Perhaps it stems from the fact that the Boston Bruins pay David Krejci more than any other player on the roster. This isn’t something we should be blaming the player for though; his representatives would’ve negotiated the best deal they could and the Bruins chose to agree on it.
However, it does look crazy when you see the league’s leading goal scorer David Pastrnak being paid less, likewise a four-time Selke Trophy winner in Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand with four consecutive 70-point plus seasons.
Even Tuukka Rask, who rates second-highest paid on the Boston Bruins roster still earns $250,000 a season less than David Krejci.
