		OTTAWA (CP) - Ottawa defenceman Zdeno Chara might have one less game to play and be a little lighter in the wallet, but he has no regrets about his fight late in Friday night's game versus the Los Angeles Kings that resulted in his one-game suspension and a $10,000 fine to Senators coach Bryan Murray.
		Chara had no problems with the ruling and said he'd do it again if the same situation arose.
		What happens with me is people basically suggest that I called down the line to send Zdeno Chara to fight at the end of a game when you know there's a $10,000 (fine) and a game suspension.

		I do agree that Chara brings more to the game than just numbers and he has played more minutes and he is the leader of the Senators team but I think when it comes voting those 'extras' don't always get fully considered.
		Chara should have a better +/- because he plays on a better team but an objective analysis of the +/- statistics to attempt to factor out teammates puts McCabe and Chara on similar ground.
		Wade Redden and Zdeno Chara are both great defensmen, but for them to be 1-2 in the voting is kind of ridiculous.

		Chara isn't a thug, if it had been McGratton, then yes, but Chara is an elite player in the league, and if Gretzky is going to get the benefit of the doubt, then why not Murray who (and as a leaf fan pains me to say this) is a great coach.

		The news that the Toronto Maple Leafs are close to re-signing defenseman Bryan McCabe to a five-year, $28.75 million contract is creating predictable waves throughout the NHL and the rumor mill.
		McCabe isn't considered by most hockey experts to be in the same class as the aforementioned, yet his anticipated salary of $5.75 million per season means those players will seek considerably more than that, either from their current teams or from other clubs via this summer's unrestricted free agent market.
		Meanwhile, Ottawa Senators GM John Muckler was scheduled to meet with Wade Redden and agent Don Meehan in Toronto on Thursday to discuss a new contract.
