After the Boston Bruins' latest playoff run, the early smart money may be on Krug. While Hamilton spent most of the 2013 postseason on the sidelines, the 22-year-old from Michigan State contributed six points in 15 games, seeing more power-play minutes than any other Bruins' defenseman not named Zdeno Chara. Not bad for a young lad with only three NHL games under his belt up until that point. An exceptional puck-moving talent, Krug will do his best to earn himself a prominent role, right out of camp.
