Zdeno Chara remains silent on playing future; Western Conference team no longer interested
It's been very quiet on the Zdeno Chara front ever since free agency opened on July 28th. The former Boston Bruins captain is expected to either remain on the east coast if he does decide to play a 24th season in the NHL according to Andy Strickland of The Athletic. Strickland also added that the St. Louis Blues are no longer an option for the 44-year-old.
"Told the #stlblues are not an option for future Hall of Fame Dman Zdeno Chara. His focus, if he plays, will be to stay in the East to remain close to his family," Strickland said in a tweet on Wednesday.
The Trencin, Slovakia native spent the 2020-21 season with the Washington Capitals after being with the Boston Bruins the previous 14 seasons. In 55 regular season games for the Bruins, Chara had 10 points (2 G, 8 A), 44 penalty minutes, and was a +5.
