The Boston Bruins are lacking a little in terms of toughness this season, as well as missing that key component to pair with David Krejci on the second line. Chris Kreider could be the perfect option to tick both of those boxes for the team.
Although he is listed as a right-winger, there would likely be the option to deploy either him or Jake Debrusk on their off-side if they were to form a second line grouping for the Boston Bruins.
Why does he appeal so much?
Firstly, he’s a Massachusetts native and although home state or home town doesn’t always mean anything; there has been a certain trend in recent seasons to bring players back to the state; Charlie Coyle being the obvious name that springs to mind.
