I hope Krug goes soon so we can spend assets to shore up our defense at the trade deadline every season with premier puck-moving defensemen such as Andrei Meszaros and Wade Redden.
Krug just roasted Marchand on twitter, hahahaha

Points by D last 3 seasons
Krug is a elite offensive D one of the best in the entire NHL
the defense drives the offense take him out of our lineup and our fowards and offense will struggle
Krug will be extremely hard to replace
Bruins’ Torey Krug draws praise from Ray Bourque - The Boston Globe
All Krug lovers and haters need to read this article.
I sure hope so - the kid is a straight up winner and a role model to the young guys breaking in. He does it all the right way.I expect Krug to get his money, but i think he'll leave money on the table. I just get the feeling that Donnie and Torey have a good appreciation of each other. I think he'll still be here next contract.
Krug is jenkel and hyde. On the o zone and part of the game he is very good. Down low and on the d aspect of the game, not that much.
Just my take, but I find (generally) that shorter players tend to do well in their late 20s to mid 30s.I am far more concerned with the term of Krug's next contract than I am the cap hit or AAV.
I'm a big fan of Krug but I have really only two concerns with him. One is his durability, the other is his legs and skating. They kinda go hand in hand.
Even though he's an elite-level point producing D-man, he isn't the greatest skater IMO. Not that's he's bad, but his skating is average-to-above average. He'll be 29 when his new contract begins, what will his skating be like when he's 33 or 34 on a 4-5 year deal with another half-decade of wear and tear under his belt?
My point is Krug is what he is. I do not say Krug ain’t important to Boston, neither they should trade him. If they do, they need the correct return. If you look at this type of d, most were and are like hyde and jenkel... except few exception.yep, but the question will be if they are entertaining moving him, do they believe whomever they get in return, combined with what they already have, be able to absorb the loss of a guy who has done nothing other than put up between 40-almost 60 pts yearly ? That`s a ton of production lost on the back end
Can't wait for them to trade him just to read the whining about lack of offensive production from the back end.

You mean, it isn't easy to find 59-point (in less than 82GP) defenders in the NHL?
Pretty sure they grow on trees.You mean, it isn't easy to find 59-point (in less than 82GP) defenders in the NHL?

Not for nothing but McAvoy has over 40 points in 80 games, our D won't look like when we traded Wideman. Of course Mac staying healthy is important but while no one is on Krug's level it is also not a situation where Chara is our second best puck mover.
