only if he picks #69

McChara!

Zdeno Chara’s new plant-based diet is paying off on the ice - The Boston Globe

A simple google search does wonders too! It’s just one aspect of being a pro that can rub off on developing players, I didn’t say it was the only one or even the most important .
Chara is known as a fitness freak, I don’t see how that influence could be harmful at all

Fitness freak good, vegan diet bad.

Blues Dunn got that cap space:

 

[cwede]

without even knowing Avery16 had posted above, i was going to post this
although it doesn't apply to NYR currently, i thought it interesting how convoluted LTIR can be

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I don’t know the source of the Chara rumors but why would he leave Boston?

We’re not legit contenders, moving from Boston to us is a clear downgrade for next year

The source is a Boston Bruins writer: Jimmy Murphy

…and hometown writers never posture about their own free agents, amirite?

Oh haha

I will say I wouldn’t be surprised if the Rangers had interest in him. Our front office just loves over the hill vets

I can’t see why Chara would be interested though

 

[TheDirtyH]

Didn't Gorton sign Chara in Boston or do I have the timeline mixed up>

You know, we all have our rightful digs at Brooksie, but we could have it so so so much worse.

Blues Dunn got that cap space:

Wonder if he retired sooner the Blues would have been able to keep Pietrangelo too.

 

[TominNC]

No thanks on Chara.

 

[NYRangers16]

Does the Lundqvist news affect our buyout hit?

 

[Avery16]

Woof:

 

[Avery16]

The specific concessions that Pietrangelo wanted with his contract are reportedly things that Armstrong just doesn’t believe in giving as a rule of business.

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

Does the Lundqvist news affect our buyout hit?

No, and I don't think anything would

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Does the Lundqvist news affect our buyout hit?

No. The buy out penalty is final.

 

[NYRangers16]

No, and I don't think anything would

If he goes on LTIR would that only affect the Caps? I also was pretty sure if he retired his buyout goes away. But I’m not an expert on these things.

edit: I stand corrected.

Jimmy’s right

These are Jimmy's training shoes. Before these Jimmy couldn't jump at all. Before these... Jimmy was like you. #Seinfeldshow

 

[kovazub94]

This thread needs more proselytizing, seriously fellas.

Show-off. I had to go and google "proselytize".

Don't count on proselytizing me to use this word in the future. : )

 

[Avery16]

I wonder if there’s a clause in Hank’s contract requiring him to pass a physical, and if DC can now void it.

 

[Avery16]

This is interesting:
