Over a total of seven seasons, from 2014 until his resignation in 2021, the Pittsburgh Penguins' front office was blessed to be led by one of the top managerial minds in the history of the game. Jim Rutherford, himself a former player with the Detroit Red Wings, Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, and Los Angeles Kings, was brought into the management sphere with the Hartford Whalers/Carolina Hurricanes organization in 1994. Throughout his managerial career, Rutherford cultivated a reputation as one with the ability to orchestrate the perfect deal, whether at the deadline or in the offseason. As GM of the Hurricanes, he acquired the fourth-overall draft pick (Andrew Ladd) from the Columbus Blue Jackets for two picks, a 2004 first-rounder (Alexandre Picard) and a 2004 second-rounder (Kyle Wharton).
