Matt Kalman of WEEI.com: Again, Torey Krug showed what he can provide for an offense. His two-goal, two-assist effort against the Minnesota Wild showed Boston Bruins fans and management what he can provide.
For the Boston defenseman, it is more about term than money. Would a $9 million AAV be shocking? Yes. Would a seven or eight-year contract be a surprise? No. So, where does that put Torey Krug? Could he be in the $7.5-$8.5 million AAV range? That becomes possible.
Torey Krug boosts the offense enough over the next several years to justify any extension.
