I can see it as a PR move, too- "we gave Torey a more than fair offer to remain a Bruin" rather than all the speculation that they gave him some sort of insulting extension offer.

A page out of the book that Sinden wrote. Wasn't to help him out, it's PR.

Assuming the 6x$6.5 is accurate
It's a fair offer but clearly not the most he can make. ...the gap between what he purportedly wants and the Bs offer is $13.5million
people can argue that he has made a lot of money and it shouldn't matter but let's be real.....$13.5million is a LOT of money to pass up. Especially when you know on the open market at least one team ( Detroit anyone) will pony it up and maybe more.

anyone know why this is taking so long?
Just take the highest draft pick offered
Can anyone see a team giving up higher than a 4th for signing rights?

Was thinking the same thing.
Maybe they gave him til 5pm to make a decision on their offer?
At this point watch him take the deal which I am absolutely fine with
If you want be a cynic, fine. I tend to think DS has been pretty fair to his players, so I think this is likely a nice gesture. But whatever it is, it better have 0% chance of getting signed. There's no way I'd want him here on that contract.
FWIW, I think no matter what term the Bruins give there is no way he would see out the end of the contract. B's window is clearly 2 years at best, anything after that I assume a tear down where Krug is dealt.

Big fan of Krug my take
6.5x6 solid anc I’d probably take it if him UNLESS my agent knows I got the Spurgeon-like deal coming
plus I’d be a bit butt hurt (but I’m baby as most of you figured out by now) nothing till the end
I’m Sweeney I leak it if I meant it or knew he was gone for the PR
Giving him or anyone 6 years in the year they turn 30 I’m not a fan of
I think Grzelcyk can take over his 5X5 with Carlo and they will be even better
I still think Sweeney told Jack Ahcan agent they weren’t signing 47
I really don’t believe this is legit unless Sweeney knew Krug gone
also not good for Chara

I just want to avoid any more Backes-type disasters and any long-term deal for Krug gives me that vibe. Maybe not as bad, but he's not gonna get any faster or stronger as he ages. Let someone else take on those years and let's spend that dough elsewhere.
Related, I assume that Trader Donny is waiting until the Finals are over before he gets going on all that activity he promised right? In this realm, I share your cynicism!!!

I think this is a bigger loss to the team than can be appreciated right now. Losing Krug on top of your existing holes in the roster adds to Sweeney’s work this offseason to bring in more offense, if we are expected to go for it next season.
Yes. Believe the interview period for UFAs under the RTP x CBA agreement was eradicated in the new deal.
Now, teams have to wait until the UFA period begins to gauge interest in a player signing with their club, instead of beforehand where you could reach out and gauge.
It gives the acquiring team an exclusive chance to negotiate and potentially stop said player from ever hitting the open market. If you hold his rights as a UFA, you can negotiate while others can’t even gauge interest until the frenzy begins.
If a team truly wants to land Krug before anyone else and he’s their guy, a higher pick to ensure it gets done and doesn’t go to a bid is potentially possible. If more and more teams are pressing for him, then the likelihood of a bid increases. More interest, more value.
Adam Fox, while a different player and prospect at the time, had his rights traded for a second-round pick and also a third-round pick in the following year’s draft. He’s much younger, but he also hadn’t played a kick of professional hockey before and fetched that return.
Depending on how badly an opposing team wants him and wants to get him signed, I could see a later second-round pick or third-round pick. Vatrano’s RFA rights went for a third-round pick to Florida, as well.
There’s a certain lost peanut lurking around here who could clarify or refute me I’m sure...

GMs cann be slow when there is no deadlines.
Also, there could be players involved and not just a pick. Why make two separate deals when you can just make one.
6X6.5 is a touch high but I'd do it if he would sign the contract.
Don't think he will which is totally fine too. I'll miss the player, but he's earned the right to go make bank.

You can never get a legit trade rumor from these guys, they are under lock and key, but when they don't want a guy, forget it, they give any and all info anyone could ever want.
Bruins reportedly offer Torey Krug a six-year deal
The Boston Bruins remain in talks with pending unrestricted free agent Torey Krug, with their latest offer coming in at $6.5 million per year for the next six years, according to TSN's Frank Seravalli.
That would add up to $39 million over the next six years, and a modest $1.25 million per year raise from Krug's current salary. But based on the current chatter, with the Bruins exploring the idea of trading Krug's negotiating rights according to both Seravalli and Rear Admiral from Barstool Sports, Krug's camp is not interested in such a deal.
That $6.5 million per year cap hit may be close to the B's ceiling for Krug, too, with just under $14.5 million in available cap space this summer, and with the Bruins needing to come to terms with restricted free agents Jake DeBrusk and Matt Grzelcyk.
Getting Krug in at that price would leave the Bruins with under $8 million in available space, and while that may be enough to re-up their RFAs (and sign Zdeno Chara to another low-money deal), it would seriously restrict the B's ability to bolster their forward group, which once again feels like a need after another postseason run with extremely limited secondary scoring.
====================================================================
IMO opinion thats a solid offer. If not to his liking - see ya.

It would be if you really thought 6 @ 6.5m is an insult. I think many will see it as a fair contract (or even a bit of overpay) for a fairly one dimensional PP specialist who doesn't defend particularly well.

It's a fair offer, which is what scares me. He could get more on the market for sure, but he apparently loves it here.
Again I hope this has just become public either for PR or to help him out, or both. I'd be very disappointed if they worked out a deal that had 6 years to it. That seems really shortsighted to me.
The non-lunatic fringe will gobble up the headline "well the Bruins tried. Torey didn't want to be here"
I hope he can get more and take it because we need a top 6 forward addition and you probably aren't getting that with Krug re-signed at that rate- you are getting the standard "winger on a budget"
