    Out 6-8 weeks, could be the whole season if surgery required.

    Ryan Suter’s signing makes a lot more sense now

    Just a brutal contract and decision to let Petro go by Armstrong. Decimated this teams window with ROR still around.

  4. Krug take your time bud and get better. As much time as you need.

    Someone with more medical background tell me if this would be LTIR forever or he could come back? Obviously want Krug to be okay as a person, but if he was LTIR forever that might save us

  6. Damn hopefully he recovers well. Looks like we won’t have to move a dman after all

    Hoping everything goes well, but I’m also wondering if this could mean the end of hockey for him. How serious is the surgery?

    Damn this definitely is coming off of that foot injury he had 3 years ago and it sprung it’s head last year too. Good thing is this sounds like a LTIR situation while he feels it out. Might just end up being sidelined for the year allowing for suter and perunovich to play. Then they will reevaluate later to see if the guy can play. If he’s truly out for the season and maybe career, we will have 13+ million available. That’s a lot of cash when we are only like 2 players away from being a top 5 team. Those 2 players would have to be a bonified #1 center and a top dman so not happening

    This sucks. He’s now untradeable and the Blues are going to be on the hook for his salary for the remainder of his contract.

  10. This actually might be the “shedding of a defenseman”. Krug could never play again. Foot injuries are some of the hardest hockey injuries to return from.

    and to do so without getting rid of any assets? Would be huge. Best case for Krug too, still gets paid, gets to retire where he wants.

    I wish Krug the best, and best case scenario I’d love to see him fully recover and contribute to Blue Note success on the Ice.

    If not…sitting out a year would serve him well into getting right for the last year of his contract, and us well in making use of that LTIR 💰

    Never been a big fan of the guy since he got here, but that sucks. I always hate to see someone go out on something that’s not their own terms. I do hope he gets better and can play again.
