Krug will represent the United States in the 2015 World Hockey Championship, which runs from May 1-17 in the Czech Republic. Though Krug would no doubt prefer to be playing in the NHL playoffs, his first time playing for Team USA should be a good experience for the 24 year-old blueliner, on the heels of a season in which he recorded 39 points in 78 games for Boston. Though the Bruins figure to see their share of offseason personnel changes, Krug will return to the team in 2015-16, at which time he'll continue to be a mainstay on the team's blue line, as well as a key power play cog. It's an assignment that will keep Krug on the fantasy radar as he approaches his third full season at the NHL level.
