Questionable source... I will wait and see who else reports this, to see if it is true first.

They are a decent source. Sharks are gonna have a tough time signing Marleau then. I heard Gonchar was asking for at least 6 mil.

Nooooooo lol they're as bad as hockeybuzz

Meh. I haven't read it on a Pens site or anything like that

I'm beginning to think that the Pens won't be re-signing Gonchar but I don't believe this rumor is true. The Sharks are in no position to negotiate with yet another higher profile FA. They're too busy trying to re-sign their own RFA's.

hockeybuzz isn't bad, its Eklund that's bad

The Bleacher Report and NHLSourcesSay are saying its done...

I'll wait til something I actually respect says something about it

Gonchar wants more than 2 years and from what I read, the offer was 2 years, $11M.

Around this date every offseason, I feel compelled to warn dear readers that a significant amount of misinformation will find its way onto various Internet sites between now and July 1. I am not one of these Newspaper Guys who believes every website and/or blog can be discredited. Many are informative and right more often than they are wrong. An example in Pittsburgh is www.insidepittsburghsports.com, which has grown into a site that now features many of my accredited media colleagues. I'm not going to knock any specific sites, but please know that some run with wild rumors that have all but discredited them with those of us in the hockey media community who make it our job to stay in touch with team personnel and agents. Personally, I'm a fan of the reach websites provide, especially since many can do what I can't — entertain. They've not always loved me at www.thepensblog.com, but I've always enjoyed reading their creative spin on the club I cover.

I'd respectfully hope dear readers check this blog and the Trib's web site for Pens news, as we break it more than we don't. You could first read about LW Matt Cooke's new contract at www.triblive.com around 7 a.m. on Tuesday, and if I can find enough sources to run with something I'll either post breaking news on the site or update the blog, pending the information's significance. Contrary to what some Penguins fans might think, I've never printed a rumor. I've been wrong, and when I've been wrong I've had several people misinforming me — not one, several. Readers should feel comfortable accepting terms I've given to my parents regarding Penguins news: When I am confident I know something, so will you.

Something to remember is that I won't deny every rumor from other sites, but there is a report about D Sergei Gonchar that I can confirm isn't true as of Wednesday morning. Here is the report:http://bleacherreport.com/articles/410069-sergei-gonchar-traded-to-san-jose

There will be a lot of rumors regarding Gonchar. When I finally hit the sheets early Wednesday morning in Las Vegas, I believed he was closer to re-signing than leaving. That feeling was based off conversations with his camp, and that feeling could change within an hour. That is how this contract reporting works.

Keeping reading, and thanks for doing so.

Yeah...
