David Krejci has reportedly Made his Decision on Whether to Retire
BY TJ TUCKER AUGUST 2, 2023 (8:57 PM)
"Per an NHL source, longtime #NHLBruins center David Krejci will announce his retirement from the NHL and hockey in general 'very soon' but could still represent Czechia in the 2024 World Championships." - Jimmy Murphy
While not necessarily a surprise, Krejci's retirement creates an even bigger hole for the Bruins that isn't easy to fill. Much like Bergeron, Krejci still contributed offensively in 2022-23, scoring 16 goals and 56 points. There's also the leadership and experience he brings to the team that doesn't come along every day.
Krejci took the 2020-21 season off from the NHL in order to play in the top-tier Czech league at least one more time before he was unable to do so any longer. The 37-year-old has still played 1032 regular season games in the NHL, as well as another 160 in the playoffs. He has a Stanley Cup from Boston's win in 2011, and has bronze medals with Czechia in both the World Juniors and World Hockey championships.
