Chara signs five-year deal with Bruins

Quote:

Zdeno Chara's days with Ottawa Senators are over, as the giant defenceman signed a five-year deal with the Boston Bruins worth $7.5 million US a season.

The contract includes a no-trade clause. Chara elected to test the market as an unrestricted free agent after rejecting the Senators' last contract offer on Friday. The Senators locked up defenceman Wade Redden with a two-year $13 million US deal just a day earlier.

Chara enjoyed a career year in 2005-2006, posting career highs in goals (16) and points (43). In 2003-04, he was a First-Team All Star scoring 41 points and was a Norris Trophy finalist.

More to follow.

Depressed Angry2 Show some class Z for your old team!!!! Don't play in their confrence!!! Grr... Chara just made me mad. But nothing will replace all the memories he gave me.

Game 6 of the 2004 Eastren Confrence Quarter Finals... scored to force OT and then 2nd OT. Fisher scored the winner... I was there and will always remember that goal.

Best of luck in Boston Big Guy. (I think a cowboy should be placed here) Cowboy2

This is not a good contract for the bruins, he took only .1 less than lidstrom. and its not like lidstrom took a hometown discount for the red wings.

What's going on with Boston??? They are on FIRE!!! Man, Chara and Savard will transform the team. Add Bergeron and you have 3 stars in the team.
