B’s extend Kobasew after career year
May 14, 2008
BOSTON — A career year for Bruins forward Chuck Kobasew has been rewarded. The Boston Bruins signed the Osoyoos, B.C. native to a multi-year contract extension. Terms of the deal were not disclosed, as per club policy.
Kobasew had career highs in goals (22), assists (17) and points (39) in 73 regular-season games. His 22 goals were the second best on the team, and 39 points ranked fourth overall.
Seeing action on both the power play and penalty kill, Kobasew led the Bruins in shorthanded tallies with three and his six power-play strikes were the fourth most on the squad.
Selected by the Calgary Flames with the 14th overall pick in the 2001 draft, Kobasew was traded from Calgary to Boston on February 10, 2007 along with Andrew Ference in exchange for Brad Stuart and Wayne Primeau. He played in 10 games for Boston during the 2006-2007 campaign and notched one goal and one assist.
In his five-year NHL career, Kobasew has recorded 55-57-112 totals in 293 regular season games (83 with Boston, 210 with Calgary). He also saw action in 33 postseason contests with Calgary where he registered one goal and one assist.
The 26-year-old played one season for Boston College and helped lead the Eagles to the 2000-2001 NCAA National Championship.
