In late July, the 35-year-old hockey player announced he was returning to his homeland to spend more time with his family. However, even if he said he wanted to bring his loved ones back to Europe, the effects of the change could be temporary, hopes the Bruins pilot.
“He didn’t close the door on a comeback [à Boston]Cassidy told TSN 1200 Ottawa radio station. I don’t know if that will happen, or when, but he didn’t say he is retiring and not coming back to the National League. So, this is good news for us. Maybe in a few months he will be satisfied with what he wanted to do, but it is possible that that is not the case either. “
Little money available
If he decides to play in the Bettman Tour again, will the veteran end up with the Bruins or elsewhere? These have a thin space of about $ 1 million on their payroll.
“We’ll do our business. We hired free agents and added depth. We have a good youngster in Jason Studnicka and Charlie Coyle can move up the pecking order. So we’ll see if we can fill that hole in the middle of the second line and where David is later, ”explained the instructor.
Krejci finished a six-year, $ 43.5 million contract last season, in which he tallied eight goals and 36 assists for 44 points in 51 games.
