Z, Bruins Agree To One Year Deal [VIDEO]

41-year-old Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara will play next year and it will be with the Bruins after signing a one year, $5 million dollar deal.

The 6-foot-9 Chara is in his 20th year in the NHL. He lead the Bruins in time-on-ice, averaging 23 minutes per game. Chara has seven goals and 16 assists and a plus/minue of +26.

This is the 7th and final year of his $45 million dollar deal. He could have been a free agent and many in the NHL say he could have gotten a longer deal and more money from another team.

He decided to stay in Boston for a 13th year.
