Speculations about a potential trade between the St. Louis Blues and the Philadelphia Flyers during the summer came to light, only for a player's decision to stall the whole process.
Torey Krug was involved in rumours that stated he'd be on his way to Philadelphia, but he confirmed that he wanted to stay in St. Louis.
Krug's comments clearly highlight his dedication to the Blues. His choice to reject the Flyers' trade underscores his allegiance to his current team.
Reaffirming his dedication, Krug added:
