<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>In_it_to_winnik</b></div><div>I hope he's back, but let's say he isn't. Really curious what happens there. Centers are few and far between. With retention I wonder if they look at Nashville for Duchene/RJ. Sharks say hertl is untouchable.... but he'd be a great fit and they wanted him. Logan couture at retention? Still a decent player. Philly has Hayes, but I don't think he is a bruin type guy. Couturier on the other hand would be absolutely perfect. I really hope his career isn't over with all the injuries. If he's healthy that is such a great fit. Nick schmaltz might work, but he's a winger/center combo. The easy fix is to have Bergeron, but the conversation of the team moving forward without him has to be had imo.</div></div>

Yes, I agree. The conversation 100% needs to be addressed. They're all in this year, which I fully support. Its a travesty that bergy only has one cup. But this also puts the team in a bind for next year when the window is still very open. So they are going to have to be very creative in order to fill the center position. I think they could get away with losing one center (Krejci or Bergeron) but not both without making a big move. I think their biggest trade asset is Swayman. So if you can acquire a legitimate 1/2C, I think you have to do it. But you don't trade him for less than a deal for 1/2C. I like Sway but I view him as a luxury if Ullmark continues his dominant play and the apparent strength in the system.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>In_it_to_winnik</b></div><div>Do you really think Bergeron is back next season? This seems like his last go. Could he be back and be productive? Absolutely but considering he was close to retiring last off season I don't expect to see him back. Either way what a career for him.

Could see them moving swayman if they get a C back. I don't ever count out Boston, but if they lose their top 2 centers they will need one. If O'Reilly reaches FA I'd expect them to be interested. I'd have to do some research on other potential options.</div></div>

He's a legend.

At the beginning of the season I thought this was his last go for sure. I've kind of come around to the idea that he might come back for one more. I think the coaching change has a lot do with it. They seem to be having so much fun, playing looser, and having success.

Whether or not he's able to perform at a top level will remain to be seen. This is why I think they need to make a move for a center this off season. It hasn't been officially reported but Krejci isn't coming back. I guess he only wanted one year back here.

So bc Krejci is gone, you'd need to fill either 2c or slide zacha to 2c and fill the hole at 2lw. Hypothetically, you could get away with re-signing bertuzzi but if Bergeron leaves then you have a massive hole.
