As a Habs fan yes he’s not a very good NHLer but can fill in for a couple games I guess. Sounds like a great locker room guy and mentor so as an AHL signing I don’t see why anyone should complain

Funny how Chara going to the Caps today revives a dead rumor that has not been discussed in 71 days

Post #177 dated Oct 21st was the last on this - the next post is today, lmao.


Any news on the Leafs interest in Lecavalier deal from 2013? There still is a chance...

Wait are you telling me the Capitals basically just traded Karl Alzner for Zdeno Chara?

This better not happen or we need someone to dispose of the magic man Sweeney and his iĺlustrious cohort Neely.

Why is this active again? Haggerty is a hack to begin with. Aside from that, the original tweet is over 2 months old. Lock this garbage up.

I've been sarcastically joking about Karl Alzner since the trade deadline. I'm actually laughing because it's such a Bruins move. Acquire guy in his 30's who sucks.

He is much better in a system that plays to his strength...Montreal wasn’t that place

Like many guys...he got a contract he couldn’t live up to

At minimum contract and on the correct team I expect he can help someone

I don’t feel boston will be that place since we got 8 guys already and a couple kids beyond that ready for a taste

If Alzner and Chara were in a foot-race, you would need time-lapse photography to track their progress.
I get your point, but Chara could be slightly slower and still reach the puck first lol.

Chara over Alzner easy

I’m seriously confused over leaving Chara. I get looking at him in a vacuum... but their overall situation, and who’s available?

If a defenseman can't thrive in Claude's system, they likely are not an NHL defenseman.

History is full of guys that suck on 1 team then ok on next

Players are people...people sometimes suffer for various reasons in difficult environments

Anyhow his old contract made him poison...he will have a better contract now wherever he ends up

Fair but Cassidy and Julien have their team play very similarly in the D zone.
