Unless some magical trade or buyout were to occur, Torey Krug is still set to be a member of the St. Louis Blues for the years to come.
Despite being the anticipated replacement for former team captain Alex Pietrangelo, Krug has faced many challenges while playing for the St. Louis Blues.
Krug has been with the Blues for four years, starting from the 2020-21 season.
His most successful season in terms of points was 2021-22 when he recorded 43 points, highlighted by his 34 assists.
Having joined St. Louis from Boston through free agency, he achieved over 43 points in five seasons playing for the Bruins.
Krug played well in Boston
At 33 years old, Krug may find it difficult to regain his prime years with the Boston Bruins. Nevertheless, this is what head coach Drew Bannister and GM Doug Armstrong are longing for.
During his time in Boston, Krug shined in the 2018-19 playoffs, finishing second in the league among post-season defensemen with 18 points, following former Blues Pietrangelo’s 19.
As a member of the Bruins, Krug was defeated by the St. Louis Blues in the 2018-19 Stanley Cup Finals.
In the previous year, he ranked third overall in postseason stats for defensemen with 12 points.
Krug has talent and performed very well in his years in Boston.
