With the upcoming NHL season, which starts January 13th, Bruins fans will see a Bruins defense that will look different from past seasons. On Wednesday, December 30th, the Boston Bruins 14 year captain, Zdeno Chara, said goodbye to the Bruins and the city of Boston, as the 43 year old defenseman signed a one-year deal for $795,000 with the Washington Capitals. The Bruins also lost star power play defenseman Torey Krug, who signed a 7 year, $45.5 Million contract with the St. Louis Blues back in October. The signings have left lingering questions in the back of many Bruins’ fans minds as to who will fill Chara’s role as a leader in ice time on the Bruins back end and who will quarterback the Bruins’ first powerplay unit after Krug’s departure?
