Probably a late 1st to a cup contender would be his return. I think it will take a long time to find a player like him unless we hit on a lottery pick

Krejci's last season...will be dealt in the summer for futures and baton passed to CC and Studnicka.
Love the guy, but I'm selling for assets a year early instead of extending him.
20 Stanley Cup games, 2-11-13--- hasn't scored a goal since game 6 VAN and has 7 assists in his past 14 SC games.
I ride him this year, he's still very good, and will be good for a bit, hopefully lifts the cup for us again in June.

Not sure how he controls that. Serious question.
He has a modified no trade clause so he could still be traded next year, no?

Agreed on all counts. One of the best Bruins all time. Carolina would have been a great spot, but they just got Trocheck. Think they get a nice haul for him, and new team gives him a three year extension.

He was non existant in the Cup finals. Overmatched even with the speed and physicality. Picked up an assist game 6 and 7....He needed to control the play and just couldn't. Still love him, but they will have 15 teams they can trade him too and someone will bite. Don needs to get his 1 back.

Looks like the cup window officially closes this summer. Too bad they didn't go all in

I like Krejci, he just leaves me wanting more. I feel as if he has more to offer. Almost as if he sulks? Maybe it’s just me reading his body language. He’s immensely skilled. I for one would hope he can be resigned after his contract is up, just not at 7m. I think his game will age well. He’s a smart player. Anything more than 5m and I say let the Studnicka era begin

Well, he hasn’t been provided with decent line mates for many years now. Don’t see the last year being different somehow.

No, play-off Coyle is far better than play-off Krejci circa 2019, they will still have a few years left. Bergeron and Rask are the two you can ill afford to lose.

Has anyone seen this guy lately? 1 goal in his last 13 games is pretty invisible. Hopefully he gets motivated playing with Kase and gets hot.

better dump Bergeron for assets too then...
20 Stanley Cup games, 7-6-13, +/- of 0
past 2 Finals, 5-3-8 and a -6...and hasnt had a positive +/- Finals game since Vancouver

Coyle is a 3rd line center and Studnika is a prospect. If that's the plan they arent contenders. At that point I'm tanking for our chances to draft a top center

Unlike Krejci, Bergeron makes his linemates better come Stanley Cup time lately. Without him last year, they lose the series pretty quickly.

The Bergeron line is literally carrying this team into home ice advantage in the playoffs
Krejci has plenty of chemistry with actual top 6 wingers - Horton, Lucic, Iginla and Loui. He was great with all of them. It's shocking that he hasn't had great chemistry with the rotating wheel of bottom 6 players and AHL tweeners stuck to his side.
DeBrusk is an interesting case. He has top 6 goal scoring numbers but personally I prefer him with Coyle. He and Krejci can produce together but I don't know that it's the best match. He and Coyle really have chemistry and I think DeBrusk does better with the easier competition.
In a perfect universe we would have gotten two top 6 wingers for Krejci and bumped DeBrusk down. That would have been unstoppable.

Plus one has made Pastrnak the best sniper in the league and the other can't even produce with him on his line.

'Im definitely not going to miss the conversations about getting 46 a winger when hes traded. Seems like the same story every year. Very frustrating. Just like I wont miss discussions about backes or heinen.

Krejci is hardly shooting the puck this year, he has 2 shots on goal total in the past 4 games. Pacing for just over 100 shots on goal, where as his average is more in the 150-170 range. He's lucky that he's shooting 4% over his career average right now but I'd expect that to regress.

yeah, no
more like one (along with Marchand) are getting their numbers elevated playing with Pastrnak.
Its no surprise that Bergeron/Marchand played 6 years as a pair topping out as ~0.75 ppg/60pt players, yet magically Marchand turns into a 1.25/100pt player and Bergeron into a ppg player as soon as Pastrnak gets added

Totally agree on this. You trade Krejci you're immediately a worse team.
Coyle is a 3C, and certainly provides stability should there be an injury in the top 6, but he isn't in the top 6 if your team is competing for a Stanley Cup.
I handle Krejci by, assuming we're still competitive at the TDL next year, letting him play out his contract to see where his skills/production are. This also gives Studnicka a year to progress and to see where his skills/production are. If Studnicka is at a point where he can take over that spot it makes sense to go with the younger cheaper option.
Studnicka looks like hes going to be a good player, but trading Krejci and inserting Studnicka into the lineup makes you worse now.

So much agenda driven nonsense in this thread, like always.
Simple question for the DK fanbois crew here: Has DK looked good to you during the entire month of February?

So plus minus all of sudden means something here? Bergeron's line scored 5 goals, Krejci's 2. Does that mean anything?

I'd say it means you've exposed his agenda?
Never understand why we as fans can't be honest about this player. Whenever you say something like he's only scored 1 goal for the entire month, and he's not shooting the puck enough, it becomes "Well Bergeron has better linemates" or "if DK had Pasta, he'd produce more". At what point does it ever end up being his responsibility? The guy is f*cking teflon to some folks here and it's laughable.
He's sucked this month, both in production and in overall on ice play. He needs to be better. If this team wants to honestly contend, he needs to step up his game and intensity. Hopefully the new line mate will wake him up, because he's been pretty awful for a month now. The team was winning because of the top line playing insane again, but they've started to cool off, so DK needs to heat up.
