The St. Louis Blues added one top-end defenseman and then lost a premier defenseman. Despite the fact it will happen, fans should not compare the two players.
Now that we officially know that Torey Krug is a de facto replacement for Alex Pietrangelo, who signed with the Vegas Golden Knights, we can expect years of second guessing.
