Tomorrow’s Globe:
Torey Krug, still unsigned by the Bruins, can walk as an unrestricted free agent Oct. 9. If GM
Don Sweeney figures
there’s no chance to reach a deal, he can wheel the defenseman’s rights by the night of Oct. 8. It would allow the acquiring club to sign Krug to an eight-year deal rather than only seven years. And the Bruins might land a third-round pick. Not much, but better than losing Krug for nothing. Krug, when our faithful puck chronicler asked him about considering his fit with the Bruins: “You can make all the money in the world and have all the security in the world, but if you’re not comfortable in the situation, if you’re not happy, then every day it’s going to be tough to get up and be excited to show up to work and give it your all. Obviously, I’ve made it well known that I feel very comfortable in Boston — I like my role here, I am comfortable with the coach, and I love my teammates. It’s no secret and it’s a big part of the decision.”
