Krug is the exact opposite of what we are looking for, we have enough PP QBs in Fowler, Drysdale, and LaCombe, we need a defensive LHD that can play 2nd pair with Drysdale with 2 or less years remaining on their deal.

And we're not "tossing in" the guy who won Defensive Dman of the year in the Q.

Agreed, and don’t want someone with 3 years on their contract either. Zellweger and Mintyukov do not need 3 more years. Plus, it’s gonna cost a lot more than a 3rd to get 50% retention in a $6M+ contract for 3 years.

Trade doesn’t fit Ana, and value for retention is off

Krug isn't a cap dump and has almost the same production as Fowler. With the league's worst defense next to Detroit and Zona, you'd think you'd be more self aware.

and lol at best defensive dman in the Q meaning anything

And he's already nixed one trade to Philly. Why on earth should we think Krug would approve a trade to a worse team in the Ducks. The core of the trade doesn't work so going back and forth about how bad the Ducks defense is or the value of Tyson Hinds is a bit silly isn't it.

You're right, we had a very bad defense last season, because we had too many offensively focused guys. Sooooo, in order to get better defensively, we need to have guys that are better at defense, and are not a liability in their own zone, right? Following my logic so far?

Screenshot-2023-07-31-164344">

Krug is an offensive specialist, he is a liability in his own zone. Therefore, he would make our defense worse. And when I say he is a liability in his own zone, I mean he is Klingberg level bad, we already tried that experiment once and have no intention of repeating it. As far as pointing out he has the same production as Fowler, how is that relevant in a discussion about defensemen. Great, he can put up points when he doesn't cough up the puck or get burned in his own zone, at least Cam isn't a liability in his own end.

So yeah, please continue to talk about how we lack "self awareness"

I love how you quoted me and addressed not a single thing I said. What was that about self awareness? 😂

Do me a favor and read what it says right under his name. I believe the sentence starts with "Isolated impact....." These are his individual contributions on ice.

Or you could reference the graph to the right, which shows his defensive capabilities. They're listed in red. Red's bad, right?

He's bad at defense, we don't want him, even half off.

right.. and how exactly is it "isolated"?

Where exactly would he be playing on the ice to be "isolated" and shown to be weak, strong, or somewhere in between?
