Boston Bruins: Will Torey Krug leave and, if he does, who will replace him?
We’d need to see the Bruins tail off before believing a window was truly closed on this team, but questions about how much longer they can sustain their success are beginning to become real. Torey Krug can be a UFA as of Friday and indicated he wouldn’t take a shorter term or less money to make it work easily in Boston. Jake DeBrusk and Matt Grzelcyk are RFAs and the Bruins still have to ink Zdeno Chara to a short-term extension — all with $14.4 million in cap room. They’ve been connected to Ekman-Larsson, whose full cap hit is a hefty $8.25 million for another seven years. We don’t know what the cap will do in coming years, but Tuukka Rask is a year away from becoming a UFA, and Patrice Bergeron is two years away. Krug would leave a big hole that wouldn’t easily be filled under budget and with longer-term considerations for their best, but ageing, players.
