Sergei Gonchar Ends Ties with Pittsburgh

Today, the Ottawa Senators signed free agent defenseman to a three-year deal with a 5.5 million annual cap hit.

Draft Review:  Sens Re-Unite Karlsson and Rundblad

The Ottawa Senators aggressively traded their first round pick and 16th overall selection in exchange for Swedish defensive prospect David Rundblad.
