There is growing speculation surrounding the future of David Krejci, the experienced center for the Boston Bruins. According to two close sources, retirement may be on the horizon for the 37-year-old player. The information comes from a tweet by BOSHockeyNow
While nothing is confirmed yet, insiders suggest that Krejci is strongly considering stepping away from the game. This news follows an NHL source's statement on Wednesday night, indicating that Krejci would indeed retire. It's important to note that last offseason was unpredictable, with Krejci and team captain Patrice Bergeron navigating uncertainties as unrestricted free agents.
Eventually, both players signed one-year contracts shortly after the start of NHL free agency. With the NHL Draft approaching and free agency set to begin on July 1, it is anticipated that Krejci will make a decision in the coming week.
Having spent his entire career with the Bruins, Krejci recently acknowledged that if he were to continue playing, it would only be for his beloved team. While signs point to a potential retirement, the fluid nature of the situation means unexpected developments cannot be ruled out.
Krejci's impressive performance in the last season, despite battling injuries, demonstrated his enduring skills. He recorded 16 goals and 40 assists in the regular season, along with a goal and three assists in the playoffs.
