One can hope, right? :snicker:
justwincaps:
Was reading the other day that some teams are stockpiling d-men because the season will be more compacted and that would allow rotating fresh d-men in. Personally, if Jensen never saw the ice again I think it's "addition by subtraction".
I forget who, but I read one team was toying with going with 11 forwards and 7 defenseman.
Wouldn't mind seeing some double shifting of our top six forwards and situational use of d-men like Chara.
canadiancapman:
I don't mind this signing. Solid defence from chara is what we need and he'll help the pk (especially in playoffs when special teams are so crucial)
With all the back to back games with teams this year will cause animosity and I expect fights will increase dramatically. I feel like the Caps were the toughest team in the league last year and now with chara and Dillon for the full season, no other team is even close to as tough as Washington
Beaglefan2:
I doubt we see more fights. In fact, I think the players will have an unwritten rule of no fighting this year. I'm not a big fan of Charra at this point. He has very little mobility and if he takes minutes/games for Ziggy and Fehrvary, I think that is a big mistake. Plus, the fact that Boston didn't want him back ought to tell you something...
alta:
I bet Boston was hoping Chara would retire. Like I said, I'm sure he can still contribute somewhere, but I don't see it here.
