Value of: Is there a trade market for Torey Krug?

[Stealth JD]

He's in year two of seven, with an annual cap hit of $6.5M/yr.
Five years remaining beyond this one. Ages 31 through 35 during those years.

He's been fine for STL...not great, not bad...earning what's probably a fair wage considering the price of D-men.
He's a fine 2nd-pairing guy and good PP1 QB who can capitalize off of favorable matchups drive offense, but the Blues have a similar-sized offensive guy coming and could use the opportunity to shuffle up the defense and salary cap. STL won't pay to get rid of him, as this isn't a cap-dump situation, but would likely consider offers from a team looking for an offensive LHD during the next 12-months.

Any interest?

As a Habs fan, I'd trade for Krug in a heartbeat if I could get rid of Gallagher's contract.

Edit: Ignore me

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Would LAK be interested? Thought they needed a top-4 LHD.

 

[MinJaBen]

I could see the Canes being interested next year depending on what De Angelo wants in the offseason. If TDA moves on after this season, the Canes wouldn't have any defenseman that can play the point on a PP, so Krug could be a fit. They do like to trade for guys with term, so they might inquire then, but probably don't do anything the remainder of this year barring a TDA off ice meltdown or an injury.

HFB is the biggest shiny new toy group ever.
UFA signs:Yay!
Year two: here come the Value of threads.

I mean, most Blues fans didn't want Krug anyways because they already signed Faulk. And that automatically hated him because Pietrangelo left.

No he may have the offensive ability that we are looking for Hes not physically big enough to play the defensive role he would need in la. The kings have to many small defenseman. We are looking for a unicorn type Under 25 over 6 1 and 200 lbs with offensive side to his game.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

You guys signed him just last offseason.

Looking to trade him so soon after getting him is bad if you're going for future FAs

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

I'll give you Zaitsev plus a pick.

Thanks EA Sports.

Is it? Seems like Vegas does this all the time and has no problems signing people.

Because they're in Las Vegas.

Okay well get in line behind the other 31 teams then

 

[KingsHockey24]

If he wasn't 5 foot 6 yeah.

 

[McGarnagle]

I mean, I'd absolutely take him back on the Bruins but if we were going to pay him that contract would've just paid him back in 2020.

Maybe if the Blues retained a smidgen and then we could sell off Reilly to someone else to offset some of it.

I think Anthony Deangelo RFA in 2022. (AAV $ 1,000,000). Although I could be wrong.

Anthony Deangelo Contract, Cap Hit, Salary and Stats - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

It is unlikely that the arbitration will award him a large sum. Even if Anthony sets a personal performance record. All things considered, Deangelo's career. There is more chance that both parties will agree on a mutually beneficial contract.
Although everything can be.

 

[bleedblue1223]

We aren't trading him, he's performed exactly to expectations, and we absolutely won't consider a move while Perunovich hasn't played and performed to a top 4 level in the NHL.

 

[Brewhouse Sports]

Yeah I’d rather just keep Krug.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

As a Habs fan, I'd trade for Krug in a heartbeat if I could get rid of Gallagher's contract.

Krug doesn't want to play in Canada, That's already been made abundantly clear when all Canadien teams were on his no trade list.

 

[CaliforniaBlues310]

Yeah, Krug is here to stay for at least this season.

Perunovich is likely to be pretty good, but he ain’t Cale Makar. You don’t just trade your PP1 QB for a rookie who hasn’t played yet.

 

[Perennial]

I could see the Kings having interest...

To Los Angeles: Krug
To St. Louis: Maatta, Athanasiou

L.A. get a top 4 LD

St. Louis get a LD replacement for the rest of the season in Maatta, plus a serviceable bottom 6 forward on an expiring contract

 

[KingTech]

Okay well get in line behind the other 31 teams then

I love this response not every team needs a top pairing lefthanded defenseman There are team that have them Avs Tampa and Buffalo to name 3 Just because Krug happen to be left handed defenseman does not mean hes a fit. Teams all have a different fit for what they look for.

I was more making a joke that you were looking for a under 25, 6'1+ Dman with offensive upside. Because that is something 90% of the league would love to add to their roster.

Barrie for Krug?
