EDGE Analysis

Chara does have 10 helpers with a rating of plus-10 in those 60 games for the Islanders but hasn't been able to wrinkle the twine. Chara has only scored 19 goals over his past five seasons, covering 318 games. The Islanders brought Chara on board to be a veteran presence for their younger corps, a job he has done well. The Islanders did check with Chara to see if he wanted to be moved to a contender at the trade deadline, but he preferred to stay with the team, and they honored that request.
