After the recent injury to Torey Krug and the admirable replacement job done by Matt Grzelcyk in his absence, the future of both defensemen with the Bruins organization became a hot topic of conversation. With another Krug injury revealed today, that debate will surely start again.
As we all know, Torey Krug’s cap-friendly contract ($5.25mil AAV) ends at the conclusion of the 2019-20 season, and without a doubt, he is due for a big raise upon signing his next deal.
We also all know that the Bruins will have some significant decisions to make with guys like Anders Bjork, Jake DeBrusk, Grzelcyk, Jaroslav Halak, and possibly Zdeno Chara, all requiring new deals to play more years in Boston.
