Bondra to Chicago

The Chicago Blackhawks have announced the signing of Peter Bondra. Financial details are not known at this time.

Latrappe's take: It remain to be seen if this signing will make the impact that the Blackhawks hopes. Bondra is a good player but does he have enough hockey in him to make the difference in Chicago? Only time will tell.

Matt's take: The Bruins made a pitch to him, but he decided to go to Chicago. The Bruins are still after another player I am hearing. The money is what I am interested in hearing. My guess is around 750k plus incentives, which was around what he was demanding. Good signing by Chicago, but I don't think it will really help them make the playoffs. Unless their goaltending stands up for the rest of the season, it'll be a long season for Hawk fans.
