Player Discussion David Krejci. IV

[BRUINS since 1995]

Krejci's fantasy value goes way up with 2 star wingers, it's a fact that with better wingers he'll be a more productive player and put up more points.

David Krejci, C, BOS (28 percent owned): The Boston Bruins center had an assist with one SOG in Boston's 2-1 overtime win against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday. Krejci is skating on the top line with elite wings David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand and extended his point streak to three games (two goals, two assists, eight SOG). He has primarily been skating on the second line with forwards Jake DeBrusk (LW/RW, 27 percent owned) and Danton Heinen (C/LW/RW, 4 percent owned), but looks to stick on the top line until center Patrice Bergeron (upper body) returns. Krejci is a must-stream fantasy option with his current lineup placement.

Well...why would you want to put DK instead of PB if you don’t beleive Bergeron can succeed where DK didn’t? If there are simply interchangeable...why in hell do you need to argument for. If your opinion is that both player are interchangesble then it is robbing Paul to give to Peter and if the case in what world is this helping the Bruins!

I'd rather keep the Bergeron Marchand Pasta line together and get Tarasenko to play with Krejci and Debrusk

the argument I'm really making is you'll see more points and less inconsistency from Krejci if given better linemates, he's definitely not a top add skating with Heinen and Debrusk

Well that is the point. But if you don’t get help because Tarensenko is still not in Boston you will have to find another issue. The only reason to change DK and Bergeron is because you think Bergeron can succeed where DK failed... that means spread offense and maintain the d load. Other than that i can’t understand why doing it except for personnal matters... help DK havings points.

I agree with you. And DK always needed surounding players. He is a very good center. Give him talent points will increase.

I am more on how the Bruins could be better and not on how players can have personnally more points.

That isn’t my opinion, I’ve explained my reasoning in the post you quoted and in earlier posts.

the Bergeron Pasta Marchand line has played well together and putting Bergeron on a line with linemates he's not familiar with could hurt his production. Krejci plays well with Debrusk and adding Tarasenko would just make them both more productive instead of the big what if at RW we've talked about for ages. Sure Krejci could rip it up with Pasta and Marchand but I'd rather both centers get the most production possible

I liked your post but needed to add: i don’t careless DK and/or PB and/or any other players personal points! It is what roster that will bring the best Bruins line up and who will play together and give us the best chance for another 2011.

Well what's best for the team is good but if we point to Krejcis points totals as a sign of inconsistency, that won't happen as much with better wingers.

And how are you going to afford that contract plus what are you willing to give up?

I'm totally fine with going for Tarasenko, depending on the cost to acquire him.

Gotta give to get, so that is the big part of this equation. If the Bruins can acquire Taresenko without giving up TOO much of their future, it could be worth it and a much better way to spend assets than acquiring some rental only.

A. You aren’t getting near Tarasenko without DeBrusk being the starter, if he’s even available.

B. I don’t think Krejci needs someone on the level of Tarasenko. He just needs someone solid next to him when everyone is healthy. Is that player one of Donato, Heinen or Bjork? Possibly. Is it Senyshyn? If he keeps up this run he’s on, it very well could be in a month or two.

I think if their goal is to really make a playoff run now then Krejci needs a veteran wing. Maybe one of the kids could work, but it's folly to count on it IMO.

Saad & Schenn are the best, reasonable candidates IMO.

 

[PlayMakers]

I feel bad for Krejci.

He was the playing the best, most creative hockey of his career for two short weeks and now he has to go back to playing with Nordstrom.

No points today, -1.

They never knew what a Stanley cup was before Krejci anyway

 

[PlayMakers]

And the haters are sharpening their pitchforks

I mean, he had some chances today but the difference between what he looked like between Marchand and Pasta vs what he looked like with just Pasta is startling.

 

[dafoomie]

Even Adam Oates couldn't deal with the revolving door of shit on his wing.

Some folks here will look the other way.... since in turn Bergeron is "back"

I want Bergeron to succeed and I want Krejci to look the way he has with Marchand + Pasta

is this too much to ask?

Yeah Cassidy’s obsession with putting 4th liners in the top 6 needs to stop

Or if you’re going to do it at least make it someone with a little skill like Backes

This should get better with DeBrusk back

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

I still just don’t get it.... they won 5-2. Could have been 8-2!

DK played with Pastrnak...... which I think is a first line winger!

People still complaints about DK not getting points. Eyetest tells me that DK played a good game and could have closed with 1goal + 1assist with just a little bit of luck.

Though for me Marchand and Bergeron is a natural, Bruins could swap Pastrnak on Bergeron line and Marchand on DK line.... to satisfy a couple of you guys....and see.

Unless they get a trade help, for witch you will have to give (which will be young talent) to receive Cassidy needs to put the best line up. Decision is: staying a one line team and/or spread talent on two lines. Not to built the roster for Bergeron and/or Krejci to put personnel points! But to win games. And until they get help, if you maintain 1 line team, it will be a Peter and/or Paul between our two best wingers....and if the case my choice is Bergeron who is probably if not the best one of the best 200 feet center in the league.

 

[Mainehockey33]

Krejci played great last night, almost had a nice goal. Can’t wait to see that line with Debrusk on it today.

 

[rocketdan9]

Cassidy knows Krejci plays his best when provided Marchand and Pasta as his wingers

yet when the team struggles to score he always reverts back to Marchand Bergeron Pasta (last night again)

why is this?

When as he ever tried Bergeron with other wingers instead?

Krejci in two games now since losing Marchand and Pasta as his wingers has gone to zero points and minus whatever

he certainly doesn't have the possession of the puck like he did before and suddenly his famous saucer passes has disappeared.

Can we officially admit now that without Marchand .......... Krejci and Pasta alone doesn't work? It will be a similar story even if you replace Debrusk with Nordstrom on the 2nd line

 

[DarrenBanks56]

i agree. bergeron should center debrusk and donato on thursday.
krejci is useless without excellent linemates
