Terrible deal. Just spend a little more for Pietrangelo. Krug is a massive downgrade. 7 years?!? Now we have 2 Faulks

 

[TheDizee]

Krug is not a massive downgrade. He is a 50pt+ Dman who like 27 rarely gets hurt. And hes roughly 2million a season cheaper.

This is a fantastic signing IMO and enables us to keep the window open. Take off the homer glasses.

Thanks for the cup 27 and I wish you nothing but the best.

 

[Stealth JD]

Krug and Pietrangelo, please. Dump Steen, Faulk, Bozak & Dunn. Should be no issue with a flat cap, right?

 

[Novacain]

I'm pretty f***ing fed up right now, not gonna lie.

 

[blues80]

Petro was spotted at vegas airport

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Krug is overrated and not nearly the point producer away from Boston's powerplay.

Doug Armstrong should be fired immediately.

 

[TruBlu]

DA knew petro wasn't staying. No way he makes this signing unless he knew the score. Thank you to DA for not making us the next Chicago.

 

[Stealth JD]

So the left side of the defense is now Krug, Dunn, Scandella & Gunnarsson.
The right side is Parayko, Faulk, Bortuzzo & Perunovich?

What the f*** ever

 

[Mike Liut]

Krug was great in the cup

 

[TheDizee]

Krug:
28 of his 49pts on PP last season
30 of his 53pts the season before

27:
15 of his 41 pts on PP last season
22 of his 52pts on PP season before

Not a huge difference. The only real concerns from Blues fans should be if this guy can truly handle being a #1 dman and since he helped take Boston on numerous deep runs, that really is not a big concern for me. Also his +- is a lil low.

Big fan of this deal, ESPECIALLY FOR THE PRICE.

 

[Prosaic]

Blasphemy.
We could’ve had both if DA didn’t stupidly acquire Faulk...which is one of the worst contracts in the league. I have nothing against Krug but this is ridiculously stupid.

Woof.

Woof what?

It would be better with Pietrangelo, but that's still a pretty good d-core.

[Louie the Blue]

Losing Petro sucks, but that doesn’t mean Krug’s a bad player or that the contract’s bad

 

[Stealth JD]

that is bottom-half of the league, quite easily. from top-5 to bottom-half in a span of 19 months.

Doesn’t really seem like Pietrangelo is cooperating.

You forgot one small thing here.


Dmen NEEDS TO DEFEND ALSO NOT PRODUCE POINTS.

 

[Dr Robot]

Honestly Id rather have no one than Krug. We are still facing cap issues even without Petro. Unless Petro said 100% he needed the deal backloaded and buyout proof and ownership said thats not possible this one stings.

 

[ItsOnlytheRiver]

Gonna have to let this sink in, but I’m not happy right now.

 

[Novacain]

I don't think this is a bad contract and he's a good player. The Krug thing doesn't piss me off that much

I DO hold it against Armstrong that he basically buried himself with the stupid Faulk trade and the stupider Faulk contract though.

 

[BadgersandBlues]

I think everyone is overreacting to this a bit. Krug is a really good hockey player. That's a fair contract for him and it helps balance our pairings. In a vacuum, this is a good deal. AP had all the time in the world to sign with us, he's had all day to make a decision b/t basically us or Vegas....we've offered the dude 64 million dollars if the reports are to be believed......say what you want, but if that's not bringing him home, then /shrug what are you gonna do?
