Following Cup win, Penguins GM Rutherford heading to U.S. Open

After winning the second Stanley Cup of his career, Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford was asked about his future, responding only with his plans for later this week - watching golf.

The 67-year-old's second championship comes ten years after he led the Carolina Hurricanes to their first and only Cup victory in 2006.

Rutherford made a number of moves in the past year contributing to the Penguins' success, including the acquisitions of Phil Kessel, Nick Bonino, and Trevor Daley, as well as a mid-season coaching change where he hired Mike Sullivan.
