Rutherford was a terrible hire if one only considers how he treats people. Boudreau deserves way better than the passive aggressive shots Rutherford has taken at Boudreau through the media about how if a system was in place, the team would be better. Add in his push to contend this year through his trades and signings and he's proven he hasn't improved anything since Benning. While there's been evidence that ownership is driving many hockey decisions, Rutherford doesn't strike me as a guy to go along with a direction he doesn't agree makes sense. Too many Canuck fans are putting 100% blame on Aquilini - he deserves much of the blame, but not all of it.
