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. At 36-years-old the contract definitively counts under the 35+ rule, meaning even if Gonchar retires or is demoted he will count against the cap. This past season the veteran missed 20 games after missing all but [...]

The Pittsburgh Penguins traded a third-round pick to the Philadelphia Flyers for UFA defenseman Dan Hamhuis. We were bullish on his offensive side finding a new home but thought he would be stuck in a similar situation in Philly to his most recent with the Nashville Predators.

According to TSN’s Darren Dreger, Sergei Gonchar may be looking at the open market. At 36, the veteran defenseman seems unlikely to accept a decrease in salary after posting 50 points in 62 games.

As Kevin mentioned in his Gonchar injury post, Lubomir Visnovsky is only owned in 37% of Yahoo leagues, making him the 50th most owned defenceman in hockey. This is absolutely preposterous.
