Although this does lower cap hit a little bit, Schaller, Kuraly, Khudobin, and Grzelcyk will all need a bigger pay day than what they have here.

Also Nurse and Nuge don’t really improve the Bruins. Makes them just as competitive so the trade doesn’t have much of a point to it.

It improve the bruins my finding someone who will be paired with mcavoy plus we are free from krecji who’s gonna slow down as ****

Krug had 33 more points than Nurse having played less games. That’s very significant. Why would you downgrade on defense?

Also Nuge is still making $6M per year to do what Krejci already does.

Krug: 27
Nurse 23
Krejci 31
Nugent-Hopkins 25

The thread title is currently, "if they want Krug,"

Consider alternatives such as, "if they are madly in love with Krug," and, "if they are totally stupid obsessed with Krug."

Then consider adding picks and prospects.

There is no reason either team does this deal. Boston is getting worse and EDM would be taking on bigger contracts on older players.
