Confirmed Signing with Link: [BOS] Torey Krug re-signs in Boston (4 years, $5.25M AAV)

[DangleCity]

A little pricey for a PP guy

He's not just a PP specialist

 

[satbank]

eh it's not bad but it's not good either.

 

[kk87]

Meh, probably should've been around $4.5. Not a horrible deal though.

 

[Coach Parker]

He took less money on his last deal IIRC so I can live with a slight overpay here. They needed to keep him around

This.

WE all knew when he took the last deal that this one would make up the 500k / year difference and it did.

Happy to have him signed!

 

[Coach Parker]

Last three seasons:

OEL: 239 games, 72 ESP, 69 PPP

Krug: 238 games, 71 ESP, 52 PPP

Thanks for posting this.

Boston asked him to play a more complete game and work on his ES over the last contract. It worked and he is now a great top four defenseman and is being paid accordingly.

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

Is Krug making more then Hammer in Chicago?

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Surprised he didn't have a few more goals last year. He has a great shot right? I guess Z takes away some of those?

it was ridiculous how snake bit he was last season. it eventually became comical.

 

[HockeyMomx2]

Overpaid. He's a PP specialist. Should have been in the $4.5 range. I doubt the $750K breaks them though.

He's a 2nd line dman that's pretty good at that job in addition to playing on the PP.

 

[Cubs2024wildcard]

He's a 2nd line dman that's pretty good at that job in addition to playing on the PP.

Well, considering Karlsson is a first line dman this isn't a bad contract.


I kid I kid....


(Seeing myself out)

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

Decent deal. Not bad, not great.

 

[Rebels57]

He's a 2nd line dman that's pretty good at that job in addition to playing on the PP.

$5.25 is a lot for a 2nd pairing defensemen though. That's #2 money.

Either way, it's not an EGREGIOUS overpayment and he is staying in Boston so good for them. I would be happy if I were a Bruins fan and not squabble over $750K.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

A little pricey, but he did go cheap last season. Also a super reliable player so it's not like he's gonna get worse or anything.

Okay with it.

He also didn't do much to really deserve a raise, in my opinion at least.

Tad higher than I expected... and well like most of the Bruins contracts with the exception of Bergeron, a tad higher than it should be.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Considering what he means to Bostons defence going forward it's an okay deal. Guy will be on their top pair for awhile, leaned on heavily if Chara ever decides to retire.

 

[lomiller1]

So more that Reilly, more that Klingberg, almost as much as Seth Jones.

Seems a little high to me.

 

[Burt Reynolds]

it was ridiculous how snake bit he was last season. it eventually became comical.

I would say it was less being snake bitten than it was his shoulder injury. He had to have surgery in April, right after the season ended. I'd be willing to literally guarantee he hits double digits in goals next season.

 

[jw2]

Should have been longer and cheaper. But it's not horrible. Hopefully it won't be, either.

 

[RiceCooker]

A little bit more than I thought he would get and I like Krug , but the term is good

 

[Raging Bull]

Nothing wrong with that price over that term for a solid offensive defenseman.

If your 2nd pairing guys are warriors, leaders, can put up points and good defensively then everything else is secondary. The undervaluing of players like this is criminal.

Nice deal. Grats Bruins fans.

 

[Laggin70]

This is a great signing by a great team.

Good luck next year.

 

[BruinLVGA]

This is a great signing by a great team.

Good luck next year.

Classy!

Thank you and likewise!

 

[veganbruin]

He's currently our best all around defenseman. Bit of an overpay, but we can't afford to lose him.

 

[robertocarlos]

Are you still taking Trouba for $9.4 million and 4 first round picks?

 

[buttman*]

Should have traded him to Edmonton for Hall.

 

[PB37]

He would have got more on the open market

Yup. Plus, the deal is eating into some of his UFA years. He'll be 29 by the time this deal is up. This is a fair deal for one of the better offensive defensemen in the league.
