Wouldn’t playing for the Canucks near his off season home in Prince George not be a decent fit

I mean, you could sign Hughes and Pettersson, or you could just fill up whatever cap we have left, with over the hill players that are on their way out of the league. Tough choice.

 

[RussianRacket]

I like Chara a lot. No thanks.

 

[cc]

maybe talk about that after signing the RFAs first. If there was cap left over, I actually wouldn't mind signing him.

Chara has a off season home in PG didn't see that interesting. As per seeing him in Vancouver sorry only as an opponent for me.

 

[ziploc]

Only if we move Myers!

 

[Get North]

Casuals might get mad, but I think the Sedins respect him after playing head to head for 7 games and being in the league for so long. Chara would be a mentor worth having and the most intimidating player on the roster.

 

[rypper]

I don't think the casuals really care about Chara, the same way they might if the team brought in Keith, Marchand, etc. Chara was less an enemy and more a respected foe, kind of like how Iginla was.

 

[Mr. Canucklehead]

Wouldn’t be opposed to him as a cheap option, but unless someone else is moved out (popular choice would be Myers), there’s not really any room.

 

[Petey But Really Jim]

If the guy would play for the Thornton contract, there is not a team in the league that wouldn’t be better for having him. That being said, maybe he isn’t willing to do that and remains unsigned for that reason.

 

[rypper]

Nothing to do with signing him, but you guys remember when Chara accidently revealed he's into bdsm?

We had our Chara.... JB tried to screw him over.. so he left back to Russia...

 

[Javaman]

F to the U to the C to the K to the NO!

 

[Ottobot]

Probably have to pay him double what a guy like Schenn is getting for… how much of a difference at this point really? He’s still better but looking at it, the 6/7 role is filled and there isn’t money lying around for another one.

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Short answer: No.

Long answer: Nooooooooooooooooo.

 

[Petey O]

He would probably be our best defensive d-man.

Tryamkin-Chara let's go

 

[EpochLink]

Oooof Chara is not the Chara of 10-15 years ago.
2004-2014 was as good as it got for Chara.

 

[F A N]

Chara is between a defensive liability to he’s not. Still a dominant fighter though.

I don’t see the fit. He’s a left side D so trading Myers isn’t really relevant. Curiously though the Canucks did offer Edler a contract so perhaps someone like Hughes or Rathbone can move to the right side?

 

[DFAC]

Hell no

 

[Cogburn]

750k a season? Sure. He won't sign that though.

His off season home is in PG?

Maybe he likes hunting bears with his bare hands to keep himself in shape?

For what? Leadership? Give me a f***ing break.
