    Default [Signing] Chara Signs with NYI

    https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/zde...170854691.html

    Chara comes full circle to (potentially) finish his NHL career, signing a one year deal with the team that drafted him. No word on whether Mike Milbury is going to make his way back to the team.

    Agreed. Excellent fit. Hard to not like what the Îles are building.

    I think their D is still vulnerable, Peng. They have an elite first pairing and then a bunch of third pairing D after that. Unless Dobson takes a big leap, if one of Pelech or Pulock goes down for long they’re in deep doodoo.

    According to their 23-man roster on CapFriendly:

    12/23 are 30 or older
    16/23 are 28 or older

    This is an OLD team

    Also, regarding Chara, it seems we've come full circle. He started his career here as a big & slow depth D. Now he's back as a big & slow depth D, although he might get a surprising amount of ice time. I'm not high on their blueline depth.

    Maybe Lou's no beard policy is to make the team look younger?

    Leddy skated the puck up ice often . I have no idea whats replacing that element unless they plan on breaking in Salo/Aho slowly while chara-greene have their workloads managed. Bolduc is an option of course too but he's more on the defensive side.

    otoh , while Leddy was counted on to get it up ice he also lacked creativity once he entered the offensive zone

    Leddy was also the Isles worst defensemen by shot differential.
    He may have had some positives... but he also had some negatives.

    General curious question on Chara's return to the Isles (for Isles fans):
    What things or people are still there when Chara was last an Isle?
    [like... a trainer... or a mascot... the jerseys are back to retro, Chara wore those Fisherman's IIRC... arena is different, ownership is different...]
