Back to back Cups followed by bowing out in the second round to the eventual champions isn't really wearing out a welcome. And no one values stay-at-home defensemen anymore, because they're not valuable.
Sorry, but the slide began and Rutherford has hastened it with this off-season's moves. Murray in goal while having Letang and JJ manning 2 d pairings...LOL.

Maybe he'll move Kessel and repair some damage.

Penguins Re-Sign Jamie Oleksiak

Keeping him with 3rd pairing minutes it has value. He had his moments last year, I didn't think he was good but with his size he helped protect the team out there when needed.

Love the big rig. Dude has presence and can carry the puck. Finally someone who actually hits on defense.

Not sure I understand the need for this...Makes me question Rutherford even more
The more center depth the better, we all know they don’t stay healthy. Also gives them the flexibility to try Brassard with Malkin and Kessel.

Really is such a low cost low risk.

Jarry signed for 2 years! Thank god...not saying he's an answer, but kid looks pretty good. Murray on the other hand, gets worse every year and Rutherford has helped by not addressing defense. He's done the opposite...Jack freaking Johnson!!!

The poor d will expose either. It was pretty obvious that Murray's glove hand is weak and will continue to be so without defensive improvements. Just worried the same type of exposure might happen with Jarry.
