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.
