"The Habs just drafted Juraj Slafkovsky, an 18-year-old Slovakian kid who will have a chance to make the team in his first season. We're talking about a kid who just became the first player in his country's history to be drafted 1st overall. A player who is just starting to get used to his new life in North America. A player who will be playing in the biggest market in the league in front of fans who see him as a savior, or at least as the future star of the team.
With that in mind, would it really be far-fetched to sign Chara, one of the greatest Slovak players in history, a leader and veteran of 24 seasons in the league?" - Samuel Doiron
