Krejci now pointless in 4 straight games and -7.
Get this guy some help!

If he needs two wingers of the caliber of Marchand and Pastrnak, I don't think it is realistic for the Bruins to trade for them. Now if the Bruins do decide to go with Marchand-Bergeron and Krejci-Pastrnak pairs, I think they should call up Cehlarik/Bjork and give them a shot with Krejci. I just don't think DeBrusk is a fit with Krejci. Cassidy should either put DeBrusk with Marchand and Bergeron or have DeBrusk man the 3rd line. Marchand and Bergeron can play with anyone. I would like to see Donato, Bjork, and Senyshyn given a shot there. If all of those options fail, then look for a trade.Krejci now pointless in 4 straight games and -7.

And what we have seen of Cehlarik in the past at the NHL level has been him setting up plays, getting good scoring looks, and playing well enough a few months ago in preseason to the point it was a joke he didn't make it onto the roster for opening night. The Bs have been incredibly patient with a multitude of non-producers, but have never given Cehlarik a chance. Stupid.

I don't think he needs wingers of that quality (63/88). I just think he needs legit top6 wingers he has chemistry with. I don't believe he has good chemistry with DeBrusk.
I'd be willing to see Bjork and Krejci again. I mean, we've seen him with Krejci before and it didn't work (and it's frustrating that we just keep going back to lines and combos that don't work), but at least in this case, you could make an argument for a young player developing and changing their game a bit so maybe it would be different this time. Having Pasta (instead of DeBrusk) as the other wing would give it a different look too.
So DK ain’t working with Debrusk who following some poster ain’t a top 6!. DK with Pastrnak ain’t working either following some posters.... Debrusk and Pastrnak won’t work either, since they do not have chemistry with DK.I don't think he needs wingers of that quality (63/88).

Now wingers rotating isn’t the solution. So the only wingers that will work is Marchand..... and if Marchand plays with Pastnak, then DK finds chemistry with Pastrnak! Am I missing somthing.
Well that is something...
In all seriousness though... How many teams have 2nd line wingers on the same level as Marchand and Pastrnak?
This said... Even though I'm against splitting up Marchand, Bergeron and Pastrnak.
Pair Pasta and Krejci on the 2nd while having Bergeron and Marchand on the first and in all honesty, each pair should be able to carry a line mate.
This false narrative about DK's wingers is ridiculous. DeBrusk has one less goal than Bergeron and Marchand. He's very capable of putting the puck in the net. But people go out of their way to excuse Krejci from any culpability when he takes games off, like he has the last 3.
No need for star wingers, just top 6 wingers would be a nice change.That fact he needs star wingers to be successful is getting so old. At 7m a year he should be able to play with the zamboni on his wing.
Trade him to Dallas for Benn
Debrusk is good but he's less than a half a ppg which about the same as Kokaniemi on the habs. Hes producing at a 3rd line rate. It's no coincidence krejci was at 2ppg with Pasta and Marchand who have a higher ceiling than Jake.
Why wouldnt we want 2 ppg Krejci ?

JDB's drop in ppg from last year to this year is because he's not getting assists. His gpg average is way up from .23 last year to .37 this season. Given that DK is a set up man, isn't that what he needs anyway? I'd also attribute the drop in assists from JDB because DK was not scoring any goals earlier in the season. In fact, DK had all of two goals for the first two months of the season. 2 in October and none in November. And you can't put DK not scoring on DeBrusk, can you? I mean ****, DK has 8 games this year alone where he didn't put a single shot on goal.

And then DK was put with Pastrnak and Marchand and he started scoring goals.

So I'll say it again. The excuse making for this player is ridiculous. It's always someone's fault he isn't performing. It's never on him for playing like ****. He's a -7 his last 4 games because he's pouting that he isn't playing with Pasta and Marchand any more.

If you actually watch the games, you can see that it isn’t Krejci’s fault JD’s assist totals are low, it’s because JD hasn’t made many good plays this year, especially 5 on 5.
Throw in the fact that when it comes to playing with a goal scorer both JD and Krejci have been essentially playing shorthanded in the Ozone this season.And then DK was put with Pastrnak and Marchand and he started scoring goals. People were so surprised they didn’t know Krejci had a one timer.

I’m on board with splitting the top line and trying Pasta with Krejci and DeBrusk. But they time and not panick at every game. There’s just too much line up changes.I don't think fans want to see Krejci produce with Marchand and Pasta to be honest, at least that's the impression I get.

I would go with the "I am tired of hearing that Krejci can't find chemistry with players." Maybe it is the fact that when Bergeron is playing, DK just tendings to coast a bit more. A top center like himself should make players around him much better. But it might be a good idea for Cassidy to move Bergeron with Debrusk and see what happens.
