I can't see the Oilers being interested in Krug. They could use a right shot defenseman who could be a steady presence in the top four that allows their more skilled defensemen to cook (in much the same way Ekholm was last year). Krug's been pretty solid this year, but let's face it, that's like the opposite of the kind of defensemen he is.
Add in the fact that Krug is very expensive, the Oilers have no cap space (and likely won't have 6.5 million to work with, even with "the cap going up" and whatever in the offseason), the Blues are unlikely to retain salary AND Krug could immediately veto the whole thing makes that idea pretty unworkable to me, unless you want to get in the Jack Campbell business.
