I like krecji... sadly every effort to put him with pastrnak has been less than satisfying
Maybe give it more than 2 games before we are kicking bergeron off the line now?
And lets remember bergerons numbers before marchand went supersonic were... 60 point guy
Bergeron hasnt proven he can carry a line offensively without pastnak/marchand in a decade since he was pulling brad boyle and marco sturm to glory
I love the chemistry our big 3 have shown the past 18 months but marchand is only 1 that continues to score same pace reguardless who plays with him
For those who want to revise history... that horton/krejci/lucic line took a lot of heat because it went through nasty regular season slumps
Krejci has been a streaky player his entire career

Im With you 100%.
The only reason im playing with the idea of having Bergeron on the 2nd line is his defensive prowess would allow someone like Donato/Bjork/Heinen to flurish imo.
I could be wrong but it wouldnt hurt to try.
Unless Sweeny can pull a genius move and land Krejci a scoring winger.

Schockingly i just looked at stats for krecji and bergeron
In last 10 years they have one 70 point season between them
Great defensive players but these guys cant drive the offense by themselves
And based on last 10 games im losing my faith marchand/pastrnak can do it alone either. Im hoping pastrnak has been playing through an injury and he/marchand will find their fire again
But in NOWAY do i suggest now is the time to stick krecji here fulltime. During the bergeron injury... sure... but we have to remember how great defensively these guys are with bergeron
And how bergeron has become a sniper in his old age
Lets have us the best first line in nhl and let krecji and debrusk find a good fit to create a second line

If pastrnak/krejci click i am ok with what you suggest... i think heinen might do ok with bergeron/marchand
The fly in our ointment is that pastrnak hasnt played well with krecji so far
And even these last 2 games... marchand is there. How would they be doing without marchand?
Jury is still very out
If i was going to experiment id prob leave marchand with pastrnak and give them a defense first center
And then let bergeron/krecji anchor a second line since bergeron has become a hell of a shooter and krecji is still our best playmaker
Sadly riley nash is gone and im not sure our center depth can handle my suggestion
Blowfish
Count down ...

At this rate even when Bergeron is ready to play
keep the Marchand Krejci Pasta line together....who says no?

They should just trade Bergy since clearly Krejci has taken his role

Im more willing to try DeBrusk-Krejci-Pasta again and let Marchand-Bergeron play with a young winger.

I think it's a wash. You're breaking up one of the best lines in hockey, and moving Bergeron to 2C. I think it's a wash move that doesn't really benefit.
I thinks it easier to build a line around Bergeron than krejci because at least if Bergeron ain't scoring you can build a shut down line around him or he can shelter the young guys better than krejci

I'm happy as long as Bergeron stays with Marchand and Krejci stays with Pasta. I've been low on Krejci for quite a while now but he clearly is a great playmaker. Give him some talent to play with and he will earn his salary.

Entirety of this post reflects my exact feelings.
Considering this team has proven it can stay afloat with only one real scoring line threat, I am pretty curious to see how far we can go with two scoring line threats.

tell me, since when has Krejci and Pasta been a legit line before? When has it produced anything really
Marchand Krejci Pasta
Debrusk Bergeron Smith or whoever
Bergeron can play with and make many players better. Krejci has certainly proved that, this is not the case (I mean how many rotation of wingers has he been through)..... and finally
for once in a long time, he is playing well since having Marchand and Pasta as his wingers FT

I’m just glad he’s playing with skilled wingers, it’s been awhile since he’s had two wingers that know there way around the offensive zone.
