Ever wonder why Jim Rutherford quit? We now reportedly have the answer!

We've reached the end of another busy week! Hunter has a bit of a different show for this one as he goes into DK's Friday Insider article and touches on the reported reason for Jim Rutherford's absence. He goes into what that move could've been (No, it's not a Kris Letang trade) and also speculates what that conversation with David Morehouse looks like. He also wonders if more about this story will ever come out in the future. Following that, Hunter gets into a report from Taylor Haase about what the Heinen camp was expecting if he was qualified and if it went to arbitration. He looks at why the Penguins made the right call in that circumstance and wonders what a new deal would look like if the team does circle back. He also looks at why Brian Dumoulin may not be moved (according to Danny Shirey) and how management makes a pretty good point in the opposite direction. Finally, Hunter brings up a couple of talking points from the 32 Thoughts podcast and wonders what the proposed trade would've looked like had the Penguins moved a defenseman at the NHL Draft (per Friedman). All that, plus much more on this episode of Locked On Penguins.
