Boston Bruins 2023 Off-Season CAP, Trade Rumors and Free Agent Talk X

[RiverbottomChuck]

Is krejci coming back?

Hopefully not

 

[goldnblack]

With Bergeron retired what does everyone think they well do for center depth?

Are you familiar with the name "David Lewis" ?

 

[Sheppy]

I seriously doubt Krejci will be back.

 

[LSCII]

Is krejci coming back?

This is comedy, right?

 

[Ladyfan]

I consistently said there was a really good chance he wasn't. Said they should have tried to get Krejci back and make him Captain.

They should have signed Bergeron for $3M, then LTIR'd him. Would have given them enough money to have kept Hall. God knows #37 deserves that freebe with the discounts he took.

Krejci is/was a great player but not really a leader.

 

[BruinDust]

One season. But let's not forget he used a number one to dump the corpse of David Backes as well.

By my count, by the time we get to 2025, they will have traded away TEN Top 60 picks between 2018 and 2025. Five 1st rounders and five 2nds.

And essentially Hampus Lindholm to show for it.

Exactly.

Krejci is/was a great player but not really a leader.

He's also not a viable or reliable top 6 center at this point. Age and miles have caught up to him.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

This is comedy, right?

Why is it comedy? He still has value on the PP and play well with #63\88 and both those guys could certainly drive that line. So Zacha and Coyle slot at 2C and 3C.
I don't think its outrageous.

 

[The don godfather]

If dk comeback we still in business.

Did you not see him last year? He's not a top 6 player at this point. As for his PP abilities, that's been grossly overrated by folks here. He doesn't shoot. Teams shaded him to pass and it neutralizes his effectiveness.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Krejci is/was a great player but not really a leader.

Sure, but #46 still adds value to the team.

 

[goldnblack]

#46 can certainly ask for 1+5m and probably get it now

 

[LSCII]

If dk comeback we still in business.

While he'd be the best center on the roster, that's not any high praise given what they have. He's cooked. He was terrible last year and couldn't stay healthy. Father time remains undefeated.

Sure, but #46 still adds value to the team.

Does he really though? They were up 3-1 in the playoffs without him. Lost the series when he returned.

He put up decent points he ain't cooked.

Dude. Enough.

 

[KillerMillerTime]

Exactly.

What other better options do they have? Frederic, Beecher or Geekie? He is a lot better than those 3. He was old last year and still added value. I would rather go 46,18,13
down the middle than what they have now.

 

[Sheppy]

David Krejci isn't coming back.

 

[LSCII]

He put up decent points he ain't cooked.

Did you actually watch his play or are you looking purely at stats? Something tells me it's the latter because he certainly wasn't driving that line. It was Pasta and Zacha. And when DK was hurt in the playoffs, the Pasta Zacha Bertuzzi combo drove the offense. When DK came back and was put in that spot, they suffered. He was constantly behind the play by 2-3 steps every game.

That's the point. Sweeney failed.

 

[Pia8988]

Sweeney losing his binkies

He had a 3pt night in game 7 when the team only managed 3 goals.

This place. . . .whoo boy

Well yeah Sweeney failed drafting replacements. That has nothing to do with whether
#46 can still add to the team.

 

[Ladyfan]

Sure, but #46 still adds value to the team.

I guess we will see

 

[PatriceBergeron]

He’s still a solid NHLer but why would he come back?

He already left once, dealt with injuries again, and the team just lost their captain. I’d be surprised if he put himself through another season just to fight for the 7th seed.

 

[TCB]

With Bergeron retired what does everyone think they well do for center depth?

Sign Matthews next off season

 

[NeelyDan]

I guess we will see

Guess you can change to “miss savvy, bergy and quaider”
