Hard to believe Chara is signing for 700,000 to play in Edmonton. I have as much chance playing for the Oilers this season as Chara.

Hoffman wants 5.5-6.5 on a 1 year deal. He made it clear he would take less term but wants the same amount of money.

Get real Chara isn't taking anything less then $1 million to play anywhere probably 1 x $1.5 mil and Hoffman wants 1 year $6.5 million and Detroit declines no use for Chiasson.

It won't be for $700k, but Chara in Edmonton isn't as far-fetched as you might think. His agent said he was looking at all offers, and because he has a small family with the pandemic on he's going to be choosing his destination carefully. Edmonton has probably the lowest COVID rate among NHL cities.
