Future Hall of Fame defenseman Zdeno Chara signed to a one-year, $795,000 contract with the Washington Capitals on Wednesday following a 14-year run with the Boston Bruins, the team announced.
Chara posted a heartfelt farewell to Boston on his Instagram, and revealed that it was the Bruins who initiated the divorce.
"The Boston Bruins have informed me that they plan to move forward with their many younger and talented players and I respect their decision," he said. "Unfortunately, my time as the proud captain of the Bruins has come to an end."
More to come.
