NHL Trade: Hurricanes Trade Kruger And A Pick To Coyotes For Martinook And A Pick

“We are very pleased to add Marcus to the Coyotes,” said Chayka. “Marcus is a solid, two-way center who is very responsible defensively and has good speed and skill. He’s an excellent penalty-killer and will provide us with good depth at the center ice position.”

Craig Morgan: Kruger has one-year left on his three-year, $9.25 million deal. He won’t two Stanley Cups with the Blackhawks.

Mark Lazerus: “Kruger is (was?) the kind of player who makes a good team great. But he’s not the kind of player who makes a mediocre team good.
