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.
