This is not good at all, in my view. From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review’s Rob Rossi:
The Penguins and defenseman Sergei Gonchar aren’t close on a contract extension, and talks between general manager Ray Shero and agent JP Barry won’t resume until after the season.
Barry said Sunday he met with Shero in Vancouver, British Columbia, during the Olympics, and “offers that would be acceptable to us over two different terms” were provided to the Penguins.
“Ray explained ... they are not in a position to counter at this juncture,” Barry said. “We both agreed that it is again time to focus on the performance of the team. Sergei does not want his contractual status to be any kind of distraction as the team tries to defend the Cup.
