Boston Bruins forward David Krejci was one of the big question marks going into the 2016-17 season. He was coming off his second major hip surgery of his career. With the addition of David Backes to the Bruins, there was early talk among the media. Could a healthy Krejci become part of a blockbuster deal with another team?
In the end, Don Sweeney chose to stick with Krejci. So far, it seems to have been a wise decision. He’s played in all 36 games so far this season. Krejci started the season out kind of slow but his production has picked up of late.
