EH has his expected contract at 2 x $1.75M. Perfectly fine money for a bottom-6 guy, but he may be best suited as part of a package for a better player if another GM thinks a change of scenery could reignite his offensive game.Didn't realize he played 80 games but had just 13 points.
Restricted free agent. What kind of value does he have and is it with Buffalo or elsewhere?

17 points actually. But he was stuck with Girgensons/Okposo/various other scrubs on the 4th line for most of the year. At this point, a change in scenery may be best for him and us alike. I still think he could be a 45-50 point second line tweener but Buffalo doesn't seem to have the role for him available. Ruff does like guys like him, though, so who knows.
For me, Krebs seems too passive. He's a passenger vice the conductor. He's not close to the player he was in WinnepegAnd yet when with Skinner, there was very little offensive production. Perhaps with Ruff as HC, there will be more emphasis on cycle and play to the net that he seems like he could do when playing with guys like Girgensons and Okposo but just disappears when with everyone else.

I'm curious if the rattiness returns under Ruff.
Seems he had his pee pee slapped y Granato or got sick of being ragdolled

He can’t be the only guy to do it. They need more, not just him and occasionally Cozens.
I'm afraid that "flourish" will have limits based on his skill set. I would be happy for him to settle in as a pesky but responsible 4C that can rack up 30 pts depending on his wingers. He just doesn't have the talent to be much more.Granato neutered a LOT of any inherent physicality in the team last year. Dahlin didn't often have his usual snarl. Hell, Clifton wasn't as physical as advertised either. Krebs was tame. Greenway has some snarl, but didn't show it.
Krebs is a guy who could flourish under Ruff.
