Mike Rupp is Cash Money

When Mike Rupp signed his 1.65M/2yr deal with the Pittsburgh Penguins this past off season GM Ray Shero thought he was bringing in a 4th line forward with a solid physical presence.  He surely got that.  What he didn’t bank on was that once the shackles of New Jersey’s trap were removed from Rupp’s wrists, [...]
