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?

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.

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.
And 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.

For me, Krebs seems too passive. He's a passenger vice the conductor. He's not close to the player he was in Winnepeg
Agreed. Then again, there are a lot of guys who tended toward passenger once they got un-f***ed.

If I’m giving everyone else the benefit of the coaches suck doubt I guess I should give it to him as well. Fiesty, high tempo agitator with some middle 6 ability who has had his development derailed by coaches that don’t know what he is.
I’m not a fan. Feels like a player that if Lindy takes a liking to him could become a very good tempo player in the bottom 6.

He's probably going to be an inspiring career-reclamation story, ala Briere or William Karlsson, for some other team. Maybe Utah. He could be reverse-Briere.
He's too young for the time he's getting in the NHL.
His style of play really needs physical development to be successful.
Not to mention all the blind and behind the back passes to nowhere.
I think it will be interesting to see what a coach like Ruff can do for him.

If there was ever an opportunity for someone to step up and grab.....

Feel like the shine has really worn off Krebs over the past year. Maybe this is the year he takes a step forward offensively, but I doubt it. Appreciate his peskiness, but he's a black hole in the offensive zone far too often, and he'll be stapled to the bench pretty quickly under Ruff if he keeps up with all the blind passes leading to easy turnovers for the other team. I also hope he's outgrown his extreme reluctance/aversion to shooting. It's insane how often he'll opt out of what could be decent looks at the net for a less effective pass.

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.
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.
