Description

Losing Bonino hurts defensively, but Kruger may fill that gap well. Paired with Hagelin and Sprong solidifies the line as both a d-zone start with high potential for an o-zone finish with Kruger face-off ability, Hagelin's speed, and Sprong's offensive skills.

Vegas is already looking heavy on centers and could easily afford to part with Kruger. Penguins could even offer Dea, Blueger, or Simon instead of the 2nd round pick to held Vegas fill the farm.

I don't necessarily hate the idea of trying to get Kruger for center depth, but definitely not at his full cap hit. Maybe if Vegas was willing to retain $1 to $1.5 million, but that may require a higher draft pick.

No way I'd pencil Pouliot in the starting lineup. Probably still need a trade or signing to fill out the defense, and Kruger at his full cap hit makes that more difficult.
