Krug is not no 5 million dollar D man.But the real problem is Bruins are so weak on back end he can ask for it and expect it.

I'd give him 5x7. Krug/Carlo for years to come. I still believe he has another gear to kick into also.

Same. Every year the kid has bumped it up a level. He's currently averaging 21:30ish minutes a night which is two minutes a night more than last year, he's been seeing his first PK time of his career and his zone starts are starting to level off where last year it was close to a 60/40 split offensive over defensive, this year it's 55/45 offensive/defensive. Yet he still has a positive +/-, CORSI & Fenwick.

He's still getting better and I'd already call him a good #4. The kid just keeps proving people wrong! I stopped betting against him awhile ago because I got tired of being wrong...... Oh who am I kidding I never get tired of being wrong :D I'm just drinking the KrugAid.
 
Where the market is going, less than 5 would be a steal. he continues to grow; still would like to see improvements but he'll get there.

Because of cap inflation, 5 million today is like 4 million when the Bruins won the cup. Krug is worth 5 million with a 71m dollar cap.

The depth, or lack-thereof on the Bruins D should have no impact on whether or not Krug gets 5 mil per +.

If he gets 5 mil it's because that's the market value for what he brings, and him, his agent, and the Bruins agree with that assessment. If the Bruins don't believe he is in this value range, they'll move on, regardless of who else the Bruins have on D.

He isn't getting under 5m imho, unless it's somehow from an arbitrator.

Only 35 Defensemen in the NHL make 5 million a year

I know you can't go my past contracts but the cap hasn't gone up that much in the last few years

And I don't see how u can make him one of the 40 highest paid D in the NHL

I think Krug should take another bridge deal that takes him to unrestricted free agency when it ends

I think 2 years 8 million is fair for both sides

Krug gets a slight raise and if he plays well he will hit UFA in his prime years "27years old" with a raising cap and a chance for a big time payday another risk by him sure

But he could take 5-6x5 that takes him into his 30s where he may not get another big deal or he takes 2x4 with a chance in 2 years if he ups his play to sign a 7x7 type deal

Bruins get a top 4 D at a reasonable 4 million cap hit for the next 2 years everybody wins!

Torey Krug 52 games 3 goals 21 assists for 24 points

32nd in the league as a defenseman in points.

Not having a contract year like he hoped.

Not sure I would be giving him a big money over a long term.

Simply, he is too small.

58th in the NHL in even strength points among Defensemen

Behind Kevan Miller in even strength points this year

And

25th in the NHL in power play points among Defensemen

Not good enough production to warrant 5 plus million
 
i'll say it again. over-rated

please play C. Miller and Morrow more. I am ok with down year but watching roadcones pals(chara and seids) and krug's no defense. krug been a passenger on the pp this season. seriously how can you not get points with spooner,krecji, bergy and louie on the unit.
 
The way Krug's season is going production wise he's likely going to be asking for another 1-year bridge to prove what he can do.

I love Krug, kid's a gamer, but his production hasn't done enough to warrant $5 million as his market value.
 
It's strange how some D seem to get a pass on this team and others, like Krug, don't.

He's 24, only in his 3rd season, and is making the transition from a 3rd pair PP specialist to playing Top 4 against tougher matchups. His TOI is up 1:47 over last year, with his PP time up only 37 sec. His offensive zone starts have gone down every year (55 vs 65 two years ago). A transition period would be normal given his changed role and you might expect his offensive stats to take a hit. His goals are down, due mainly to his sub 2% shooting percentage (normally in the 6-8% range) but he is on pace to put up the same amount of points as last season.

It isn't news that he's on the small side and does his best work when paired with a big physical D partner, and I think he's developing and coming along nicely. What that translates into as far as dollars and cents go, I'm not sure?

Krug had 2g/11a all last year on the PP.

This year he has 0g/12a through 51 games this year on the PP.

So, he is "getting points" on the PP.

No defenseman on this team is getting a pass. krug at his peak is 4-5 if paired with very good physical defman. not worth more than 3mil a year. but that's my option.

guys making over 4.5-5 should be able to carry their line. bruins have a lot of lhd in pipeline how many do they really need? especially pp only guys.

He's been treated pretty well on these boards- and rightfully so. But he has also fallen off dramatically of late. I wonder if the fight against Stewart (and the total lack of support from his teammates) had more of an effect than we thought.

correct and I think that 3.5mil for that was too much. he is the shooter on the pp, til this season for lack of scoring from him. so none it's bergy and spooner being setup for one-timers.

I think he's just a still young guy adjusting to more responsibility in his role on the team and tougher minutes. I don't read too much into his fight, except that it tells me I want a guy like this on my team.

Your opinion.

I think he's still improving and can be a legit 2nd pair with the right partner.

Krug had 2 goals on the PP all last season and 0 so far this year. His goals are down because his shooting % is only 1.8%. Also, the PP is using a different configuration this year. As long as it's more effective, does it matter if Krug is getting goals or assists.
