No shit - of course
ANY GM would listen to
ANY offer for
ANY player.
Jim Rutherford: 'We're open to conversations on all players'
Some Highlights:
“We may end up saying no to offers, certainly, but we’re not going to say no to having conversations about any player. This is about improving this team
without taking shortcuts...” (<-
Interesting concept)
“...Continue to stick to either getting young players, 25 or younger, or getting draft picks.” (<-
Picks please. More picks.)
“There’s deals out there that could make our team better today, but does it work for us over a three-year period? ...
this rebuild can take two or three years, not six to 10.” (<-
Chef-like adjustments )
“There will be opportunities to also add veteran players who would play a developmental role for the team’s younger players. He cited Chicago’s signing of Nick Foligno in 2023 as an example...” (
Giraffe and Meaty ain't going nowhere, we're adding even more!)
“...If we don’t stick to it, the
rebuild process will take longer,” he said. “And get the people here what they deserve: a championship-calibre team. Our preference is to pick (in the draft) as high as we can.” (<-
Huh, does Frank know about this new plan? Does he have money for rings?)
