Torey Krug
From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet. So if we trade him the team acquiring him can still get his full 6.5m in ltir correct? I know it's confusing how it works if anyone can shed light I'd appreciate it. Seems he could provide some decent trade value for teams needing the extra cap space.
Re: Torey Krug
Krug has negative value, the only way his LTIR has any value is if the other team is able to trade a healthy player with a terrible contract for him.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 10:51 am From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet.

Re: Torey Krug
I thought you were going to say he had a book signing somewhere.
Re: Torey Krug
He’s on LTIR. Look at capwages.com.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 10:51 am From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet.

Re: Torey Krug
Some sites have him on it but some don't. Sportrac has him on the IL only. If you look at Vegas' page they have Petro on the LTIR accurately. I looked for an official transaction showing the move but can't find one. I don't believe the Blues have officially designated him to the ltir.tfriede2 wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 11:17 amHe’s on LTIR.

Re: Torey Krug
Just curious if anyone knows. Does Krug still stay in St Louis during the season ? Does he travel with the team or just come to home games ? Does he even come to practice, maybe he could watch the games from the press box and call down to Weber how the plays are going. Thanks in advance.

I would doubt he is involved with the team fully knowing his career is done.stanw wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 13:31 pm Just curious if anyone knows. Does Krug still stay in St Louis during the season ?

Re: Torey Krug
The only benefit from LTIR is when a team can stash a player there during the season but then use them in the playoffs. Krug is done, so that’s irrelevant. Other than a team needing his contract to reach the cap floor, there is no point in acquiring him.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 10:51 am From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet.

Re: Torey Krug
There was never a loophole where just adding Krug would have helped any team in any way.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 16:31 pmYeah I completely forgot they closed the trading ltir loophole.bluetunehead wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 14:43 pmThe only benefit from LTIR is when a team can stash a player there during the season but then use them in the playoffs.

Re: Torey Krug
i dont think krug stays full time in stl. i think he still has his house because he helps out at practice every once in a while. He was on the golf spittin chiklits thing the other week. he very clearly is retired, looks like he can barely walk. was a bummer, they chirped him a few times saying the Blues cut him after beating him in the stanley cup. he had no reply and im sure that was beneath the belt as the blues have been first class with him

I don't think you can complete a player trade in any major sport if they can't pass a physical.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 10:51 am From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet.

Re: Torey Krug
The physical is the buying team making sure they don't trade for someone who is injured. It's like a home inspection. When buying a house you don't have to have a home inspection. It's an something that you ask for when offering a contract.blackinkbiz wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 21:47 pmI don't think you can complete a player trade in any major sport if they can't pass a physical.billybaseball wrote: ↑29 Nov 2025 10:51 am From what I can tell, he has not been placed on LTIR yet.
