David Krejci

Easily the most unlikely scenario out of all the aforementioned players. David Krejci has been an absolute stud up the middle behind Patrice Bergeron for the past decade. Nonetheless, Krejci is getting up there in age and hits UFA status after this season. If management continues in their path of working towards the future, Krejci could be a question mark to return if he hits free agency.

If the Boston Bruins lack of scoring and defensive depth comes back to bite them, then Krejci would be another valuable piece that the Bruins could put on the block. Here’s another guy that could bring back a more than a solid return. We’re talking first-rounders and A+ prospects again. Possibly with a player of Krejci’s caliber, the Bruins could slide an NHL top-six winger or second pairing defenceman.

Final Thoughts

The Boston Bruins are heading into a season full of unknowns. In an un-regular season like the one coming up, nothing is out of the question.

The Bruins should still be a playoff team and have the pieces to make a run in 2021. Don Sweeney will finally have to make a few big moves though and mortgage a bit of the future to get this club over the hump if they are seen as a contender.

In a season where we saw our captain leave for a new team, Boston Bruins fans shouldn’t be shocked if the Bruins become sellers if the front office sees this year as a wash.
