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...

You may be right, but the schedule is not quite, but almost all, "series" of 2-3 games in a row against the same team. We all now how chippy things historically get on a back-back, let alone a back-back-back. So, that unwritten rule may be torn up. If so, it's nice to have Chara taking some of that pressure off, especially off Willie.

You're joking about that "unwritten rule" I hope. There will definitely be more fights and you're crazy if you think otherwise or simply naive.
Chara doesn't need to play every night. There will be injuries and guys will need rest with the compressed schedule. Boston let him walk because it's pretty hard to have your team captain and leader not be on the ice every single night. How can you be the leader of the team when you're a 5th or 6th dman. In Washington, he's not the leader of the team, Ovechkin is. If the day comes when Ovie is at risk of just being a depth forward in the league, he will no longer be with the Capitals and certainly not wearing the "C" for them.

Actually, the way things are kicking off in America, I wouldn't be surprised if many of the Europeans jump ship an return to their homelands.
Chara included.

Not happening!
And please tell me who has their team captain as a healthy scratch multiple times a season? I'd love to hear your example and as to why Bruins would have just let him walk when they could have signed him for the league min and just healthy scratched him until someone got hurt?
