I'm for it.

 

[Bruinfanatic]

I’m good with that.

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Excellent news

 

[Alicat]

Love it

Official Tweet. It was inevitable, but great to see, nonetheless.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

awesome. keep that same deal on the table every April.

He's still playing at a 1/2 level and with all the young guys coming up there isnt a better mentor.

 

[bruins repeat time]

I am happy with this . Originally I was for resigning Rick Nash as well but after Donato showing what he has plus Debrusk, heinen showing so well with more on the way I think I would gamble by letting him walk even though I think he is pretty important to D.K

 

[nazartp]

All for it. Good term, good money.

 

[13Hockey]

Not a fan of the deal

Would have preferred a 2 or 3 year deal

 

[Gordon Lightfoot]

Awesome

 

[Fenian24]

Excellent news. when it is all said and done Z will be up there with the all time great Bruin Defensemen. Below Orr, Shore, Park and Bourque but at the head of the next tier. Hopefully he retires a Bruin.

 

[TorontLoL 67]

Year to year is perfect. Big Z gonna retire in style, as a Bruin.

 

[Mainehockey33]

I was hoping for a Recchi like deal but $5M is still good value for what Chara brings, great deal.

 

[BadBruins]

Perfect term and price. I was honestly expecting 6M+ on a 1 year deal given his season this far.

Not a fan of the deal

Would have preferred a 2 or 3 year deal

He's not going anywhere

 

[Chief Nine]

Once again, great management by Don Sweeney. He is killing it this year.

 

[Gee Wally]

Good deal for both parties.

 

[LouJersey]

So basically it's 6.75?

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Perfect term and price. I was honestly expecting 6M+ on a 1 year deal given his season this far.

He probably is getting 6M+, that's what the incentives probably are. Games played bonus, etc. which is fine by me.

Among Bruins defensemen all time, he's 3rd in games played, third in goals, 4th in assists (3 back of Park), 3rd in points, 6th in +/-, 4th in GWG, it's been an absolute pleasure watching him for the past decade.

Nice job. Maybe he only wants to play one more year.

 

[kdog82]

Great news!!

 

[Scotto74]

love it. year to year until he is ready to retire. win for both sides.

 

[Lobster57]

Nice job. Maybe he only wants to play one more year.

it's not like they can't do this again in a year if he wants to keep playing

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Awesome !!!!
