Speculation: Is there a better fit for Krug than Winnipeg?

I’d argue that Boston is further ahead in their rebuild than Detroit if you look at the two teams 23 and under talent...

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
LA Kings would be... Doughty finally has a good partner and could use a LHD.
Not. Winnipeg. Morrissey is a better fit than any LHD in the league is for the Jets. Although, a Doughty-Morrissey pairing would be pretty sick.

Teams generally run 3 defensive pairings. Not sure Morrissey could handle being the LHD for all of them.
Krug has said he has two things on his mind for his next deal.
1) Where he wants to raise his family
2) The trade off between higher salary and having a chance of winning and how far he wants to be willing to go
He and his (Michigan born and raised) wife have made Boston their home and he has said he is willing to take a discount to stay. Of course, that could mean $1. Or it could mean "discount based from what I am going to ask on July 1st".
Boston has the cap space. But, do they want to give him the term? If he had a Shattenkirk like fall off would it be shocking at all? Unlike Shattenkirk he has shown the ability to up his game in the playoffs and is one of the leaders in the room. Its a hard choice. Especially when the Bruins have a few LD ready to make the jump to the NHL. And one in Gryz that is ready for top 4 duty. But they also have a top 4 LD that is 4,300 years old. Can they bring TWO new LD into the top 4 in the next couple of seasons? OH and the expansion draft adds another complication.
I have no idea if he will stay in Boston. I think both sides want it to work, but I also think that Boston wants it on their terms.

They have the contracts staggered nicely. As McAvoy (and Carlo) need new big deals older vets like Krejci will be falling off the payroll.

Krugs getting more then 7x7 and why would he have any interest what so ever in Calgary?
I think he gets exactly that, and he'd be interested in Calgary, because its his choice where he can play? idk i made a proposal for him, doesn't mean i know his interests and wants.
McAvoy, Carlo, Debrusk and who? Not much talent in the pipeline.
VS
Larkin, Zadina, Seider, Veleno, Rasmussen, Hronek, Lafreniere/Byfield/Drysdale
If you change it to 25 and under then you can also add Bertuzzi/Mantha/Fabbri for Detroit and Bjork/Rittchie for Boston.
I think you’d definitely give that edge to Detroit. Especially when you consider the stupid amount of Cap Space were about to have.
Well you missed the rocket winner for one lol.
Hockey News Future Watch had Studnicka and Vaakanainen as two of their top 10 highest risers this year (published in March). Vladar was the best goalie in the AHL this year by save % and GAA. Swayman was the best goalie in the NCAA by a lot. Lauzon isn’t sexy but had been a very solid addition to the Bruins this year.
If you want to move the posts to 25 you also forgot Kase, who certainly has a resume at least equal to Fabbri.
I don’t think a Wings fan should be talking about the use of cap lol. Bruins don’t have one bad contract. Krejci and Chara are expiring right on time. Bruins will have a lot of cash next summer too

I fully support Krug leaving Boston. I don't really care where he goes as long as it isn't to Tampa. No one serious about winning a Cup is going to Montreal. Their refusal to rebuild pretty much ensures they will never have a true star #1 C so they are just spinning their wheels. If Krug wants to go though, I'm totally ok with it.

He'd take that in Boston but not Calgary. No reason for him to go to Calgary they're not that close to contending probably lose Gaudreau in a year or two to free agency. So don't see it happening Krug will want between $8 to $9 million to play anywhere in Canada.
How many teams will have 7 million open for 1 single player this offseason? I'm going to stick with Krug getting 7M by 7 years, to a team any team, doesn't have to be the Flames, i made a proposal to the Bruins fan base, and i have a Red Wings fan asking me about it? What?!?! Lol
Kopitar, Bergeron/Krejci, RoR/Schenn ... Not every team has to go the Crosby route...

Tons hometown Detroit, Ottawa, New Jersey Buffalo I mean yeah there non-contenders but they wont always be non-contenders with the right pieces. But i guarantee you any team not named Boston will be paying Krug more then 7m per pretty much guarantee you that. Not sure Boston gets it done with 7x7 most insiders and NHL exes say that they're hearing that the Krug camp wants around 7+m to 8m per for at least 6 years to sign.
He won't be getting more than 7 per year in Boston.
I can see 7 years at 6.6-6.75 per
or
8 years at 6 per
I love Krug but I wouldn't want to commit more than 6 years to him that's why I believe he will move on.

You are arguing with someone who thinks the Red Wings have a shot at Krug but the Flames cant get him because they aren't a good enough team. Let that sink in....

Not arguing with anyone, Pure fact he's from Michigan pure fact he grew up a Red Wings fan. Pure fact he'd stated numerous times his desire to play in Detroit someday. Pure fact that all Canadian teams are on his no trade list. So yeah Krug is more then likely heading to Detroit then he would be heading for Calgary.
