“Recently, The Boston Bruins have informed me that they plan to move forward with their many younger and talented players and I respect their decision. Unfortunately, my time as the proud captain of the Boston Bruins has come to an end.”
With his announcement on Instagram, Zdeno Chara closed the door on a magnificent 14-year run in Boston.
His playing days, however, aren’t over. The 6-foot-9 defensemen inked a one-year deal worth $795,000 with the Washington Capitals. Chara will make $205,000 less than Kevan Miller, who hasn’t suited up for a game since April 4, 2019.
