Well, it sounds like Torey Krug has not waited to see what fellow unrestricted free agent defenseman Alex Pietrangelo is going to do - instead, he might have taken his spot on the St. Louis Blues’ roster. 

Elliotte Friedman reports that Krug has agreed to a deal with the Blues on the first day of the free agency. Other insiders have confirmed the move since. 



The Boston Bruins have reportedly held firm throughout the night with their last offer to Krug’s camp — six years and $6.5 million annually, but Krug has accepted the deal in St. Louis instead, which pays him $6,5 million, but for seven years. The Bruins reportedly didn't check back with Krug on Friday or made him another offer. The Blues' deal include a no-trade clause for first five years and then 15-team modified last two.


Krug signed as a free agent and played first NHL game back in 2012. He’s racked up 337 points in 523 games, adding another 46 points in 62 career playoff contests. He will be tough to replace in Boston. 

The 29-year-old put up nine goals and 40 assists over 61 games last season, adding six assists in the playoffs after the NHL resumed following a COVID-19 stoppage. Prior to the pause, he was going to exceed the 50 point mark for the fourth straight season. Krug has spent his entire career with the Bruins, notching 337 points over 523 games.

It sure looks like Pietrangelo will be moving elsewhere. He had been linked to the Toronto Maple Leafs, but that was before GM Kyle Dubas signed T.J. Brodie to a four-year contract earlier today.
