Proposal: Zdeno Chara

[bruins4thecup65]

Do you like the thought of Z. Chara patrolling the back end?

What would you pay to get him.

He has a NTC so any trade would need to be approved.

I like the idea if it was 10 years ago

Don't see the Flames going after him. More like a team like Anaheim, or Pittsburgh.. If Boston trades him

Despite the Flames being a playoff bound team, we are still rebuilding. Is it logical to suggest that we are in a position to spend the necessary futures it would cost to land Chara? Why on earth would we move a top prospect and likely a 1st for a couple years of Chara? Furthermore, if the Bruins move Chara they are basically throwing in the towel on their season. Hamiliton is not quite ready to assume top pairing minutes either and the B's are still very much in a playoff hunt. So you are proposing they move their leader and backbone of their team..

It is horrendously foolish from either side and that is without even getting into the logistics of what it would cost.

 

[tmurfin]

No thanks.

Nailed it.

Lol no. Don't want a player who is on the decline.

I thought he was on the upswing?

As tempting as having the Chara Smash is, the price to aquire would make no sense for us. Wideman + Reinhart is highest I'd go.

 

[MuffinMerc]

A 4th.

 

[StreakingRed]

I see no reason for the Flames to make this move. Not to mention, the price to acquire him. No thanks.

Agreed SR, it's not the right time to make such a move.

 

[Raimu]

Since the knee injury his wheels are shot. Guys contract is way too long for how long he likely has left to play in this league. His skating isn't nearly what it used to be, and it's certainly not getting better.

Would be interesting to say the least

I would consider Dennis Wideman straight up, add a 4th or 5th if they're willing to eat 1-2 mil in cap hit (or maybe take on Stajan's contract which is about the same length, less cap hit). I think he'd be a very good fit beside Kris Russell, but his contract runs through to years where we need to re-up core pieces so I'm just not willing to give up a whole lot. I certainly wouldn't give up any D prospects.

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Um, I don’t see it happening.

I do like the Wideman + 4th offer, though.

 

[Skobel24]

I'd rather keep Wideman. Dennis is doing really well here, he fits Hartleys system. Chara has some question marks with the recent injury. Keep the guy who's doing well.
