The Pittsburgh Penguins signed 41 year old Sergei Gonchar to a PTO (professional try out) contract, raising eyebrows around the fan-base. The team has mentioned wanting to play the younger defensemen, and they let Gonchar go 5 years ago because he was too old. Now, he's not?
So we decided to dig into Gonchar's performance recently by the SB Nation blogs that have seen him play. We looked at results from the past 2 seasons.
