Krecji's game has turned into Jozef Stumpel just before going off to yodle.
Doesn't score, doesn't hit, doesn't play with pace, but does all the other things on the ice to not look like a liability - smart zone coverage, smart passing, good stick.
Now Krejci has performed in the playoffs unlike many others, but you can't have a 2C - or even 3C - who is getting 18mins a night and be pro-rated for 7 goals on a season. He keeps playing like he has been, and there won't be a second season... I think he is enough of a pro to recognize this which for me says he's on the decline and just not able to flip the switch. If he is but is "saving" it, then he needs a talking to and to be on a new roster as that's the worst example possible for the yutes trying to build up their games. It's one think if they were rolling thru the NHL and on a 120 pt pace but they aren't (and even then it's a horrible example for the yutes).
