The official announcement detailed that Chara's new contract is worth $2 million with up to $1.75 million in performance-based incentives.
Chara has been the NHL's longest-tenured captain since 2017, as he has worn the "C" for the Bruins since arriving in Boston in 2006. Chara has led the Bruins to the postseason in nine seasons since then, including a Stanley Cup to cap off the 2010-11 season.
