Chara became exactly who everyone knew he was going to be. The only people who didn't were the fools overreacting to a bad playoff. They accused him of being some mercenary who just wanted to cash in as a UFA.
It was plain as day who Zdeno Chara was when he signed with Boston, and Ottawa is about to have to watch another defenseman make the Hall of Fame and win a championship in a different sweater because the common thread here is Melnyk.
