No reputable sources have confirmed it so far.

[NynJa]

big, if true

which begs the question: why?

[Cail]

No reputable sources have confirmed it so far.

yea, but some reputable sources have retweeted it. Also, Chara just posted on instagram a big post that hes leaving Boston

Seems more they wanted to go younger and not have Chara take up a roster spot for a younger player.

[Judai]

if the plan was to get older, slower and taller on defense, the Caps sure signed the perfect tree to do it I guess.

[NynJa]

Seems more they wanted to go younger and not have Chara take up a roster spot for a younger player.

According to capfriendly, here is there LD situation
active roster:
Grzelcyk, Matt
Moore, John

AHL:
Ahcan, Jack
Vaakanainen, Urho (still on loan)
Wolff, Nick
Zboril, Jakub

I dont follow the Bruins farm team, so I'm not sure if any of these guys are NHL ready.

Ahcan and Wolff are undrafted, both were playing in NCAA. Vaaknainen is a 2017 18th overall, Zboril is a 2015 13th overall and took a paycut in his post-elc contract, so I dont think things are doing as good for him as the Bruins hoped they would.

[Obsidian]

They're definitely paying a replacement-level D more than what Chara just signed in Washington for. It's also funny to me that they told Chara and Krug both basically to fuck off. Dunno what Boston is thinking.

[NynJa]

Boston's #1 LD is Matt Grzelcyk lmao.

Matt Grzelcyk and John Moore are going to be counted on to play ~45 minutes a night between them.
