoming a gigantic blackhole here and that contract was going to screw us badly very soon...

... 20/20 hindsight... Yeah sure we should have kept him around anyway, cause we didn't do any better without him nor use that money for any good, at all

He’s in that category of player that isn’t a superstar but has a superstar level impact on winning teams. No back to back Cups without him.
