NASHVILLE — Eventually, the Boston Bruins will encounter life without Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci. That time could come as soon as October during the franchise’s centennial season.
That doesn’t guarantee that Krejci and Bergeron won’t return. But the retirement rumors will continue to swirl until two of Boston’s marquee centermen confirm one way or another.
At the same time, the Bruins have to plan ahead, with or without two of their top centermen in team history.
