David Krejci breaks silence on impending retirement after 16-year NHL career

In a recent interview, Boston Bruins veteran David Krejci openly discussed his potential retirement from professional hockey.

With the recent retirement of Patrice Bergeron, Krejci's future has been a subject of speculation among Boston fans.

Over the last decade, Krejci has been a crucial player for the Bruins. In an impressive career spanning 1,032 games, he has registered 786 points, leaving an indelible mark on the NHL.

Furthermore, Krejci's contributions during the playoffs, leading the Bruins in points on multiple occasions, most notably during their 2011 Stanley Cup Championship run, have secured his status as a Boston legend.

In a recent interview with Sport.cz, he offered some insight into his mindset. Notably, he stated that he would not rush the process and was willing to take his time to make the right call.

"I don't think I'm going to 99 percent start the season anywhere. In the NHL, in the Czech Republic, not even in Europe. If it takes me up until Christmas to decide, it takes until Christmas," David Krejci said.

David Krejci's remarkable career

Krejci played a pivotal role in the Bruins' Stanley Cup victory in 2011 and led the league in points during the 2011 and 2013 Stanley Cup playoffs.

Krejci won the Golden Stick Award as the best ice hockey player in the Czech Republic in 2013 and received the plus-minus award twice in the NHL.

While Krejci's success in the NHL has been remarkable, his international achievements tell a different story. Despite putting up 35 points in 44 games, he was never able to secure anything better than a bronze medal.

He's represented the Czech national team in three Olympics, but was unable to secure a medal at any of those events, with his highest finish being sixth place.
