Sucks to see him go, but best of luck to him and lets hope Shero can find a replacement.

So, NTC. Ottawa.
Do we start the countdown to him asking for a trade?

Ottawa has been looking for an Elite offensive powerplay quarterback who can still play defence for years - basically since the strange and sudden decline of Wade Redden.
If Gonchar is healthy, he’ll fit the bill - and hopefully will also serve as a mentor for guys like Erik Karlsson and the recently acquired David Rundblad.
Wouldn’t be surprised if Filip Kuba or Chris Campoli are shopped actively now.
