Latest On David Krejci

July 11, 2022 at 1:35 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 21 Comments

After spending a year playing overseas, it appears as though David Krejci may be on his way back to Boston. Multiple reports have emerged today including from Kevin Weekes of ESPN that Krejci is currently in negotiations with the Bruins to re-join the team for 2022-23. General manager Don Sweeney admitted he had been in touch with the veteran forward a few days ago but wouldn’t go so far as to say contract negotiations were underway at that point.

Krejci, 36, spent this past season playing in his native Czechia, where he racked up 46 points in 51 games. It was at the World Championship where the itch to return to Boston might really have started, as he rediscovered that instant chemistry with former teammate David Pastrnak en route to a bronze medal finish.

With the Bruins also expected to bring back Patrice Bergeron for at least one more year, it appears as though the team is trying to give it one more kick with the old core–a group that had so much success for so many years. Krejci himself had 730 points in 962 regular season games, all with the Bruins, and led all players in scoring during both 2011 and 2013 trips to the Stanley Cup Final.

One of the most cerebral playmakers of his generation, Krejci has never relied on speed to produce at a high level, instead creating space for himself and his teammates with ultra-quick decisions and awareness. His presence behind Bergeron down the middle of the Bruins lineup gave the team a one-two punch that was hard to beat, and fans in Boston will likely be excited to see them reunited, should both contract negotiations end positively.

With so many players on expiring deals, there will be a chance for Boston to embrace a true retool next summer. For now, it appears as though they’re trying to get the band back together.

    Signing a 36 year old who usually Is hurt or just disappears during the regular season does not advance the Bruins ultimate goal of competing for the Stanley Cup. Sweeney Is clearly another GM dinosaur.

      Hey Wilf, before you make yourself look stupid, take a look at Kreijci career.

      And as for dissapearing in playoffs?
      You obviously are not a Bruin fan!!!

      In fairness he said that Krejci disappears during the regular season. That said, the Bruins aren’t trying to win the presidents trophy. Who cares about the regular season? Krejci performs at an elite level in the Stanley cup playoffs.

      Judging by the rest of his posts below, the troll should crawl back into his Montreal hole.

    Really glad they brought in a coach who could work with younger players.

    The Bruins can’t draft well. They got rid of a great coach and now are bring back a guy who is old and gets hurt a lot just like Bergeron. It’s going to be a long season.

    When your negotiating with a 36 year old your team might be In the tank!

      When your own team is in the tank, and have missed the playoffs, certain fans are reduced to desperate trolling posts about teams that are relevant.

      The really desperate fans post over and over again.

    A lifelong Bruins fan but let’s face it Sweeney SUX!!! They should of won multiple cups when DK & PB we’re in their prime. How are they going to afford them now with minimum cap space?

    While this move might help a little bit for one year this isn’t going to get them much further in the playoffs if it does at all. It pushed Haula to the third line with Coyle and Smith, they aren’t younger or tougher with this move if it even happens, where’s the money coming from?
