Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing the circus that McGuire would bring.

Strange retread hire. Thought he's done a terrible job recently in turning the Hurricanes into a flawed, mediocre team.

I'm guessing it was himself. I'm guessing the thought of being the GM of crosbys team was too much for Pierre to hand and "relieved himself" during the interview.

I thought he retired? Apparently he just got bored of running Carolina.

After the wait and the speculation they pick up a retread GM? And not a good one at that.

Oddly I would have picked McGuire over Rutherford . At least in theory McGuire knows what a make up of a team should look like for a chance at Cup. Granted i would pick neither.

Blast from the past. I would have never guessed Rutherford was even in the running.

I think I would have enjoyed watching Pierre the Monster run that team and "build something special". Too bad.

Although this is a bit of an odd retread hire. Way to go out on a limb Mario.

Mediocre GM imo. Don't see him getting the Pens back to championship form.
