Buccigross is a tool.
But I'd like to see this trade happen.
Don't see how the cap would work here in a 1-for-1.
1 year of Shattenkirk is not worth a signed Krejci.

Bruins didn't bring in Backes just to deal Krejci.
He was brought in to compliment Krejci and Bergeron.
I don't believe this rumor for one second.
The media has been spit-balling Krejci being available ever since Backes was signed. Completely ignoring the fact that Backes can play RW, and Boston signed him to give them a formidable two-way three-headed monster up the middle, on a team and coach that puts significant defensive responsibility on their centers.
I think there would be +'s on each side.
Agree Shattenkirk would've to sign long term with Boston. And probably St Louis would need to add another player or so. Even Krejci is worth more then a just a resigned Shattenkirk.
