Barely Irrelevant
conjecture post: love him as a number 3 and the reason is i think he can cover a ton of ground in a hurry and if 'told' to be a more tenacious defender and stop hopping up the right wing wall so much, he will own defending (his pivots are insane and his positioning and strength are very good for his size). the reason i prefaced this post as i did is because i think you're asking him to be a 25 point dman when he can be a 45 point dman to do that.
i think this is part of why dougie left.
When did I ask him to be a 25 pt d-man? Pretty sure he had 40 pts last year playing a little over 19 minutes per game in the role I described?
As I already said, I love Krug and his game, but I'm not sure he can play a regular shift in the Top 4 because of size limitations. That's not a shot at Krug, but you don't want him on the ice against larger power forwards because he will get overwhelmed.
I hope he proves me wrong, it would solve a lot of problems for the B's.
