Proposal: CAN RANGERS AND ISLES DEAL

[dumpin]

Would the Isles be willing to deal Chara to the Rangers? Chara is 44 yoa on an expiring contract. He still plays a tough game. The Rangers could use his experience on the blue line and his toughness/physicality. His current contract is less than a mil. If they can get together would a 4th rounder be enough, or would he cost a second?
How about a 3rd next yr and a B prospect.

Why is title in all Caps?

Nemeth to Chara is a lateral move. Why move assets for that?

 

[rangersfansince08]

We already have a pylon in nemeth.

 

[NYRKing]

Big time pass. Chara is cooked.

Maybe he intended for Isles, Rags, and Capitals three-way?

Because it involves Caps legend Chara

Nemeth FOR Chara is what NYR might consider

Chara for a 3rd and a prospect? Sold. No take backs.

 

[common12]

Chara is terrible and should of retired already. Rangers laugh and hang up the phone unless they can dump Nemeth on them.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Unless Nemeth is going the other way, absolutely not.

I really don’t think Chara is cooked, his first ten games were bad but since then he’s acclimated and I think he has value. Really pissed we aren’t good this year too because he’ll have even more freedom in the playoffs

First off I apologize for the all caps , lol. I beg for everyones forgiveness. I didnt review before posting,

On topic. He may be a traffic cone but thats ok if that traffic cone will clear the front of the net and put some people on their ass. Unlike someone who I wont name that wanders the ice and hasnt made a legit hit this year. I know its an "antiquated" stat but he still has a positive +/-. Even at 44 you cant compare Nemeth to Chara.

 

[ecemleafs]

no interest in chara. hes done.

Why would Isles want to add two more years @ $2.5M?

Big time pass. Chara is cooked.

Yeah would have taken a chance a few years back for his experience and decent playing ability but he can't keep up anymore.
Rather have Nemeth (althought he is under contract for two more years which isn't the greatest I guess)

I actually thought it was a superb pickup for the isles but he’s lost more than a step - at least the times I’ve watched him

Islanders also are forcing Chara into a top-4 role. He was a bottom-pairing defenseman in Washington and wasn’t a major liability.

Why would the Rangers want that giant fossil? He cannot crack our lineup. He would be way down our depth chart on the left side.

NO for all reasons others noted above, and NO again for dealing youth for not just age but excessive age.

Maybe Washington is involved?

I am not saying Chara is the future or even near future but he could be a playoff bridge that could contribute as a third pair D. Basically a playoff rental. His playoff experience, toughness could help settle down an otherwise very young D. Financially he would be almost free. I wouldnt give up a lot for him but after watching him play for the Isles he could bump anyone we have as #6 right now. We all know the playoffs demand a different brand of hockey.

FWIW, focusing specifically on the "can they deal" part, I suspect Lou would trade vets to the best situation for them even if it were a big rival.

Nemeth and a 7th for Chara. And the 7th is strictly you when you realize he’s got multiple years left on his deal.
