Lots of crying going on about this trade as a pens fan I love it
I don't know why everyone is blaming Jim Rutherford when this whole ******* thing is Jim Benning's fault.
He traded Bonino, Clendenning, and a 2nd for Sutter
Rutherford moved Clendenning and Perron (for which he'd used a first) to get Hagelin
And that 2nd round pick . . . Gustavsson, the big piece in the Brassard deal.
Basically, JR parlayed Sutter and 2 first round picks into 2 runs with Bonino, 2 runs with Brassard, and 4 runs with Hagelin.
If HFBoards wants to blame someone, blame Jim Benning.
