Player Discussion Torey Krug VII

[Don Cherry]

I don't it will happen until tomorrow

I would be surprised if nothing happened

The Bruins can't afford to and should not pay Krug higher than approx 6.5 million per season

Krug at 6.5 would be way better than OEL at 8.5 for the next seven.

 

[BAD BOY]

Krug at 6.5 would be way better than OEL at 8.5 for the next seven.

Krug turned down 6.5 that is a fact. Because if he didn’t he would be signed now. He is asking for 7.5-8M. Eight million I think pays him at the same level as Hedman. So what I’m asking you is do you want him at 6/44 - 6/48. That’s why he’s not signed and the Bruins are chasing dreams.

 

[NDiesel]

Krug at 6.5 would be way better than OEL at 8.5 for the next seven.

Would he though? We're adding size by replacing Krug with OEL - the guy isn't afraid to throw hits and can handle bigger forecheckers better. Plus Krug amassed more points this year, but the number one point scorer on Arizona was a guy who probably is a 3rd line center on our team - Nick Schmaltz. Imagine what OEL could do with the same weapons that Krug has had his career.

 

[AngryMilkcrates]

Just a note: Boston tried to sign Khudobin and he ended up walking away from the organization over half a million dollars in asking price.

Assuming Krug must be asking for millions more than the 6.5 offer is just that, an assumption.

It could be something as small as an impasse over a year in term or even half a million in yearly salary.

look hate to throw Krug under the bus a little here...

Can Krug kill penalties? Or handle big players? His skating is also mediocre...

OEL is a 6'2 top pairing LD that has been able to put up decent pt totals on a lowly Arizona team

On the Bruins this should increase increase.

not even close....Giving Krug any money is a waste at this point. He is simply not what we need on Defense. Too small and non physical. Tired of watching Tampa players run him over like road kill. OEL, is world class. Krug aint even in his ball park.

But, FWIW, a year would be huge here right? I mean a 7 year deal for Krug sounds awful. I wouldn't do 6.

 

[Don Cherry]

Krug at 5 for 35? Would anyone do that? Hopefully Krug would.

wha???



everybody using everybody here

I hope boston and krug can get it done at 7.25. Hes really good and under appreciated. One of the absolute best power play guys in the league. Gamer. Leader. Also hes durable. Hes missed under 40 games since 13-14. Thats just a few games a year. I also think hes not the defensive liability he used to be

If he is going to make top pairing money, then he needs to play top pair minutes and he doesn't and won't. He is a middle pairing guy at best, and defensively, anyone we roll on a third pairing is better with the possible exception of Cliffy. Yes, he is not the trainwreck in his own end that he used to be, but he's still not great. He doesn't kill penalties, can't go against top lines even second lines if the are good, not a guy you give 7 mil plus for.

He’d be tied with letang at 15th on cap hit at 7.25. Id rather krug at 7.25 than 7 of the 15 players ahead of him at their money (Letang included) right now.

Other players on bad deals is never the best argument for making a bad deal of your own. The Bruins were more than fair in 6.5 per for an offensively gifted PP specialist and 3rd pairing level defender. The savings is money better spent elsewhere.

i just like krug and what he brings. I think his reliability is overlooked. I think calling him a pp specialist is disrespectful. I hear pp speciasit i think MA bergeron. Krug isnt a pp specialist. He plays over 20 minutes a night and is the best pp quarterback in the nhl the last 6 years. I think what people dont appreciate the most is how good he is at keeping the puck in the zone on clear attempts. Hes the best in the league at that. Most of the great players on better deals didnt sign them as ufas which is what krug is.

 

[mflo77]

when krugs agent realizes that nobody is going to give him 7 x 8 million, he may circle back to the bruins 7 x 6.5 a year deal.

 

[smithformeragent]

This thing will end similarly to Rupert Holmes’ Pina Colada Song.

Krug, no longer feeling the love, lists his services as available in the newspaper “Help Wanted” section.

Sweeney reads about this puck moving points producer and sees his opportunity to upgrade from Krug.

They both show up to the bar and, upon seeing each other, laugh it up and get a deal done.

Plenty of bad teams will offer him big money. He can choose that or stay with the band at Marchand-Bergy-Pasta money.

His choice.

in a flat cap, potential no fans in 2021, i highly doubt any team offers him big money. by big i mean over 7.75 million.

admittedly its a tough choice. If i was given a job in which i could either have success at one salary for 7 years guaranteed or experience failure for 7 years guaranteed but for 14%+ more money. I probably just go be a failure professionally so my personal life wins. Thats me though

The last 6 years, are you sure? Karlsson was better until he fell off the last two years , that's just one off the top of my head.

No thanks.

He’s no way getting 7 years

 

[Coach Parker]

I'm with you. When the Bruins needed help or were in a tough defensive match-up it was Chara and McAvoy out there. This can't happen. If Krug indeed is the top pairing LHD and paid for it, then he has to be able to play it like OEL can.

I also really feel like his points and PP QB skills didn't shine in the Tampa Bay series' as well as the St.Louis series and that McAvoy should be given the chance to play there moving forward.

Chara and Krug combined to be an elite D in all parts of the game for the price of one. Now Krug wants all that money but not the minutes Chara had to play. Doesn't add up.

 

[Bodit9]

I love lots of things about Krug. But his next contract will be a disaster after 3 years.

 

[DKH]

Rights haven’t been traded

out to eat and wearing a Bruins hat

rumored 6X6.5 M offer which is what I been saying was the fairest offer

do the math
