Anyone with access to the Athletic can read the article on Chara's upcoming 1000th game as a Bruin. it was just posted today.
The article starts stating Chara told the Bruins he would only sign if he was made captain. I find that pretty interesting.
I clearly recall a story back in the day where Jason York said the Chara / Sens negotiation went like this
Chara: i want to be captain
Sens: Daniel Alfredsson is our captain
And that was the end of negotiations. Chia Pet left for Boston with the knowledge of the Ottawa negotiations and well...the rest is history
I find it interesting. I vividly recall York making that claim and I've never seen anything that would corroborate the claim but this Athletic article certainly lends credence to York's version of events.
