PITTSBURGH -- When Jim Rutherford arrived in Pittsburgh in the summer of 2014, he figured hed be around two or three years tops. Its one promise the general manager is happy to break.The Penguins signed Rutherford to a new three-year contract Friday just two weeks removed from the franchises fourth Stanley Cup -- one that had Rutherfords fingerprints all over it.Everything Jim said he was going to do from the first interview we talked to him, hes accomplished, Penguins president and CEO David Morehouse said.The Penguins lured Rutherford, 67, to Pittsburgh two years ago and tasked him with overhauling a talented but underachieving roster. He rebuilt the team on the fly around stars Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.After a bumpy start in 2014-15 -- which ended with a meek first-round playoff exit against the New York Rangers -- the Penguins took off last December after Rutherford fired coach Mike Johnston and replaced him with Mike Sullivan.Youre not going to walk right in and figure that out, Rutherford said. After my first year here, I had a very good handle on how it works.Rutherford made a series of moves focused on depth and speed, bringing in forwards Phil Kessel, Nick Bonino, Carl Hagelin, Eric Fehr and Matt Cullen along with defenseman Trevor Daley. Over half of Pittsburghs goals during its run to the Stanley Cup (40 of 73) were scored by players acquired by Rutherford.I like to build with balance throughout the lineup, Rutherford said. Pressure is going to build on your star players, but ... if you can get those guys in your third and fourth lines winning games for you, youre well on your way to having a good team.Rutherford is the first general manager of the expansion era (post-1967) to lead multiple franchises to championships. He was in Carolina when the Hurricanes won their only Cup in 2006 but had moved to a different role when Pittsburgh reached out after firing Ray Shero in 2014. He declined to speculate on whether this latest deal will be his last. He will be 70 when it expires in 2019.When I stepped down in Carolina, I thought that was it, Rutherford said. Now its a few more years. For a lot of years people have asked me [how long] Im going to do this. Most of the guys that ask me, Ive outlasted them all.Pittsburgh was otherwise quiet during the opening day of free agency, signing forward Tom Sestito and defensemen Steve Oleksy and Stuart Percy to two-way contracts. The team also added defensemen Cameron Gaunce, Chad Ruhwedel and David Warsofsky.Two familiar faces, however, left the Penguins. Defenseman Ben Lovejoy signed with New Jersey, and backup goaltender Jeff Zatkoff agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Kings. Cullen, who just completed his 19th year by winning his second Cup, is considering coming back for another season. Stitched Nike NFL Jerseys . Following a lopsided 5-2 loss against the New Jersey Devils on Wednesday night, Paul MacLean told reporters that "theres a lack of focus, theres a lack of leadership and theres a lack of preparation" with his struggling team. That came on the heels of Bryan Murray taking the unusual step of going into the locker room at the Prudential Center and addressing the players himself. Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys Authentic . Here are his mid-season NBA awards. MVP: (KEVIN DURANT-Thunder) - Has been sensational this season and more importantly, the most consistent player in the league.

Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys . Supported by three-run homers from Jayson Werth and Wilson Ramos, the young right-hander went seven strong innings in the Washington Nationals 8-4 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Friday night. NEW ORLEANS -- Pelicans?star Anthony Davis?will be eased back into action in training camp and the preseason, but the team expects him to be ready for its regular-season opener on Oct. 26.Davis, 23, said he feels fine and is all in for practice and two-a-days after the first big medical procedure of his career, an ultrasonic debridement of his left knee in March. But Pelicans GM Dell Demps said the team is taking a long view with Davis recovery.Were going to be real smart with him during training camp, Demps said at Fridays media day. So if you come to practice or you see him not working out, our goal is to get him 100 percent ready for the start of the regular season. So were going to be monitoring his workload. We do expect him to be full go on opening night.Davis, a three-time All-Star, reiterated his commitment to New Orleans for the long term and to staying on the court after failing to reach 70 games played in each of his first four NBA seasons.This offseason was big just to get back on the floor, he said. Where some of our guys wanted to improve their games, mine was, Can I be ready for the first game. Im ready. From there, [it was about] withstanding an entire season without missing games. Stuff happens. You cant control what happens. But stuff that I can control, I want to control. I think our doctors and our trainers are doing a great job of getting me back to that point. I feel like I can withstand an 82-game season right now.Meanwhile, the Pelicans will not have Tyreke Evans and Quincy Pondexter for the start of the season. Demps said both former starters could be available as early as November, but returns in December or January are more realistic.Evans, 27, underwent three surgeries on his right knee in the span of nine months and revealed Friday that he also suffered a blood clot in his calf following the most recent procedure, an osteochondral autograft transfer system (OATS) procedure to replace cartilage in three areas of his knee in February.Evans said that though the clot was painful, he was given pills by doctors and it went away after two days. Evans said the issue wasnt a concern moving forward, and that he maintains a good relationship with the organization.When asked what the last hurdle in his recovery was, Evans said, Just getting my knee stronger. Im working out right now and Im able to put the ball on the flooor, moving pretty good.dddddddddddd A lot of people say they cant really tell that Im hurt, but I just know I need to get a little bit stronger. Thats just rehab with the trainers, getting my quad stronger.Pondexter, who missed all of last season after having two surgeries on his left knee, said theres no swelling and there have been no setbacks in his recovery, but Demps said the team has decided to take it a little bit slower moving forward.Its not like it was one little scope, or one little surgery. Its two major surgeries, Pondexter said. Its been 16 months, and it still has to get a lot stronger again for me to play or withstand an NBA season or game.Were working on it. Were using all our resources to make it better. Im really looking forward to stepping back on that court. I know Im probably going to bust out in tears, for sure.Pondexter, 27, has participated in some team workouts this offseason. When asked if Pondexter will ever play again, Demps said that hes betting on him returning.Its been a long, long journey, Pondexter said. Theres not a person thats attacked their situation or worked harder than me in this thing. I wish everyone knew how much Im working and Im dedicating my life to getting back on the court and playing for this team and this organization.Evans and Pondexter will not travel with the Pelicans to China for their two preseason Global Games matchups with the Houston Rockets. Demps said theyll receive better estimates for both players in two to four weeks.When asked if any of the recovering players had setbacks or additional procedures this offseason, Demps said, I think in any type of rehab, there are setbacks sometimes. There are situations where guys are going back and forth and getting there, and I think thats part of it. But nothing that I would say has not been anticipated.Point guard Jrue Holiday is expected to miss an undetermined portion of the start of the season to be with his wife, Lauren Holiday, who is expected to undergo surgery to remove a benign tumor from the right side of her brain, and care for their newborn daughter.New Orleans lost 351 games to injury and illness last season, the second most in the past decade, and finished 12th in the Western Conference at 30-52.
