2016 Summary: When Chris Pontius was signed, many fans (myself included) were wary of the signing. The Philadelphia Union after all had just signed a guy who had missed 51 games in the past three seasons to a contract worth $411,000 in Guaranteed Compensation.
It’s good to be proven wrong sometimes.
Pontius was by far the best player on the Philadelphia Union’s vaunted offense, leading the team with 12 goals, 66 shots, and 35 shots on goal.
