from Jonathan Bombulie of the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review,

As players cleaned out their lockers two days after their three-peat bid ended with a Game 6 loss to the Washington Capitals in the second round of the playoffs, Rutherford said Wednesday that his team's roster will look different in the fall.

“I think it's obvious that I'm going to keep an open mind to making some changes, and I will make some changes,” Rutherford said. “I can't give you a definite answer on who that's going to be right now and exactly the positions, but we're a good team, and we will be a good team going forward. We'll have a chance to win again. We have the nucleus to do that.”...

“We also have the pieces in place that are players that other teams are going to want, that we're going to be able to make those changes,” Rutherford said. “Sometimes you don't always have those players for cap reasons or for different reasons. I think it's fair to say this will be a different-looking team by the time we open next season. It doesn't mean there's going to be drastic changes or a lot of changes, but there will be changes in areas that will become necessary.”
