Looks balanced. The B's took the same trade for Kessel, although Kessel was a 3rd liner at the time, and wasn't fitting in, and Boston had salary cap issues. I don't think its Krejci who nixes this deal, but the Bruins' front office. This is Chara's last year on his monster contract, and they squeaked into the playoffs last year. They'd much rather keep top six centers than lose them, and if they did take this trade, it means they're starting a rebuild. To get Krejci in the summer, you'd have to give back someone of immediate value.
