“Of course everybody’s going to talk about Quinn. Quinn’s one of the best defencemen in the league if not the best, he was two seasons ago. Everybody knows what the situation is, but all we can ask of him and it’s exactly what he’s doing now. He came into camp in a great mood, he’s worked hard, he leads the team, he’s a good player.” Rutherford said.
He added, “Just focus on this season. We don’t have a deadline this season, and we know that people are going to talk about this over and over, it’s all part of sports, that’s ok, but at the same time he’s gotta stay focused with the team, lead the team, do what he’s capable of doing, and then we’ll see where it goes.”
