Your not getting granlund or coyle for krejci. I'll counter with a 2015 3rd + 2016 3rd and 4th rd pick for Boychuck....
Proposal: Time To Trade David Krejci
- Thread starter corpfan1
- Start date
It would hurt to loose DK, no doubt about it... That being said, any move that could help the team on
the ice and with the cap has got to be considered. Has anyone forgot - almost a year ago to this day,
the future of the franchise, T Seguin was traded for both of these reasons...
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Krejci is traded. The guy is due a big raise next year and it's a
position of strength on this team.
Hypothetically, if Krejci's dealt for say a guy like Kane, does this really weaken our team?
Lucic - Soderberg - Kane
Marchand - Bergeron - Smith
Kelly - Spooner - Eriksson
Pie - Soup - Baby B
You have a huge first unit that can kill teams physically and on the scoreboard, you keep the second
unit in place and you have 2 very responsible players protecting Spooner...
It also solves many of our cap issues, as Kane has an identical cap hit as DK, but it doesn't expire
until 2018...

I have been saying this since the end of the season. I LOVE David Krejci, but to me, it's time to sell high and continue to move forward. Isn't this how the farm system works? Ideally, you draft younger, cheaper, players with high upside in order to replace your older, more expensive players? Not saying Krejci isn't still a stud, but unless you have two teams lining up to swap wing prospects for center prospects, I think this is a viable option.

It's only 9 a.m. and I need a drink.
Let's trade Krejci for a 24 case of bud light.
The way this team is built Bergeron is our number 1 centre. This has been apparent whenever he gets decent wingers to work with.
And at some point you have to show some faith in the kids you drafted, especially after they dominate the A. Krejci is a lot of folks binky but no where near as irreplaceable as they want to make it seem. There are plenty of guys out there who given the opportunity Krejci has can drop it back to the point to pick up 60 points.

Yeesh, you'd think he'd be worth Sam Adams at least.
I love posters trading Krejci as we hear that Chiarelli is consulting with him about his linemates.

geez, if it is Sam Adams we may need to add a pick.
Just Curious: How do you know that Bobby Ryan will be available. That's a big assumption (if it is an assumption). Do you know something that I/we don't?
Bingo.
That's what I's do.
Go to Edmonton...after Ted Nugent-Hopkins, they have crap at center. They have to hope their 1st rd. pick from this draft earns a spot on the team.
They have some decent depth on the wings.
I'd give Spooner for Nail Yakupov a shot.
Later
What the hell has Ryan Spooner ever accomplished that the Bruins should trade David Krejci away so he [Spooner] can have the #1 center spot? I mean, really....

Every player starts unaccomplished at the NHL level.
Even Krejci himself.
...however, Spooner's accomplishments at the AHL level are impressive, including a very impressive playoff run(15 pts in 12 games)
Spooner wouldn't have the #1 spot, he'd have the #3. Bergeron would slide up to #1, Soderberg up to #2 in this hypothetical move.
If you could deal Krejci for a high end right wing or defender on an ELC, it's definitely a move I wouldn't rule out...however, the OP offers no names, and in there is where the issue lies. I'd still move Krejci for Ekblad though and then turn around and move Boychuk+ for a wing to fill Iginla's spot...but that's probably not realistic now that Ekblad is picked and done with and not just a draft pick on paper.
Which David Krejci are we talking about trading here?
I'd move him to Toronto for just about any return... hell, I'd even trade him for Zeke at this point.

Especially if they had the initial conversations regarding extensions. Are these guys realistic about staying in Boston, or are they looking at yesterday the way my dog looks at cheese sticks.
Krejci+ for Ekblad
Boychuk/Camara for Calgary's 1st (McDavid lotto ticket)
Kelly for Mark Stone
And then based on tier two free agents mentioned the last couple days
Marchand-Bergeron-Smith
Lucic-Soderberg-Vrbata
Kulemin-Spooner-Eriksson
Paille-Campbell-Florek/Fraser/Knight/Stone
Chara-Hamilton
Seidenberg-Ekblad
Krug-Miller
McQuaid
Of course the odds of this happening are equal to the USMNT's odds of winning the 2014 as of today. Tweaks are for jerks!
If we are trading Krejci we might as well trade Chara and Seidenberg as well. There is no chance at winning the cup in the next few season without Krejci.

The thing that makes Krejci tradeable is that he isn't a top penalty killer unless someone is injured you don't see him on the PK that much. Other top centers in the league are used on the PK injury or not.

Trading Krejci and Seidenberg are not analogous to trading Chara. A #1, Norris candidate defenseman is a rare and extremely difficult position to replace.
Krejci is a very good player, but we'd theoretically be replacing his spot from a position of strength, and using the assets and cap space to improve other areas.
Seidenberg is a 2/3 defenseman who is 33 years old coming off an ACL tear.
Ideally you aren't replacing any of them. We're not in an ideal situtation this offseason.
Remind me what happened when Krejci got injured against Philly. Remind me who led the playoff in scoring on the way to winning the Stanley Cup. Remind me who again led the playoff in scoring while making it to the Stanley Cup Finals again. Take a look at the list of players that have led the Stanley Cup Playoff in scoring twice, it is a very inclusive club and Krejci is in it.
