Penguins Sign (the Wrong) Aho

Related Topics: Kyle Dubas

The team has signed erstwhile Islanders fringe defenseman Sebastien Aho (not to be confused with the ‘Canes scoring star of the same name) to a two-year deal with an AAV of $775K, the team announced today.

The 28-year-old native of Umea, Sweden, is a left-handed shot who stands all of 5’10” and tips the scales at a less-than-robust 186 pounds. He can skate and move the puck, but isn’t physical (only 42 hits last season). Nor is he an especially accomplished shot blocker.

Gee, where have I heard that description before?

I’m being sarcastic, of course.
