Fixed it for you.
I believe most of us could stand it if he went to the Leafs but there would be bloodshed if he signed with the Main Enemy.

Imagine Chara winning a playoff series with the Leafs.
No I haven't forgotten. If Z's that toasted physically it shouldn't be that difficult for a younger, stronger & faster defenseman to beat him out for a spot, even though lacking in overall talent.

Why would a new coach influence his decision? He thrived here under Cassidy. Unless he had a prior connection to Monty.

IIRC when Z left, it was because Bruce made the call that Z would play a reduced role and not top line minutes with Charlie. So maybe some resentment there.
And the coach made the right call. Z's performance has declined since his Boston years.

This, Z felt that he was capable of top minutes but the coach felt that he needed sheltered minutes.
This was also during his boston years.
"We had certainly offered a contract to Zdeno months ago and he indicated he wanted time to continue to work through, again, where he felt he was at, where the League was at in the Return to Play protocols and what the role we were describing and hoping to integrate him into with our hockey club as we saw it and our internal plans and discussions were moving forward," Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said Thursday. "Make no mistake about it, that did include looking to integrate some of the younger players that have had an opportunity to develop in our system and us trying to see whether or not they were capable of handling minutes and situations that they had not been exposed to.

Still owns a double unit on Union Wharf and a recent purchase of a home in Weston. Could some kind of Bs role be far off?
I certainly hope so.
I'd LOVE IT if Z succeeded Sweeney and bumped Neely out the door as well.
Do you realize how maniacally dedicated to the pursuit of excellence this man is? I believe he would make a great GM.
for the Islanders not DN..... IT WAS Ottawa that made that mistake of letting him come here..... why did Chara start and end his career on the Island
I hear he is notoriously frugal,probably something Jacobs wold embrace.
