Petr Hemsky -- father of Ales, GM of Czech league outfit Pardubice -- has announced his club has agreed to terms with Boston Bruins center David Krejci.

One delay in signing,was cost of insuring his present NHL contract with Boston Bruins.Estimated in the range of $240 000 to do so. #TSN

Rumors of Krejci signing with the Czech Extraliga club broke several weeks ago when it was learned Ales Hemsky was set to join -- Hemsky played at both the junior and senior levels with Pardubice, before joining QMJHL Hull in 2000.

The signing means Pardubice now has three locked-out NHLers in the fold: Krejci, Hemsky and Detroit Red Wings forward Jakub Kindl.

The club also employs ex-NHLers Kris Beech and Ales Pisa.
