Let's Go Pens! Ru

Давно не писал. Если учесть тот факт, что тренера и менеджера не поменяют, то можно ожидать изменений только в худшую сторону в этом межсезонье и в следующем сезоне тем более.


А Харта отдадут однозначно Прайсу, Мастертона - Крису.

Tom Fitzgerald and fellow Penguins assistant GM Jason Botterill are said to have their contracts ending this summer. Penguins GM Jim Rutherford has been complimentary of both, saying he expects no changes to the front office, but added that if someone can make a step to improve their career, he wouldn't block that from happening either.

If either or both Fitzgerald or Botterill jump ship, that would be significant losses to the Penguins, who would be even more reliant on Rutherford and his right-hand man Jason Karmanos.

Personnel movements will be interesting to track and watch unfold, however the bigger precedent that the Pens have set is not requiring a draft pick for a fired management official. You would have to assume the same would apply for any team that wishes to hire Bylsma this summer as well.
