As the offseason slowly nears, the Boston Bruins face an intriguing question. Can they retain the services of Torey Krug, who is going to become an unrestricted free agent next summer? There were speculations, and wishes, that Matt Grzelcyk may substitute him full-time if the Bruins can’t re-sign Krug.
However, it’s not as straightforward as it might seem. Firstly, Grzelcyk is a terrific defenseman. In Toronto last Friday, in the Bruins´ big divisional game against the Maple Leafs, Grzelcyk showed up and posted tremendous numbers. At even strength, the 25-year-old left-shot defenseman had CF% at 63.
