The Boston Bruins are operating under the assumption C Patrice Bergeron and C David Krejci won't be back next season, per team president Cam Neely. After the Bruins lost Game 7 of the first round vs. the Florida Panthers, we always knew this could be the case.
Boston had just had a historic 135-point regular season and fell well short of a championship. Neely did tell reporters that it doesn't mean Bergeron and/or Krejci won't return. There's open communication with both parties. One would guess if either or both want to return for another season, the Bruins would be more than welcoming considering what each has done for the franchise.
