Confirmed with Link: Torey Krug (7 years @ $6.5m)
- Thread starter TheDizee
- Start date
Faulk will shortly have a modified No Movement Clause. So, pretty soon, we can't move Faulk, and we are stuck with that horrid nightmare of a contract.

You are gonna have to sweeten any move to keep 27 regardless if Faulk is involved. Other teams know they have us by the balls.
Thats why I would keep him and just expose him at the expansion draft.
A: No he wasn't. and B: He absolutely 100% is not. He's mediocre 2nd pairing defender at best making 6.5 million for SEVEN YEARS.
6 games doesn’t negate a career that shows he’s not worth $6.5 million. Particularly with the cap barely rising at all over the next 2-3 years.
@Stats Guy do can you dig how many points Krug produce with Marchand - Bergeron - Pastrnak vs. without them?

Are you high? Blues were horrendous and if you manage to be best player of that efford and give respect Faulk's play. You are going to hate future.
I will be fair to Krug. He is actually a quality 2nd pairing defensemen. Overall, under different circumstances, I'd be very pleased he's a Blue. It's just the last year and a half of Armstrong playing cute on the negotiations with our franchise player that's got me angry.
My response if I'm Detroit "Sure! How many firsts are you giving me since I know I have you bent over a barrell?

Now that’s a criticism I can get behind.
Signing Faulk, Schenn, Scandella, shouldn’t have happened until after Petro was signed.

Fellow Blues fans I am disappointed. There is a whole lot of whining going on in here. Good God. If Petro wanted to be a Blue he would still be here. I don't begrudge him for getting every penny he can but will shed no tears for him. Cheers to you DA! Thank you for not getting caught with a bare cupboard. Krug will be loved in STL.

I don't know if he's movable, but I also really liked Faulk's game in the playoffs. Only like five players on the team even looked remotely like themselves and Faulk actually exceeded expectations. If he plays like that next season, tunes will change.
Fair enough. Then it's just the worst case of asset management imaginable, as I'd rather have Dunn and Bozak then Krug.

The whole narrative people try to spin of “he could be here if he wanted to be” is complete bullshit. The Blues would trade him in a heartbeat if they thought it would improve the team. No player should ever take a hometown discount.
Teams should pay their talent. If the Blues offered Pietrangelo a similar contract to Josi, he’d definitely be a Blue.
I’m disappointed and frustrated that Armstrong didn’t prioritize the captain and best player after we FINALLY won a Cup.
And Chicago is in a bad place for overpaying Seabrook - not Keith.
You would rather have a 30 year old defender who is moderately but not exceptionally better then Vince Dunn for 6.5 then potentially getting a still growing into an upper level defender Vince Dunn at about 3.5? Why not just add a draft pick to Bozak and go that and scrap the entire Krug thing all together?

For those who don't have the attention span/innate curiosity/free time to watch this whole video:
Armstrong literally confirmed he offered Pietrangelo a contract with some signing bonuses and partial NMC for certain years at the end of the contract.

I love how people are using the "SEE, HE GAVE A NMC!" then forget the "Partial for certain years part"
