Krejci was asked somewhere around the 13-14 minute mark by one of the reporters, “has he been helping with convincing Pasta to sign a long term extension?” My reading between the lines which is not often correct but I’m thinking Pasta is not intending to extend long term. Krejci basically said that he is only here for a year and Pasta has to consider beyond next year. Also that he wouldn’t get involved with a very personal decision Pasta has to make and that he hasn’t been talking to him in awhile.
All Krejci had to say to keep the masses happy was “yes, I’ll do my best “ or something generic like that. Maybe we can sign Pasta on a two year deal and trade him next summer so we can actually have the gang all together for this season.

I do think he’d like to stay for a year with the old gang and then decide but that’s a huge gamble. Can you imagine next year with no Bergeron, no Krejci and losing Pasta for nothing?

What if we are in the middle of a tight playoff race or even better a Cup contender, that’s a hard trade to make. A lot of fans will lose their minds.

If that is the case, then perhaps a sign and trade after the season if they can't come to terms? That being said, if that does happen, it will be quite depressing watching Pasta play for another team regardless. He has been one of the most fun Bruins players to watch on and off the ice in the last 10 years.

I thought you’d reprimand me for the Pasta talk in the Krejci thread. 🙂 Either way I’m done speculating on what Pasta and Sweeney may do. Hopefully Sweeney is smart enough to leave us in good shape after this season.

David Krejci has spent most of his adult life in Boston, so he feels right at home after returning from a season with Olomouc in the Czech Superliga. But the Bruins center is going to have to get used to a new coach (Jim Montgomery), some new teammates, and a new system during the preseason.
“It’s great to be back, but at the same time, so many new faces,” Krejci said after practice at Warrior Arena Wednesday. “The game plan is new a little bit as well; it’s something you have to get used to it — the other guys too. [Montgomery] has got, obviously, his things and trying to do that in practices; it doesn’t happen overnight.
“We’re going to keep working on it and keep asking some questions because, like coach says, if one guy doesn’t understand, it’s five, six, seven guys don’t get it, either. So we’ve got to talk. Still have a couple more weeks before the first game, so hopefully we can dial in and be ready.”
A possible new wrinkle could be a five-forward power play — Krejci at the point, along with Patrice Bergeron, Jake DeBrusk, Taylor Hall, and David Pastrnak. The tactic might seem risky, but not to Krejci, whose composure is difficult to upset.
That’s something I think we worked on [Tuesday],” Krejci said. “Who knows what’s going to happen? I mean, I played on point before so many times, so I feel comfortable there.
“Obviously, I haven’t played a game in months. I just have to get up to speed. Other than that, I’m confident I can handle it. You’ve just got to make sure you get on those loose pucks, you’ve got to talk. Usually, PK is good, smart, fast forwards, so we’re going to play with the puck and not give them a chance to go the other way.”
“Feels good, to be honest,” Krejci said of returning. “Still kind of working on it in my head. Once you come here, it’s faster, and that’s something I’ve been working on. That’s what training camp is about and hopefully I get a couple games before the first real game.”
Montgomery said Krejci will play when the Bruins meet the Philadelphia Flyers in a preseason game Saturday.
“He’s been good, his ability to make plays, how smart he is,” Montgomery said. “Maybe he’s not making plays to his level; that’s good news for me to hear. But positionally, defensively, he’s been sound as well. So that’s very comforting.”
The Bruins visit the Washington Capitals in the season opener Oct. 12.
“In a way, I know the city, I have friends here outside hockey, so it’s good to be back,” Krejci said. “Right now I’m ready for some games.”
