Confirmed Signing with Link: [WSH] Capitals sign Zdeno Chara (1 year, $795k + $730k in Performance Bonuses)

[HTFN]

Caps using the twilight of careers to beef up their technically-alumni roster in main boards threads.

we are Edmonton East.

a sycophantic Old Boys Club front office running the franchise into the ground and an owner that doesn't give a s**t as long as he makes money

Chara in a Caps jersey is going to look so wrong

Chara says goodbye to Boston on IG

 

[LeafChief]

Weird that there's been nothing from Dreger, Mckenzie, Lebrun. Friedman or Chris Johnston on this yet.

Potentially not true?

Edit: Nevermind - just saw the post above me.

 

[Man Bear Pig]

....what?

WASHINGTON SIGNED CHARA

 

[tenken00]

Sign Jagr next

Haha no

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

This is confirmed

 

[compan]

How many games is Washington playing against Boston this year ? That will be interesting

Tom Wilson is going to be ok another level with Chara backing him up

If there were fans in the audience, Chara would receive a resounding standing ovation. I’m sure it won’t be interesting from a bad blood standpoint with the team either.

 

[LeafChief]

Washington and Boston are in the same division this year, yes?

 

[Gnome17]

Congratulations to Patrice Bergeron, you just became the captain of the Boston Bruins.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Anyone know cap hit?

 

[Carlzner]

Wilson/Chara/Dillon/Hathaway/Ovechkin

murderers row in today’s NHL

 

[Del Preston]

Congrats to @Flameshomer on being the first poster in years to beat @MMC to a player transaction.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Based on the postseason I thought it was time for Boston to move on from Chara, sounds like they agreed.

 

[SI90]

Washington and Boston are in the same division this year, yes?

They will play 8 times I believe

 

[sepHF]

shocking

 

[Drew311]

Fantastic. We’ll see if guys like Marchand and McAvoy still play 10 feet tall without that giant backing them up.

 

[ESH]

Why didn’t the Bruins resign him

 

[Darren McCord]

So :

Dillon-Carlson
Orlov-Jensen
Chara-Schultz

?

that third pairing is so slow and would get Eatin alive

 

[Jee]

The Hockey News is a source now?

guess it is now

 

[Thirty Seven]

Thanks big guy, however I do think it was time to move on.

Hopefully he does well in Washington!

 

[LeafChief]

They will play 8 times I believe

That'll be interesting.

Wilson in general with the backing of Chara will be interesting.
