It really is a weird thing to consider, isn’t it? Zdeno Chara, suiting up for a different team.
The nitpickers among you (and there are plenty) will point out “WELL ACTUALLY HE’S ALREADY PLAYED FOR OTHER TEAMS,” but you get the point.
Chara has presided over a wildly successful run for the Bruins as a franchise, arguably the most successful since the invention of the Internet.
And this is how it ends?
To get this out of the way, it’s unlikely that Chara’s departure makes or breaks the Bruins’ 2021 season. Their fate, as it usually is, will be decided by goaltending and secondary scoring.
