The Bruins center has been living in the Czech Republic for weeks now, but was unable to officially join HC Paradubice after having trouble securing a large insurance policy. Krejci, a Czech native, announced he would sign with the Extra Liga team some time ago and could play with his new team as early as this weekend.
