The "Chara debacle"????
Chara was offered the same contract as Redden was, but did not even respond to the offer. Chara was seeking the Captaincy as he thought he deserved it over the current Captain at the time, and as the clock struck Midnight on June 30th,he signed with Boston.
Other than stripping the Current Captain (at the time) of the captaincy, the Senators offered Chara a fair offer.
He wanted things his way, and got what he wanted in Boston.
Fine, the Hossa debacle then! DEBACLE I SAY!
