If the Boston Bruins want to truly continue their retooling they need to seriously consider moving Zdeno Chara by the NHL’s Feb. 29 trade deadline.

Yes, that’s right. It’s time to seriously consider trading Chara.

As it was reported by Joe Haggerty of CSNNE.comin October, the Bruins need to not only “gauge” the trade value of their captain, but let it be known that the 2009 Norris Trophy winner is available for the right price.

With the NHL trade deadline now five days away and the Bruins in the thick of the tight Eastern Conference playoff race, management has made it clear it that they would like to use the deadline to improve for the now and the future. Yeah? Well, so would those other teams they’re neck-and-neck with, or better yet, any team still in playoff contention.
