TSN is saying it's a 3-year $15.75 million deal (source). That's a $5.25 million annual cap hit.
And the contract has a limited no-trade clause in the final two years.
Krejci's deal, a three-year $15.75 million deal with a limited no-trade clause in the final two years, was actually signed prior to Wednesday's game against the Maple Leafs. Peter Chiarelli joked that he likes to think it put Krejci in the right frame of mind to go out and rack up three points in the win over Toronto.

After Wednesday's game against Toronto, David Krejci was asked about the trade rumors surrounding him. Here's his response via CSNNE:
"I love the city. I love the team. Everybody really gets along well. We are winning," said Krejci when asked about the trade rumors. "I like to be on a winning team and I like to have a chance to win the Cup. This is the team, you know? I would like to have a chance to stay here."

From the Bruins site:
The 25-year-old Krejci was drafted by the Bruins in the 2nd round (63rd overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. He has skated in 318 career NHL games – all with Boston – and has registered 62 goals and 165 assists for 227 points. Krejci has tied for the Bruins team lead in points in each of the last two seasons, tallying 52 points in 2009-10 and 62 points in 2010-11. He set career highs in goals, assists, points, games played and plus/minus during the 2008-09 season after tallying 22-51=73 totals in 82 games with a +37 rating.

During the Bruins 2010-11 Stanley Cup Championship run, Krejci finished as the NHL's playoff scoring leader with 12 goals and 11 assists for 23 points in 25 games, becoming the first Bruin to do so since Phil Esposito and Bobby Orr shared the postseason scoring title in 1972. His 12 playoff goals included four gamewinners (three of which came against the Philadelphia Flyers in the Eastern Conference Semifinals) and one hat trick (Game 6 loss versus Tampa in Eastern Conference Finals). He also had the primary assist on Nathan Horton's gamewinning goal against Tampa in Game Seven that propelled the Bruins to their first Cup Final since 1990.
For his playoff career, Krejci has compiled 44 points in 52 postseason contests with 19 goals and 25 assists.
