So much depends on if Chara can continue to be in the top 5 best D-man in the league at age 36. (best d-man in the playoffs).
If Chiarelli can keep the Bruins at the top over this next couple of years he becomes one of the best GMs of all time.
Has made all good moves since he took over in 2006 BUT incredibly lucky that it was Savard that got knocked out of the game and not Chara.
Of all the big UFA signings Chara for 37.5M 5 years in 2006 is the clear winner.
It set up GMs all thinking they could do the the same Sutter tried it twice: Once with Phanuef and once with Bouwmeester.
Feaster attempted it with Richards.
Compare Letang (58M /8 years) to Chara.... They were on the ice for 4 playoff games for a direct comparison.
