via TSN,
Zdeno Chara’s days with Ottawa Senators are over, as the giant defenceman signed with the Boston Bruins.
update 3:03pm, By the way, Fan 590 just had another update, NO MENTION OF CHARA!!!
Well, I guess we can put it this way, they only missed by about 3000 miles. But very poor journalism by not correcting their mistake.
update 3:08pm, Now Fan 590 reports Chara to Boston at $7.5 million for five years.
added 3:55pm, Bruins press release on Chara…

Fan 590 reporting Sporsnet is saying Chara is a LA King.
added 2:27pm, still waiting for a verification link from Sportsnet. But I heard it myself at their last update….
added 2:42pm, Fan 590 just had their sports udpate, now saying “paper work not completed so you can scratch that one for now”.
added 2:49pm, They are now back to WC soccer talk. Do you think they would explain this a little more?

Signing An RFA

I have had some emails asking what the compensation is for signing Group 2 FAs.
Directly from the NHL
FREE AGENTS SUBJECT TO COMPENSATION AND RIGHT TO MATCH - GROUP 2
Players who have been tendered a qualifying offer by their respective Clubs and are subject to draft-choice compensation and right to match. The draft choice compensation scale is based on compensation offered by the new Club:
OFFER COMPENSATION
$660,000 or below None
Over $660,000 to $1 million Third-round choice
Over $1 million to $2.0 million Second-round choice
Over $2.0 million to $3.0 million First-round and third-round choice
Over $3.0 million to $4.0 million First-round, second-round and third-round choice
Over $4.0 million to $5.0 million Two first-round choices, one second- and one third-round choice
Over $5 million Four first-round choices
Instead of listing the Group 2 FAs, just go to the TSN Free Agent List I mentioned in an earlier post. I am sure they will be updating as players sign.
