Could have never seen Krug leaving 2 years ago. Weird


For crazy money though I could see why Bruins don’t wanna play ball though

Why Vegas? Krug's a LHD.

 

[A Loyal Dog]

I wish Montreal went after him and not useless Edmundson.

I’m sure we could have convinced Krug to give us a chance and play with his great bud, Jeff Petry. Montreal just made too much sense, considering he’s exactly the defenseman we’ve been longing for...

 

[The Duck Knight]

Hopefully not Vegas. He's really not the type of player we need.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Boston should keep him. Their PP is a huge part of their success, and they have a good cap situation anyway

 

[kthx]

Its 99% Red Wings. Krug has earned his money.

 

[Canuck86]

Does Krug want crazy term or $$$...Seems like the Team has never even tried to engaged in an extension with him, very odd for a team lacking point producing D

 

[bhar]

He's from Michigan so maybe he has stated his desire is to only play there and cash in?

 

[16thOverallSaveUs]

Let’s get all the good free agents in the east to play against Pittsburgh

Yeah it feels weird to me too. They aren't exactly the deepest team in the league and Krug is a proven force on the PP. I get not wanting to pay for a player who is going to start declining but Krug is the type of vet that will still be useful even 5 years down the road on a contender.

RA breaking trades now?

 

[BatVader]

Please not Winnipeg

Coming home to Detroit, Book it 7 x $7,500,000

Yup hometown Detroit will throw the brinks truck at Torey.

He was never a fit here, Krug is effective because Boston used him to his strengths. He makes a deep d core into a really good one, we couldn't have given him the 76% ozone starts that Boston did. Whoever ends up with him will no doubt get their worth from it, Montreal was not that team.

Reportedly anywhere from 7 x $7,500,000 to 7 x $8,000,000

If he can get it, good for him, but that’s an ugly contract.

 

[SI90]

Interesting. Krug is a really good player. Interesting to see if he signs or waits to go to UFA

Childhood team, Blashill was his coach in Juniors and Krug has said that he'd love to play for him again. Both family oriented there in Michigan him and his wife close to their families. Stayed in Michigan during Covid.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Agree he's not worth more more then 5 x $6,500,000 at the very most. Just a bad feeling that Yzerman will overpay for his services.

 

[Fatass]

I wonder what his rights are worth? A third? Which ever team trades for his rights likely has a lot of confidence they will sign him. It has to be a team that can pay him what he wants. I’m saying Krug is a Wing soon.

 

[UConn126]

As a B's fan, it will be sad to see Torey go, but it makes sense. Bruins need the cap space to spend on building a real second line, and they have a surplus of left shot defensemen in the system. While Krug's offensive production will be missed, I think there will be other possible ripples. I think getting Carlo a more defensively sound partner will unlock more of his offensive potential, instead of him having to always cover for Krug.

Hope not Vegas.

Still holding on to the extremely small chance that Petro makes it to free agency and signs with the Knights.
