I swear Krejci is becoming the most underrated player in the league. I know he's not young and exciting, but do people actually believe Kyle Connor is a better player than him?

It’s easy to play the woulda coulda shoulda game lol

That said it was Sweeney more than the Bruins picking those 3 at 15-16-17. All reaches on most accounts. No GM nails every top pick but that was a poor trio. Yes scouts have input but the GM wests the responsibility.

Just ask yourself if a top 3 scoring winger is in demand?
It’s not a knock on Krejci he is no spring chicken anymore. When it comes down to Bergeron & Krejci in their prime it’s hard to find a better pair of 200’ C’s on one team in the league. What it amounts to is the Bruins could use young takent whole there stars age out. That is coming fast.

Imagine if this had not been done a million times already. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Now imagine this:

Chabot would have been buried on the depth chart and not had the opportunity he had in Ottawa to shine as quickly.

Barzal would not have had top 6 minutes in Boston and crappy wings. Considering he’s more of a playmaker than goal scorer, less minutes and crappy wings means he’s not putting up similar numbers.

Then there is the butterfly affect. Every draft pick, trade, free agent signing after that, not just for Boston but throughout the league is altered. Maybe they don’t end up with Macavoy. Maybe they are still stuck with Backes. Or used Grizz to move him to make room for Chabot. They never sign Craig Smith. Etc. etc.

And i don’t agree with you. Those would not have been the correct picks.

But congrats on the 20/20 hindsight and unoriginality.

Some of this is correct, but has Krejci actually fallen off a lot? A player not being in their prime doesn't mean they're worse than another in their prime. I think anyone agrees its better having Connor on your router than not, but at the cost of Krejci? No thank you.

I like & respect Krejci. Not saying he has fallen off but am saying new young blood is needed. Bruins need to do a goid retool in the fly & not get old as fast as they are. Some good prospects are coming bit none that scream top line.

Yes, they do, but I do agree Krejci is undervalued. Sometimes people look too hard at the contract, and Krejci is a perfect example. Sure, 7.25 million is paying him a little too much, but he's still a good player. Idk why a contending team would pay a first round pick just to get rid of his contract

IIRC Zboril was higher ranked than Chabot but Chabot was a late riser and only trending upwards.

They actually have to forfeit games because they’re not cap compliant. I’m sure the league would then punish them for lost revenue with loss of picks.

If you're so interested in history/hindsight 20-20...

Do a check of Barzal's last couple of years in junior. He had knee surgery, a setback after going under the knife, and played less than most "for the scouts".

Think Boston knows a thing or two about knees - Orr, Kluzak... -PASS-

Yeah, it's just soooooo old RH...Re-do the way you want I spose.

But there's no way to prove that your insight now will be the difference and the Cap-compliance almost assures a trade of one (more) of your darlings by now...and there's no McAvoy, Coyle, etc etc.

Besides, DeBrusk-Zboril were on-board & Zach was off-board (however he did score >40G twice in junior and has amazing speed) and Boston was pretty strong down the middle in 2015 w/ some guy named Patrice and a slick Czech dude.

Thus, Barzal is not seeing the same ice in Beantown as the Isle and you'd then be saying they should have taken Connor - yadda yadda yadda

[see where I'm goin w/ this]
