Value of: Krug to Washington

[JKG33]

Just thinking out loud here, Washington has no D other than Carlson signed for next year. They probably won't rebuild like St Louis is. What if they moved Orlov as a rental and then brought in Krug for slightly cheaper (both in terms of assets and likely cheaper cap hit than Orlov next season).

Go ahead HF, tell me what a terrible idea this is

We'll take it.

Krug in Washington sounds really good for Washington we could give you a 3d and Krug for future considerations.

Gotta be more than a 3rd if they taking on Krug for 3 more years at 6.5 mil

we are gonna need that framed before we can accept it.

Orlov is vastly superior to Krug. Literally zero comparison. Krug should cost a serious asset to move that 6.5m x 3

 

[wintersej]

If Carlson wasn’t in the picture, I could totally see the Caps overvaluing a PP guy like Krug to help Ovi get the record.

But they already have Carlson.

He has 4 more years after this year

Unfortunately for us it's 4+ more years at 8.5M real dollars each of the next two years ...

None of us are holding our breath about Krug being moved and nobody wants to pay more than a 3d at a time when the Blues need their picks and are not on the cusp of being a contender justifying the urgent need to move him. You see the other immediate Blues replies ...

Yeah, that's kind of the hope for a Krug trade. A playoff team with a bad/mediocre PP that will convince themselves he will boost the PP enough to make it worth it.

 

[PocketNines]

convince themselves

... is the key phrase here ...

That was kinda my thinking with this thread. But I didn't realize Krug was negative value bad

He's viable as a player for far less money and as a PP specialist with #5 minutes but the contract is insane

I think a bad GM could make the conclusion, so I don't 100% disagree with your thought process. He's been horrific defensively this year, so it's possible he's been playing through injuries, which he's had a few this year. If he bounces back, he probably doesn't have negative value, but he won't have much value. He's a guy you really want sheltered on the 3rd pair, but that's an expensive luxury that most teams can't afford. If you are making 6+, most teams want you in the top 4 and not being sheltered.

 

[westc2]

Remember when we signed Krug instead of paying Pietrangelo a little bit more, and then our defense fell apart, which led to the current rebuild?

I think Krug is fine, but he's more a niche player that should be added to an already strong core. Just give him offensive zone starts and powerplay time and he'll do well.

The Blues no longer have a need for niche players since their core has been decimated.

 

[stl76]

Who knows if he would waive or not, but Krug also has a full NTC the next two years (becomes partial in 2025-26).

Krug is still a very good offensive dman. I don’t think he is as bad defensively as his reputation among a lot of Blues fans, but there’s no denying he has obvious limitations defensively.

This season he has clearly been trying to play thru injuries and he has looked brutal at times. A healthy Krug is still a pretty valuable NHL player…probably not quite worth his contract even at his best tho

Got to ask for more than that.

And not just Oshie. I demand autos from Eller and Chucky Sideburns as well.

It would require a 3 team deal to pull this off.

LAK: 2024 4th
STL: Pheonix Copley

WAS: Krug, Copley, Toasted Ravs, 10 gallons of Ted Drews and a gooey buttercake
STL: Bag of used sock tape and a game used Al Iafrate stick

Why not throw Sam Bradford in there too

I agree, Pheonix has been on LA too long and I don't want them to be in the Copley Club with us.

He'd get hurt during the commute

Eh, Stan Krabford isn't really injury prone. He's just bad.

I’m not sure if we are talking about the same Sam Bradford. Sam Bradford Blues legend was acquired along with Phoenix Copley Blues and Capitals trade legend in the Shattenkirk trade

 

[kimzey59]

Not sure if either team would actually do this but I'll toss it out there:
Krug for Mantha
