I'm taking this one with a huge grain of salt, but given we're starved for any kind of content right now, it's worth the conversation, even if the source doesn't have a stellar track record.

I mean, it would always make more sense to include that Keator is Kreider's agent, who NY recently worked out a deal with. That would at least give some juice to the story.

[Phil]

There's also a connection to Gorton, who was responsible for initially signing Chara in Boston.

[Lord Al]

This one makes a lot of sense in many ways. First an experienced defenseman with size ,Leader ship skills to help the young kids on the D .Has kept himself in excellent shape And at his age is still one of the top fighters in the NHL

Is he going to work for free or close to it at this point in his career?

Probably.

 

This would be a curveball for the ages.

[Scott]

Got that right.

 

I don't see it ever happening under any circumstances. Does this guy have any credibility at all other than he owns a twitter account?

[Keirik]

And he’d join the rangers why? With all the teams out there closer to the cup for a 62 year old, why would he choose us at legit league minimum?

[Pete]

Close to Boston.

 

But otherwise don't believe this. He hates New York, had a chance here before and went to Boston instead,

[jsm7302]

Are we now in the same division as Boston? That would be quite bizarre.

[4EverRangerFrank]

Man I hope not. Not even for free. I?ve given a friend of mine who?s a B fan so much crap over the years about this guy pushing a walker on the ice...if he become a NYR my friend would razz me mercilessly. No geriatrics. Just say no.

Zdeno Chara and Jack Johnson together on the ice in a Rangers jersey would literally make me cry, laugh and vomit in the same moment.

I'd rather give the young guns a chance to develop. I'll pass on Chara. I would also think he would want to play for a team that's going to seriously contend for the Cup. I don't think we're ready just yet....we'll get there, but not yet.

It could be a good competition of how finishes with the worst plus/minus rating. Chara would have been nice to get maybe a few years ago, but definitely not now. Plus, he never seemed to enthused with playing here. Perhaps his experience with the Islanders soured him on New York.

[Blue Heaven]

:confused:

[josh]

Is he willing to fight non-stop every game if someone touches our boys?

[Scott]

I'll go out on a limb here and say no, no he's not interested in fighting much at this point in his career.

then, as Phil would post

I feel like I remember him preferring Florida life if it weren’t Boston but I could be wrong.

[Bugg]

When has getting that old guy defenseman worked out here? Sounds like a Phil Esposito type move. Besides unless he's working for peanuts, which won't happen.

[RangersIn7]

And he?d join the rangers why? With all the teams out there closer to the cup for a 62 year old, why would he choose us at legit league minimum?

 

I believe he?s 137 years old... which is the same age Joe Louis was when he fought Marciano.

 

I have proof.

Chara was +26 last season which was tops on the Bruins.

In the last 5 years he?s led Boston in plus/minus I?m pretty sure

With the start of camp now set(NHLPA vote) I’d expect a Zdeno Chara decision sometime soon.

Why not? For one year? Just as long as they relegate Johnson to the 7th dman role or send him to Hartford.

 

Smith would look great in a Bs jersey. Staple a prospect to him and get that salary and roster spot off the team.
