The only way I could condone getting Hall is if we moved Krug for him straight up. No disrespect to Krug but if we’re not extending him it’s rental for rental and we have some depth on LD.

The Bruins, presumably, have not committed a new six-year deal and $31.5 million to Charlie Coyle to see him walk for nothing in the 2021 expansion draft.
They are already obligated to protect Patrice Bergeron and Brad Marchand because of their no-movement clauses. Declaring David Pastrnak off limits will be an automatic call for general manager Don Sweeney. They would prefer not to allow Jake DeBrusk, one of their three 2015 first-rounders, to be a member of Seattle’s charter class.
That they have five forwards projected to be protected steers them toward the 7-3-1 model they employed for Vegas’ 2017 expansion draft.
This makes a Torey Krug re-signing anything but guaranteed.
The Bruins do not make transactions with expansion at the forefront of their thinking. But like every other organization, they’d prefer to minimize the pain that losing a player for free inflicts.
Two years ago, they did not want to say goodbye to Colin Miller, one of the pieces they acquired from Los Angeles for Milan Lucic. But they exposed Miller by protecting seven forwards (Bergeron, Marchand, Pastrnak, David Krejci, David Backes, Ryan Spooner, Riley Nash), three defensemen (Krug, Zdeno Chara, Kevan Miller) and one goalie (Tuukka Rask).
Although they lost Miller, they shielded Nash, the unheralded but versatile veteran pivot. Spooner, one of the other protected forwards, became trade collateral to acquire winger Rick Nash from the New York Rangers.
This time, if they repeat the 7-3-1 scenario, it would allow them to protect two more players than the other option: eight skaters and one goalie. The 8-1 format would allow the Bruins to protect more than three defensemen; Nashville did this to keep Mattias Ekholm, Ryan Ellis, Roman Josi and P.K. Subban. But this perk would sacrifice volume and set up the potential of losing an important forward.
Let’s say, for example, the Bruins re-sign Krug. This could make them lean toward the 8-1 model, allowing them to protect Krug, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo and Matt Grzelcyk.
Up front, they would start by protecting Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak. But it would leave them with a difficult decision for the fourth and final spot: Coyle or DeBrusk. Whoever is left exposed will likely be claimed. The Bruins would not find either possibility pleasant. It would also leave Danton Heinen and Anders Bjork unprotected as well.
The 7-3-1 model would ensure the forwards are not raided. But after protecting McAvoy and Carlo, the Bruins would have to expose Krug or Grzelcyk. Like Coyle, the Bruins would not re-sign Krug long term to let him go to Seattle. Losing Grzelcyk, who will be 27 by then, would be a below-the-belt boot.
On the other hand, if Krug does not re-sign, the Bruins would find it easier to go 7-3-1. Up front, they would likely protect Bergeron, Marchand, Pastrnak, Coyle, DeBrusk, Heinen and Bjork. On defense, they would make McAvoy, Carlo and Grzelcyk hands-off. In that case, Seattle would probably draft Connor Clifton.
The Bruins like Krug. They are a better team with him. He is the heartbeat of their power play. Krug has grown into a dependable 5-on-5 defender on Carlo’s left flank. The 5-foot-9 defenseman plays several inches bigger than he is. He belongs to the next wave of leaders. These are all reasons negotiations continue.
But the trickledown expansion effect of re-signing Coyle is one of the factors that may discourage the Bruins from exceeding their internal limits on Krug. Other reasons: Krug’s age (29 at the start of next season), power-play alternatives (Grzelcyk and McAvoy) and their left-side options (Urho Vaakanainen, Jakub Zboril, Jeremy Lauzon).
The Seattle franchise does not even have a name yet. But it is already impacting the Bruins’ most critical decision.

Listening to a lot of chatter on Twitter about the expansion draft consensus is if it were to happen now either Grz or Heinen would be lost
