Rutherford still mum on Laviolette's future

Rachel Carter, Staff Writer Comment on this story

Carolina Hurricanes general manager Jim Rutherford hasn't made a decision on the future of coach Peter Laviolette.

"Everything's the same as it's been," said Rutherford, who was in Detroit last week to meet with Canes owner Peter Karmanos.

Rutherford said he'll soon start working on signing the Canes' restricted free agents -- like Tim Gleason.

This quiet period for the Canes is bittersweet for Rutherford, who is getting extra time to spend with his 6-week-old son.

"It still gives you that bad feeling when you watch the games to know that you could have been one of the teams still playing," Rutherford said.
