nossagog Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Rutherford says the Pens won't be trying to resign some of the pending free agents. Hope he tries to sell some rights for late picks. Could be the end of Brooksiehttp://www.post-gazette.com/sports/penguins/2014/06/12/New-Penguins-GM-s-plans-will-take-shape-next-week/stories/201406120264 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Polaris922 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 He also said he doesn't see a need for major changes just some tweaks and a different coaching philosophy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 @nossagog I know a lot of you guys were down on Orpik this year, but I for one, as happy he will probably land outside our division, hopefully....lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nossagog Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 @jammer2 I think as Pens fans we still expect him to play like the Brooks Orpik that laid out 3 Wings in one shift in the SCF in 08. Over the ensuing years, his physical nature has gone away, and his defensive skills have declined with age and he's lost a step. He's still a great leader, but the bottom line is, he's not the top defensive pair player he was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
