Makes no sense.
We would just be wasting three young assets for the right to waste the last years of Chara's career.

whether he is or isn't... clearly you aren't a qualified judge.
those who are disagree with you

finally a sign of intelligence from the other side of the fence... and you are correct we definitely have no problem keeping him

And we have to give them a first round pick for him too, if we make the playoffs?
I'd almost think they'd want to unload him as a cap dump if they're gonna get rid of him?
I'm not really sure if Chara is any good or not anymore, I'm assuming that he's not that bad though. At least not just yet.

Do you think you would win the Cup in the next two years with Chara? Or with any other defenseman in the league? I didn't think so.

Even as bad as the Bruins defense is, they aren't making their defense worse unless it's near the deadline and they are numerically out of it. I'd like to say obviously out of it, but I think they'd still push for the playoffs.

That's very noble of you to want to trade for the literal best defenseman in the league (Chara in 2010)
Maybe we can find a time machine and give them Bobby Orr and Ray Bourque in their primes too.

Chara is a shell of his former self. I'd trade Merrill and a 2nd that's it's. If ya don't like it that's cool we'll look somewhere else.

What did this have to do with anything I posted?
Chara isn't a 1D. Plenty of people would agree with me. Just because he was used as one on a pretty piss poor defensively Bruins squad, doesn't make him one.
Chara's still a 1st pairing D-man, maybe not a #1 anymore but very much still capable of playing at least #2 duties. Just not good enough to carry someone else as well, and since the Bruins don't have a RHD better than a #5, he sometimes looks worse than he is.
Of course, if Chara were to be traded, which isn't gonna happen, it wouldn't make much sense for NJ to be interested. But Boston wouldn't take that deal either, nothing really appealing there except I guess the first round pick, but that's conditional too.

No. I firmly believe the Devils will be fine without Larsson. This giant, massive "hole" in the defense. I think people need to put the bottle down. If the Devils can have a top 10 defense with Peter freaking Harrold, then why should I worry about Lovejoy/Santini, Auvitu, Jacobs, Mozik.
Better start looking.
Wouldn't even trade Merrill for Chara
And Boston is in bad shape, they ought to ship him off while they still can; just not to NJ

What nobody has mentioned to this point is that a futures based deal for an established player taking place between 2 teams that will be duking it out for the same wild card spot makes less than zero sense for the team giving up the established player.
Even if it is fair value in terms of assets (not sure it is), there is no way the Bruins do this.
I'm not sure it makes NJ a playoff team, but it definitely takes Boston out of playoff contention.
