Sweeney cant give debrusk a long term deal with his scoring inconsistencies. its a bridge for him, i see no other scenario but that one. hasnt had more than 45 points in his career yet... gotta see what he truly is.
"Krug wants to be paid and he's got the right too. He took many short cheap deal and now that he's on his prime he wants the jackpot and there's nothing wrong about that."
Krug's ELC was 3 years 5.1m (1.7m AAV) he played a combined 82 games in 3 years. primarily 2013 where he played 79 of those. 1 good year didnt warrant a massive new deal, they gave him a 1 year prove it. He had a similar year, 39 points in 78 games. Team was in a cap crunch he took a 1 year slightly below market deal as an rfa. 1 year 3.4m at 23 years old with 2 professional seasons under his belt is a solid deal... then he gets a 4 year 5.25m deal after a 44 point year in which his age 27 year he has a full ntc and in the last year of his deal he has an 8 team no trade list. he then goes on to have 4 50+ point seasons. I dont see anywhere where hes taken cheap deals, or shorter deals that made his contract not reflect his performance. They overpaid him to get him as a udfa, they gave him a 1 year prove it (no arb rights...), they kind of overpaid on his next 1 year deal(arbitration). then they gave him what turns out to be market value over 4 years... so outside of maybe that 1st prove it deal, i think theyve paid krug what he was worth at the time of the signings. He is not worth more than 5.5m long term. And we saw why during the tampa bay series.
