The Boston Bruins have resigned David Krejci to a three year contract with a cap hit of $3.75 million per year. In today's NHL that's a nice contract for a 22-year old 70+ point playmaker with great potential, especially when you factor in the great chemistry he has with Blake Wheeler. Despite his current injury, he's definitely worth that kind of money. On the other hand the Bruins are getting into a tight spot cap-wise - they still have their best goalscorer Phil Kessel to resign, along with one of the many positive surprises on this season's team Matt Hunwick. The underrated P.J. Axelsson's contract is also up this year. And the Bruins management cannot forget that next summer they'll have to resign Marc Savard (and he won't come cheap after getting more than point-per-game during his current $5 million per year conract). With the possibility of the cap being lower then, it's safe to say that the Bruins are hoping Krejci will be Savard's potential replacement.
