Chara didn’t want to be a “reserve player,” Sweeney paints it as Chara’s choice

We got the post-mortem on the “Zdeno Chara to the Washington Capitals” news today, with Don Sweeney speaking to the media in Boston and Zdeno Chara meeting with the media in Washington, DC.

We all knew that we were never going to get anything super juicy from Chara, a guy who has never been one to make headlines with his words off the ice.

However, what Chara had to say is actually pretty interesting:

Zdeno Chara -- on zoom call -- said BOS negotiated in good faith (he declined to badmouth the Bruins), but he chose to move on because role would be limited.
