Krug and Smith contract extension

Just got a mobile update that Krug signed a one year extension and two years for Reilly smith.

@NHLBruins: Bruins sign Krug to a 1-year contract extension and Smith to a 2-year contract extension. Read more for details: http://t.co/0lUXZeg165 ^BB

Hmm, I wonder what the cap hits are.

 

[Danton Heineken]

Good deal for Krug, bad deal for Smith.

 

[dredeye]

Don't like those dollars much but to be expected I guess. Just saw the alert on my phone and was hoping for lesser dollars. Especially for smith

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

Wow. It's debatable Krug earned his contract, but that Smith contract is just brutal.

3.425 seems a little high for Smith, IMO.

 

[Ivyy13]

Don't like Smith's contract.

 

[Sheppy]

Damn, was hoping they'd lock Krug up for a few years.

 

[TheBigBadB]

Looks like 3.4 mil for each.. Little rich or good?

 

[alg363636]

I'm okay with Krug's but Smith is not a 3.4 million dollar player.

Hope it's a sign and deal in the off-season.

 

[Fenian24]

Good deal for Krug, bad deal for Smith.

Yup, way to much for a guy that is looking more and more like a 15 goal third liner.

Smith-Kelly-Eriksson the 11 million dollar third line.

Love the Krug extension.

 

[qc]

Meh.

 

[BigBadBruin8]

Don't really like the $$ for either deal. Not at all. Especially not Smith.

Be interesting to see if one or both are dealt in the offseason with their contracts signed.

 

[Ivyy13]

Think this pretty much spells the end of the Soderberg era.

 

[Mainehockey33]

Now we can trade Smith for a defenseman in the offseason hopefully... Chiarelli can't intend on keeping 4 top 9 RWers, can he?

 

[iiBruins17*]

terrible

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Terrible.

 

[HHHH]

I would have preferred Krug signed for two years...

 

[Rubber Biscuit]

Don't like the term for Krug and it's slightly too much for Smith.

 

[4ORRBRUIN]

Just ok, not great by any means.

 

[hooked]

It would have been better at this $$ if Krug was the 2 year and Smith got 1. Full no movement clauses?

 

[Man Rocket]

Krug was going to get a raise people, look at the points he puts up from the backend. I dont know why some are complaining about Krugs deal.

Smiths deal is just yuck

 

[mislysBB]

Yeah. Not liking the Smith deal. At all.

 

[Jorah Marshmont]

So who of Chara, Krejci, Bergeron, or Lucic are we saying bye to in the offseason?
