David is starting to pick up his game, let's hop it continues and the B's continue to roll.
Krejci has played better, but let's not put the cart before the horse. He is still a good player, but Hall is more of a driving force on the second line. Unless Krejci signs on a short term for less money, the prudent move would be to let Krejci walk and re-sign Hall and build the second line around him.Krejci needs to be resigned / age has not slowed him down one bit. He could be had at a discount. He's so under-rated and under-appreciated by NHL fans.
He is one of the best 2C in the league.
So skilled.
Even made Ritchie look like a NHLer.

I agree on Krejci but weird shot at Ritchie.
Fun fact time...
Nick Ritchie this season is on 38 point pace
Nick Ritchie last season was at a 36 point pace
Nick Ritchie two seasons ago was at a 43 point pace
So maybe Nick Ritchie just is what he is with or without Krejci? He's obviously not a guy that can drive a line himself but put him with some skilled guys and he'll produce far more than the young guys the Bruins have tried to integrate into the lineup (Kuhlman, Senyshyn, etc.).
Most of Ritchie's points came at the start of the season standing in front of a net during pp. The pp hasn't looked so good lately. Not sure Krejci had any influence on Ritchie's point totals as the 5 on 5 2nd line was horrid all year.
No David always looks good. He is a three zone centre. Wins face offs. Creates offence. Slows the play down when ever he wants. Has an underrated shot he doesn’t use enough. Not his fault he hasn’t had wingers who can score 30+ a year until now. U can see his vision is elite. It’s never slipped IMO. Numbers slow when his wingers don’t score. Playmaking two way centre. That’s what krecji is.David is starting to pick up his game, let's hop it continues and the B's continue to roll.
Krejci on a 60 point pace
easy call for Donny
If Krejci wants to keep playing in NHL and specifically here I’m going 2/12
not slowing down at all
I am right there with you, but I think he gets more on the open market. Years and $
Not sure what the Bruins cap crunch will be, but I assume they'll need money in a couple years. Ideally, Krejci signs here right up until that cap crunch is at the doorstep (which may very well be the 2 years you suggest).
they're not going to extend anyone before the expansion draft, it's just common sense.should have been extended already. anything can happen in FA such as Hall could get paid and a team with star wingers wants to add Krejci

i like to think a verbal agreement has been made, and he signs as soon as the expansion draft finishes up. Same goes for Hall.
i also recognize that means the player is assuming just about ALL of the risk
