Hope Chara does it the Recchi way and signs for one million. Gives the Bruins some flexibility and with 42 years of age playing shouldnt be about the money, more about winning one more cup.
Can’t he do that as a coach? Not that he would agree to it.Keep him to team and teach the next young defensman

I have 2 questions:By all accounts, the man is notoriously cheap and concerned with money. I wouldn't expect him to accept anything much less than what another team would offer.
The thread is about Chara.I have 2 questions:
Are you talking about Chara?
And what accounts?
Excuse me what?Post season play typically slows down and is much more tight than regular. Z will dominate.
The thread is about Chara.
“By all accounts” is an expression meaning according to reports.
I can't quote a specific source but I've seen it mentioned that he's tight with the wallet. Not one to buy a round of drinks. Cheap may be too strong. I'm sure he'd prefer "thrifty".English is not my first language, but I know all that. Thanks anyway, no offense.
Then, I repeat my question, where do these reports come from?
I'm a bit surprised to hear such a thing about Chara.

didn't Cassidy quote that they had a cake waiting for Chara (bday) and he assumed Chara won't have any lol
maybe in regards to buying a round of drinks, he doesnt....because he doesn't drink? (guess)
I'm sure he would prefer "thrifty" but cmon now lol
1. Yes

Chara's financial planning degree stamped an exclamation point on a cash-aware lifestyle that has provided endless material for his teammates. The vehicle of choice for veteran players is a luxury SUV, but according to one of his teammates, Chara keeps a Honda sedan in Sarasota, Fla., where he owns one of his offseason homes. In 2006, when the Bruins exchanged gag Christmas gifts, Chara received a wallet with a padlock holding it shut.
that's called being smart with your money, not being cheap. basically there's no chance he ends up like Antoine Walker going bankrupt after making $150 million
and the gift was clearly ball busting...hence it being a GAG gift
I remember reading a Fluto article years ago where he wrote that Chara allows himself one drink per year. Hell have a glass of Japanese plumb wine after his mock Tour de France (sp?) trip.
Though he evidently made an exception after winning the cup.
It must be a Honda sedan with the seat out and Z sitting on the floor. That or he drives around with his head through the sunroof.1. Yes
