Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: It’s looking like pending unrestricted free agent in St. Louis Blues Alex Pietrangelo and Boston Bruins Torey Krug won’t be signed by the end of the season.
The Bruins may need to create some more cap space to fit in a Krug extension. Both Pietrangelo and Krug will likely get offers from the Blues and Bruins, but they will likely be for less than they could get on the open market.
Have wondered if the Blues may pitch Pietrangelo on a John Carlsson’s eight-year, $64 million extension.
