Talking about cap space next season, anyone else beside me REALLY surprised Sweeney never moved Moores contract.For a decent veteran Dman getting paid under 3 million a season, I thought he was as good as gone. I figured for sure there had to be teams out there looking for a cheap dman either for depth or as a regular. Bruins, even with Clifton and Miller hurt, are still deep in this position and having an extra 2.75 million would of went a long way considering all the players not signed. Why do you think he wasnt moved?? Is he not worth it or did DS want to keep him..I really dount the latter considering the depth but I would love someone elses opinion here. I'm really lost on this one.. I think he kept him for the playoff run. Good solid experienced dman

I'm really lost on this one.. Think they got him for depth on the left side. Krug, Z and Gryz all have their shortcomings and not much behind them. He has size, experience, great skater and teammate. And a bargain like you say. Think heโs still here for the above reasons and itโs not good business to sign free agents then trade them shortly afterwards. It could deter some free agents from signing here in the future.

Bingo Ok, I get what you are all saying and agree. I would ask why he isnt playing but with the play of Lauzon, there's just no way they can take him out of the lineup. But Moore needs to play at least once a week. We already have Kampfor in a similar situation and for similar reasons. They just cant come into a playoff game after sitting a month so I hope there's some time in the last 2-3 weeks where those guys who are not playing can get some games in, just in case of an unexpected unfortunate injury arises. BUT it's so good to have the depth. Bruins just might have the deepest defense in all the league and that'll speak volumes come playoffs.. Thanks guys, appreciate your opinions as always!!

Move over Marchand!! Stud has SEVEN shorties this season. And what a rookie season this kid is having. As it says in the post, he leads Pro in all offensive catagories. Below is one paragraph I had to post cause his numbers are terrific"

As much as I like Krug, the market may say he's worth $8M a year, but watching him for his whole career, that's not what the eye test tells me. I would be OK with mid to high $6M range, but no way $8M.

That being said, if he was better than he is in his own end, I could see the $8M, but he isn't so no way.

Iโd let him walk. Trade his rights to a team for a 6th rounder for what I care. We have a ton of capable dMen.
Maybe we can win a Cup for Krug this year and he can comfortably go sign with a new team and the dough he thinks heโs worth. Donโt get me wrong though, I like him but managing our cap is the first most important thing to me.

Even if we had the cap money for him I would not sign him for any more than Pasta, Bergy or Marchy.

Even if we had the cap money for him I would not sign him for any more than Pasta, Bergy or Marchy. 6 to 6.5 million for 5 years and Iโd be fine if he said no to it. Weโll have another year of Z most likely, Grz, Moore and Lauzon. Not to mention Vaak and Zboril being very close to NHL ready. I actually donโt want to see the day when Z retires and we are rolling out undersized Krug and Grz on our left side. I know we do it now but Z more than fills the bill on the physicality side.

And one other thing we should all remember - with Pasta, Marchand and (maybe) Bergeron, there were constant reports of what they were asking for and it was usually an outrageous amount. But they ended up signing for far less than the 'credible sources' predicted. It is amazing just how often these fucking 'insiders' are wrong and it wouldn't shock me at all if the Krug situation ends up being the same.

It Ain't the players the majority of the time BUT the Agents BECAUSE they WANT their BIG pay day because they only(yeah only$$$$)a % of the contract. Yeah they also have multiple player under their contract IF hey're any good!!

It is amazing just how often these fucking 'insiders' are wrong and it wouldn't shock me at all if the Krug situation ends up being the same. I wish I could find the article I read early in the season or maybe even preseason. Krug talked about his contract expectations and mentioned how Marchand[especially} took a discount because he claimed that Bergy was best player on team and no one should get paid more than him. He went on to say how he loved everything about playing in Boston, especially the group and how he wanted to stay a Bruin. I'm betting he gets signed because the cash flow will go either to Krug or a 2nd line winger. I'm hoping Kask is that winger or maybe even Studnicka.. I think at the end, he'll realize just how important the top line are to the Bruins, what they get paid, and then look at his value as a Bruin. The contract he signs in Boston will be very similar if not identical to Marchands, just maybe not for 8 years..Just my prediction. He's not leaving Boston, I just cannot see it..

I concur on all counts. And the thing is, if for some reason, he does chase the money, unless he's going to another contender, which is unlikely as most of them don't have the cash, he'll end up on a rebuilding, or mediocre team that is years away from a Cup.

Like I said previously 8 mil a year puts him level with Carlson in Washington. TK is no Carlson. 6 x 6.5 should be enough. He should take that and run. Look what Jake Gardiner had to settle for last year. The talk was 7-8 million for him as a UFA and then he shit the bed in the playoffs and he was lucky to get half of that.

BN,If your numbers are correct and that's around what I would expect also,I think Sweeney can live with that, both teams should be happy.
