Jim Rutherford Good Quotations

Signing a player is different for each team. You have to take into consideration what is a good fit for your individual team's situation.

Josef is coming off two very good seasons and is approaching the prime of his career. We are very happy to have him signed to a multiyear deal.

Justin is a young player who we anticipate will play a significant role on our team. He brings a good deal of NHL experience to our group of young forwards, and has demonstrated that he can develop into a top-level NHL player.

Which is not good enough. Then it will depend on how the team does.

We'll have to see how it plays out and how he's coming along, but certainly he's on the bubble of playing for the Hurricanes. He's a very good player, the type of player that's hard to find in that he's big and strong, and plays the game really hard on every shift.

It's a good building block to get these two really good young players.
