In the rash of signings last week, one player is standing out as a low-key potential contributor to the Penguins that most might not realize at the moment. Whenever Sebastian Aho’s name is mentioned, the obligatory “harf harf harf - not that Sebastian Aho” is the follow on. It might not be for much longer.
Of course, it’s not like the other Sebastian Aho is going to be a 35+ goal, 90-point first line player like the center in Carolina. However, the defender Aho might play a bigger part for the Penguins than is realized.
Aho, 28, has been in the NHL with the Islanders for the last full three seasons.
