Rutherford on Despres:
"He took a big step forward the first couple months of the season. Probably better than anyone projected him to play. As time has gone on, we felt his play dropped off. That's not necessarily his fault. Maybe he was put in situations where he wasn't comfortable, or was playing more minutes than he could handle at this point in his career.
"If we didn't have the number of young defensemen we presently have, this would've been a difficult deal to make."
So I sold low on him because all we draft are defensemen?
