Proposal: Chara to Canucks

[Petey But Really Jim]

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

Zdeno Chara could retire for 10 years and still be better than Tryamkin ever is.

And I am definitely not defending Benning!

 

[lawrence]

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

pg? Really ? Source?

 

[JAK]

$1.125m, buriable cap hit, NTC.

Not my money, let's burn FAQ's money.

Plus, i'm sure there are Bruins fans in BC that wouldn't mind buying his jersey

Tryamkin should not be in the same sentence as Chara.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

For like a million or less, sure why not

 

[Nucker101]

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

lmao wtf

 

[sting101]

Maybe bring him to camp on a PTO so Juolevi can say he beat a Hall of Famer in skating drills and then cut his ass

You literally just used them in the same sentence...

Tryamkin. Easily the most overrated canuck in team history. Also this thread is one of the worst in HF history

I think I’d like to see it. I personally enjoy the fact that Mats Sundin is stained in the eyes of Leafs fans because he played for Vancouver. Why not smear another icon for a different group of __________?(Just fill in whichever infraction worthy phrasing necessary)

Nvm.

 

[wonton15]

Near league minimum as normally a healthy scratch? Sure. But we have Luke Schenn who is most likely better at this point in their careers. And we can't waste any more cap before Petey and Hughes.

 

[Javaman]

Just googled that. There ya go hey.

VPN for the win!

 

[beachcomber]

He doesn’t live in PG. lol.

Chara at 44 is better than peak Tryamkin

 

[elitepete]

No thanks. Washed and an LD.

 

[Paulinbc]

Chara lives in Prince f***ing George?

 

[rypper]

He played junior in PG but man... I don't think he lives there in the off season.

 

[VanJack]

A 44-year old d-man who shoots from the left side.....who is going to replace on the Canucks blueline? Jack Rathbone? OEL?

I know the Canucks are desperate for a blueline upgrade.....but surely they aren't that desperate.

 

[mriswith]

I'd sign him for the Abbotsford Canucks.

Actual team hell no.

Comments like these suggest that you don't realize how much Chara has declined. In specific situations, Chara's size, positioning, and reach could still make him a capable defender but practicing against Petey, Hoglander, and Garland might make him seriously think about retiring.

Their comments have nothing to do with the ability of either player.

Even so. Still better than Tryamkin, ever.

That's just ridiculous. Chara retired for 10 years at 55+ years of age is not going to be better than Tryamkin at his best.
