Boston gets a top offensive d-man to help their power play. Anaheim gets a second line center to play behind Getzlaf and take some of the burden off their first line. Phoenix gets an elite, first line goal scorer. I think the value is fairly even and it fills needs for all three teams.

Phoenix wants a centre, not a D. Not to nit pick, but the value is ok, although I see Boston winning this. But pass from Phoenix.
I'd rather keep Bobby and go with what we have. From the sound of things, that's what our organization is looking to do. Our top rookie last year was a center, our top prospect in Norfolk is a center, and our top rookie forward in Norfolk is also a center.
This deal would probably benefit both the Ducks and the Bruins (probably should be an additional piece coming from Boston), but I think Phoenix would be better off looking for a center than a winger if they decide to deal a defenseman.
IF Krejci were dealt, it'd most likely be for an upgrade at wing ASSUMING Boston was confident Seguin was ready to hold down a top center role.. Right now, nobody knows if he'll become a regular at wing or center.
Also with Hamilton in the system, there isn't an urgent need for a top pairing dman, especially not at the cost of Krejci.
Boston passes on this deal easily. Top line centers are hard to find, it's why they're highly sought after.
Maybe if Boston sent a 2nd 2013 to Anaheim along with Krejci. Otherwise Boston makes out like bandits and Anaheim get fleeced.
"Fleeced"?? Based on what? They're both top line players, both average mid- 60's for points. Ryan more of a scorer, Krejci more a setup man. Why would Anaheim get "fleeced"??
