Chelios signed a one-year contract worth $750,000 on September 9th, 2008. Because the NHLPA had not announced that they had opted to extend the current CBA beyond 2009 (when it was originally set to expire) Chelios is not eligible for performance-based bonuses. He will be an unrestricted free agent on July 1st, 2009.
Scouting Report

Scouting Report

ASSETS: Has been one of the toughest defensemen to beat one-on-one throughout his career. Always plays a smart game in the defensive zone and is terrific in transition. Is still nasty but has learned to pick his spots.

FLAWS: Can no longer supply his club with quality offensive production or huge amounts of ice time. Has definitely lost a step over time.

CAREER POTENTIAL: Top-six defenseman.
