Campbell signs with Chicago

Posted by Fluto Shinzawa, Globe Staff July 1, 2008 05:46 PM

Transaction: D Brian Campbell signs with Chicago, agreeing to an eight-year contract worth an annual $7.1 million.

Analysis: One of the biggest names is now off the market. Campbell, the premier puck-rushing defenseman available, is considered a one-man breakout who can energize a power play. If they had the required room under the cap, the Bruins would have made a push for Campbell, given their need for defensemen who can move the puck.
