Not every GM wins two Stanley Cups in his first three years with a team, either. The fact remains that Rutherford took a Pittsburgh team that hadn't won a championship since 2009, in spite of having those two ‘automatic hall of famers/legends’ on the roster, and built up the supporting cast that allowed them to win two championships in three years.
He also won a Stanley Cup in Carolina, and he did not have any Hall of Famers when he took over there. The team was still in Hartford at that time.
