Back where it all began: Islanders sign Zdeno Chara
Future Hall of Famer returns to the organization that drafted him 25 years ago.
On Saturday, the New York Islanders signed a 44-year-old defenseman to a one-year contract.
If the nameplate on the locker didn’t read CHARA, fans might have questions about signing a player that age.
“They are a very solid group with strong leadership, a great coaching staff and one of the best managers in the league. It’s a well structured and cultured team. They have been making a lot of noise around the year, especially last year.”
