One of the NHL's most-coveted free agents is
off the market.
Defenseman Torey Krug has agreed to a seven-year, $45.5 million
contract with the St. Louis Blues, the team announced Friday
night.
Krug, 29, had spent his entire NHL career -- seven full seasons
-- with the Boston Bruins, logging 523 games with career totals
of 67 goals and 337 points. He also has career totals of 507
blocks and 413 hits.
A three-time All-Star, Krug was also a member of the NHL
All-Rookie Team in 2013-14. He had nine goals and 49 points in
61 games for the Bruins in 2019-20, and has averaged 51.2 points
per year over the last five seasons.
Krug was coming off a four-year, $21 million contract with
Boston, and had previously said he was not interested in a
short-term deal.
With a blue-line hole to fill, the Bruins earlier on Friday had
announced the signing of defenseman Kevan Miller to a one-year
contract.
