Well there goes Krug's value for a trade... but we could get some LTIR relief

It does connect the dots on that move... I'm still not a fan of having Suter thoughWell.... maybe that's why we signed Suter
Warm body is warm body. Hopefully one of POJ or Perunovich can take the open spot and run with it.It does connect the dots on that move... I'm still not a fan of having Suter though
Pre-arthritis, also known as stage zero or pre-osteoarthritis (pre-OA), is a normal, healthy joint before the disease develops. It can also refer to an early stage of OA when cellular damage is starting to occur, but there are no clinical signs or symptoms. For example, a knee might have risk factors for pre-OA, but no pain, normal radiographs, or structural changes on MRI or arthroscopy.
Sucks for Krug if it would indeed be a career ender, but in terms of salary cap relief it would open a nice chunk of change up for us moving forward.What professional hockey player his age doesn’t have this??
Seems like he’ll be LTIRd, possibly LTIRetired, because his ankle might one day develop arthritis…maybe.
This is hilarious.
I would be pretty surprised if that was the case. In JR's article he said the Blues announced "The club said in a statement that the injury is “a cumulative result of a bone fracture suffered earlier in his playing career.” So it seems its an actual injury.What professional hockey player his age doesn’t have this??

Not really any cap relief. At least not with where they’re currently at with the Cap. LTIR allows you to replace the cap by the amount you go over the Cap. The Blues were around $7M under the cap so this wouldn’t even take them over the cap.Sucks for Krug if it would indeed be a career ender, but in terms of salary cap relief it would open a nice chunk of change up for us moving forward.
Yeah, I’m calling BS on this. Pre-arthritic changes? Really? What 33 year old player doesn’t have some joint issues? Maybe there’s a real issue but this seems fishy as heck to me.I would be pretty surprised if that was the case.

I do think there is a good chance he misses this season but I doubt he is going to go the LRIRetired route.
If that's the case, I'm not surprised he wouldn't waive for Anaheim. It's far from home for him and his family, and they are further from being a playoff contender than we are.
Def has the vibe that Armstrong has had enough of the Krug era. No one to blame but himself. But he’s had enough."Oh you don't want to waive, take the year off and we'll find you somewhere next year"

I mean, it is Krug, he was going to get injured at some point this seasonPersonally I am not a fan of using IR to get out of contract you don't want, whether its for cap circumvention, cap space or whatever. I have been critical of other teams doing it so it would hypocritical of me to like this move for the Blues if that's what they are doing. If what Pagnotta is saying is true that Krug nixed another trade I could see Army signing all these 1 way defense contracts and telling Krug he is going to have to compete for ice time this year and possibly be waived. Then boom suddenly Krug has a mysterious injury that could keep him out for a long time.
