That’s it 2 mil? Is the guy not still a top 4 D? |

Can't see how the Bruins would ever say no to another chara contract as long as he wants to keep playing. He can still play and at 2m, it's a no brainer |

Great deal. Even if he plays 5/6. What he brings to that team is well worth that money. |

No, he’s definitely still solid. Just an awesome contract. It’ll be more like 3.5 though, easy bonuses |

Have to say this is great news for Boston. He is a leader on and off the ice and even if he is working as a 5/6 guy helping the younger guys take a bigger role and slowly moving out, Boston is a stronger, better team for his presence. Guy can still play.
That contract too is team friendly and allows Boston freedom to pay the younger guys and keep building. Clearly Chara cares about the team overall there. And yeah have to think bonuses will be in there easily obtained to pad that 2 mil up a bit more too. |

No. He really shouldn't be. But he brings more to the table than most 5/6 D men |

The Bruins play 4 D roughly the same minutes as their top 4, him being one. And he leads them in SH TOI. They still rely on Chara pretty heavily.
It's a good contract for what he brings, but I wouldn't pay him much more than that, because you don't know what he's going to bring from year to year anymore, given his age. And I definitely would not sign him for more than 1 year at a time. |
