If Pittsburgh wasn't trading back into the first round there was no need to rush a trade this evening.
Rutherford has been working the phones
Rutherford spoke a few minutes ago. He's talked with 5 or 6 teams. Nothing doing yet. Trade could still happen this weekend.

Rutherford has talked to 5-6 teams. All are after young D. "Different teams like different ones."

Everybody loves young Penguins D...

Ultimately this is the correct approach. Sleep on it, regroup, re-evaluate tomorrow.
Stay tuned, always a good amount of deals on day two of the draft.
Edit 9:39 PM
Darren Dreger reiterated everything this blog already said but did add Pittsburgh is still looking to get into the 1st round.
