Player Discussion How high AAV would you go for Krug?

[wintersej]

I hate to make a different Krug thread, but would love to see the results of this poll before the playoffs start.

Assuming a 6 year deal to make it easier... how high would you be willing to go to keep Krug on this current roster?

What would you spend the money on if you did let Krug walk?

How would you pay Krug if you were willing to give him 8+?

I think 6.5-7M is more than fair but anything over 7 is where I would draw the line.

I love Krug though and hope they find a way to get him re-signed. He's too important to this offense.

 

[easton117]

6.5 max. I’m not enamoured with the idea of 6 years either.

 

[prizminferno]

would go to 7-8 if he would take a 3 year deal (he won't), so 6.5

same here. I went with 7 but thats my max.

 

[Smitty93]

I went $6.5 max, but it really depends on the length of the contract. I'm definitely not touching 7 or 8 years at any number. Would prefer $6.5 x 5 years, and I'd probably want it even lower if it was 6 years.

 

[Sheppy]

6.75, I think people underrate him a bit because he's "not that good" defensively while saying " Gryz or McAvoy can fill his void on the PP"

 

[TP]

6x6.

 

[TD Charlie]

6x6.

i think that’s where I’m at also, and i don’t think it gets it done. He’s probably worth more on a shorter deal but i don’t think i would bite if I’m Sweeney.

 

[Shroud of Orrin]

The Ryan Ellis deal - 8 X 6.25 in in his 28th year last year is the deal that will be used as the leverage I bet. Krug is better than Ellis. As much as I'd like 6.5 X 6 I'd say it looks more like 7.25 minimum by this comparison. Likely 7.5. It's more than most any of us will go. Has he earned a 2 million per raise...yup. Figure it out Don. Trade a 3rd and Moore to Seattle for a 6th or some such and Lauzon is good to go. Just do something...

 

[Pia8988]

7. There are 6 Bruins I would say are off limits if it meant keeping Krug.

 

[EvilDead]

6, maybe 6.5. Any higher than that and I'm out.

 

[CDJ]

6.5

I’m concerned w how covid will impact the cap with teams having less revenue

 

[JRull86]

I voted 6.5, but realistically they can make 7 work.

I think the bigger thing here is term.

 

[JOKER 192]

With all due respect I gotta cap it at 6.

With a flat cap for what will likely be several years and likely many more than we think,with an eye on the up coming expansion draft, that's as far as I would go. It's been said many times on these boards and I will re-iterate, there are many ways to skin a cat.

Is that fair to Krug? Probably not, but since when has life been fair?

 

[Aussie Bruin]

7 but I'd hope for a little less than that. Krug's got to be looking for at least 5 years at this point, and I'd say the max term I'd be comfortable with would be 6.

I think both Boston and Krug would be content with 5-6 years; the sticking point is likely the price. I'd be very surprised if Sweeney offers more than 7x6, maybe 7.5 at the absolute most. But I strongly suspect he can get a little more than that on the open market. So it's entirely up to him and what he wants.

Personally I'd like to see him stay but not at any cost - if he wants and can get more than 7 than I say thanks Torey and good luck to you.

7.575

I’d love to pretend he’s going to come in under what Spurgeon got but I just can’t see it, especially with the open market salivating for a game changing D man on the ice who’s an impeccable leader off it.

Take it from John Moore if you have to I don’t care.

 

[BAD BOY]

7.5 ... if he wanted more give him more dough in the beginning of the contract and less at the back end. That’s fair I think

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

My max is Marchand-Bergy-Pasta money so under 7M for max 6y.

 

[member 96824]

I do always love these threads though in a vacuum as if Don Sweeney doesn’t have an impeccable record of being a cap sheet Robinhood, taking from the good and giving to the bad.

The more we pay Torey, the less flexibility we give Don to sign Corey Perry to a 4 year, 16 million contract, so it’s a double win.

That's not Robin Hood, that's King John, otherwise known as Marc Bergevin.

 

[Mr. Make-Believe]

Yeah I’m at six as well. And Krug can do better.

 

[Spooner st]

7.5 no trade clause, keep until we have a chance for a cup, then trade for picks assets.

 

[member 96824]

Question for the six crew.

Torey Krug’s last deal was 7.19% of the cap.

7.19% of the cap today is 5.859M

How did you land on deciding Krug essentially has not raised his value to the Bruins since June 2016?

 

[Dr Hook]

He deserves a raise. He is better and more important to the team than when he signed his last deal. I'm with those that worry about the term. I put 6.5 but 7 per is reasonable for him, just not at 5+ years.
