Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston: This feels like a broken record but Chris Kreider will be highly sought after by the Boston Bruins. Sometimes the more modest fish turns out to be the best. However, Kreider provides power to the top-six in Boston’s forward core. The winger is 6 foot 3 and nearly 220 pounds with a net-front presence that can irk many goalies.
Kreider plays primarily on the left-wing and his acquisition would push Jake DeBrusk down the depth chart. That may not be a bad thing.
There are drawbacks like that one.
