Player Discussion David Krejci VI

[Mick Riddleton]

I would not sign him next year, time to get someone who can play in the next core.

He has fallen off the map 5 on 5,

Jason Spezza a 4th line scrub has 9 goals this year and has a better 5 on 5 stat line.

Spezza 21 pts and 5 on the PP = 16pts 5 on 5
Krech 23 pts and 12 PP pts = 11pts 5 on 5

He has had a fine career as a Bruin. But I agree with you ... for next season

I agree he was a great player but as in Krug and Chara's case I see this team moving on from the older core a piece at a time. Problem is ppl get too sentimental and look to the past and ignore the present. Sucks for him and them but it is a business.

I agree in the sense that he's not what he once was. I'd be curious to know where he values himself. If he doesn't let pride and money get in the way.... I'd welcome him back in a heartbeat. The grass isn't always greener on the other side. I would not blame him for going somewhere that promises top-6 minutes and PP time (and money that aligns with that role). He's not that player anymore IMO.

Chara transitioned into more of a specialized player and took a pay cut. Would Krejci accept that? He's still really good at what he does, but his cap hit should be about half of what it is now IMO. Currently the highest on the team, but really somewhere between Smith and Coyle in terms of his actual on ice value (middle-six).

If he wants to return... I wouldn't be so quick to toss him aside. That's where they should have a leg up as a long time "contender". Doesn't seem to be a thing anymore, unfortunately.

 

[The National]

If he returns at a pay cut for minimal years and we actually get a goal scoring winger, I wouldn’t be upset.

Coyle’s looking like a 4c never mind 2c. If we replace him with a UFA there’s some decent ones on the market but it’s gonna cost a lot more.

moving on as they get zero assets for any of them.

If they were flush with high end center prospects like the were with defensemen this year you might be on to something. As it is though, he signs a two year deal and they will be lucky to have him

If the Bruins handle things correctly they will have a lot of cap space in the off-season. With this added flexibility it is the perfect time to move on from a aging rapidly declining Krejci. It shouldn't be hard for Sweeney to find a younger, better replacement with plenty of teams up against the cap.

Would be nice if ‘Play Off Krech’ made an appearance in the next month.

Ha yeah sure thing - there’s sure to be a glut of 1b centers available

shouldn't be hard lol lets get rid of another producing forward and go with 1 top line and Sweeneys usual collection of jags, grinders and whatever AHL talent he throws on the ice. this is a joke at this point

Yup should be easy here our the top 15 UFA centers by points per game

Bruins wont sign Krejci so might as well get assets but I predict theyll lose Krejci for nothing bc thats their strategy of incompetence.

He is more like a #3 then anything remotely close to a 1A, 1B or 1C. His 2 goals in 34 games should end any legitimate argument as to Krejci's ranking.

It's the never ending story of straddling the fence

not good enough to make a costly Savard put us over the top type acquisition

not bad enough to burn it down

Which means we keep him for this year and " hope" to resign him for another two years

the market for what Krejci has left in the tank will be too high for Jacobs in free agency. with an old Bergeron and nothing else the Bruins will have to trend towards finding their next center in the lottery. id hope Sweeeny and Neely are gone by then and the Bruins get a fresh set of eyes on things

Lose for nothing is better than trade before the last playoff run.

The list of UFA centers is brutal hes the best one. RNH will get a deal we don't want to near since the other options are awful.

We aren't a bad team and have a chance in the playoffs despite what the 'fans' say.

Impossible to predict if we can get a deal done on our terms. If I am desperate for a center I'd offer him 3-4 years at his current money.

i stopped at lose for nothing is good. its so Sweeeny so watch the entire core walk for nothing

 

[DKH]

Krejci UFA

DeBrusk Seattle

Boston Globe today Matt Porter

Jake DeBrusk, who would be a candidate for Seattle if he’s not moved, could make sense in a deal for Dunn, or with Anaheim if the Ducks, a regular trading partner for the Bruins, would surrender lefty D Hampus Lindholm.

 

[BRUINS since 1995]

DK. Why would the Bruins move DK now! What would be the return? I think Bruins should go all in this year and DK is a must stay. My concern is how the Bruins have a hard time staying healthy and for some time now. DK is having a good year imo.

I think these people wanted Krug traded at the deadline last year when we were in line to win the Presidents Trophy so we could get a 3rd rounder vs losing him for nothing.

 

[neelynugs]

i can see krejci signing a 3 year deal with columbus this summer. a team desperate for
a legit center, he's responsible and gives the jackets a great role model/playmaker for
laine. no clue what krejci thinks he's worth these days, but he'll probably be overpaid.
also a chance to be the "#1 guy" and out from bergeron's shadow, even at 35.

3rd rounder for krug lol well if Sweeney is making the deal u might be right

 

[Dennis Bonvie]

Perhaps Mr. Krejci already knows he's going back to the Czech Republic to play easy hockey as a returning hero with pockets full American dollars to count in his spare time.
