Last year Bergeron averaged more TOI per game, the year before he averaged more TOI per game, the year before he also averaged more TOI. This year early on Krecji has finally played more minutes per game than Bergeron, so outside of your labels what exactly makes Krecji the number 1 center on the team if Bergeron is consistently playing more minutes than he is?

Krecji is the top minutes player on the Bruins this year.
Once the playoffs start, Bergeron takes a back seat in TOI and production. Krecji is one of the biggest cluth players in the NHl.
