qwijibo Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) Meh he’s a 43 year old bottom pairing D at this point. Can’t blame the Bruins for cutting ties Edited December 30, 2020 by qwijibo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassbs Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 He said he wanted to sign with super young talented team. Isn’t Washington on the opposite end of that spectrum, unless it’s to team up with ovechkin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At 43 most players are young compared to him. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImConfused Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Did NOT see that one coming. Can you imagine if Lundqvist was playing - Ovi, Henrik and Chara on the same squad? Confusing.. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t blame the Bruins for cutting ties Over 21 minutes/game this year - was 2nd on the Bruins. And their lead penalty killer at over 3 minutes. 35.7% ozone starts was the lowest on their blueline. 2.0 on ice goals against at even strength per 60 - was outstanding for them (3.2 for). +26 in that context... Name him a "43 year old bottom pairing" all you want - but 795 k for those kind of objective outcomes - is extremely hard to beat/replace. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Damn - that Caps blueline.....is deep. Carlson Orlov Dillon Jensen Chara Schultz Seigenthaler Van Reimsdyk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-P Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Don't see how you can see this as anything but a steal for the caps. I can somehow see the bruins reasoning, but if they could have signed him one year at 800k to play on the third pairing or above, why didn't they? Seeems a bit strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EP Phone Home Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 That would unofficially make Patrice Bergeron the new captain of the Bruins. He’s already been the face of that team forever. Or they could give it to Pasta but Patrice has earned it. Anyways nice for Chara to join the great 8. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the physical aspect he brings. 43 or not, he could pummel most players in the league into a pulp if he wanted to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Heffy Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 Hopefully Ovi steps up and calls him out if he tries to pull any of the garbage he did in Boston. It will be a huge culture shock for him to play for a respectable team. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have wanted him to sign with Vancouver for a year but I guess travel restrictions between US and Canada might not have made that possible other problem with that is either the roadblock he'd pose to Juolevi - or Chara being expected to sign to accept a 4LHD role... as strictly a Benn replacement he's probably a no-brainer (and would fit within waived Benn cap) - but it's hard to imagine that as a relatively attractive option for him.

-Vintage Canuck- Posted December 30, 2020 Author Share Posted December 30, 2020 Does anyone know how much the average age went up by after this signing for the Capitals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
