This seems strange to me. 
Former Boston Bruins defenseman Torey Krug says he wasn't given a chance to stay with his old club before signing with the St. Louis Blues.
"It was pulled from me. I didn’t have an offer," Krug said Friday, according to NHL.com's Amalie Benjamin.
"When they offered me a year ago and then it’s gone, I don’t know what I’m expected to do. Just being blunt and being honest with you. Most people don’t share that side of it but it is what it is."
The 29-year-old rearguard signed a splashy seven-year, $45.5-million deal with the Blues late Friday.
Krug and the Bruins opened extension talks last October following the club's trip to the Stanley Cup Final, but the sides couldn't agree before starting the 2019-20 campaign.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said in April he "dearly" hoped Krug hadn't played his final game in Boston, and he was hopeful they would "find a resolution."
The Bruins signed the undrafted blue-liner out of Michigan State University in 2012. Krug has amassed 67 goals and 337 points through 523 career games, all with the Bruins. He also added 52 points through 75 playoff games with the club.
With Krug signing in St. Louis, Boston has $15.4 million in projected cap space and could be in the running to add a high-profile free agent such as winger Taylor Hall or defenseman Alex Pietrangelo.

The Colorado Avalanche signed restricted free-agent forward Andre Burakovsky to a two-year contract on Saturday, the team announced.
Terms weren't officially disclosed, but the deal carries an average annual value of $4.9 million, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.
Burakovsky was traded to the Avs from the Washington Capitals last summer. He had a career season in his debut with Colorado, registering 20 goals and 25 assists in 58 games before the pause.
He also chipped in 17 points in 15 playoff games before his club was eliminated in the second round by the Dallas Stars.
The 25-year-old winger made $3.25 million on a one-year deal in 2019-20, and his new contract will walk him into unrestricted free agency for the first time in his career.
The Avalanche still have plenty of work to do with their RFAs, as Valeri Nichushkin, Tyson Jost, Vladislav Kamenev, Ryan Graves, and Nikita Zadorov need new contracts. General manager Joe Sakic shouldn't have much of an issue fitting them all in under the books, as he has a projected $17.4 million in cap space, according to Cap Friendly.

The Columbus Blue Jackets are nearing a one-year contract with veteran forward Mikko Koivu, according to theScore's John Matisz.
The deal is worth roughly $1.5 million, Matisz adds.
Koivu, 37, has spent his entire 15-year NHL career with the Minnesota Wild. Wild GM Bill Guerin said in September that the team wouldn't sign the longtime captain.
The 6-foot-3 pivot contributed four goals and 21 points in 55 games last season before the pause.
Koivu helps round out the Blue Jackets' depth at center behind Pierre-Luc Dubois and recent acquisition Max Domi. He logged 15:34 of average ice time per game last season and won 53.1% of his faceoffs.

The Boston Bruins signed forward Craig Smith to a three-year deal worth $9.3 million, the team announced Saturday.
Smith, 31, has spent his entire nine-year career with the Nashville Predators since being selected by the club in the 2009 NHL Draft.
The 6-foot-1 winger can play up and down the Bruins' lineup and adds a needed element of depth scoring to the team.
Smith was on pace to hit the 20-goal mark for the sixth time over his previous seven full campaigns before the pause, finishing with 18 goals and 31 points through 69 games with the Predators last season.
The Wisconsin native consistently drives offense at an impressive rate and is also responsible in his own end, according to HockeyViz's isolated impact (red is good in the offensive zone, blue is good in the defensive zone):
Smith is also a strong possession player, boasting a Corsi For of 55.18% and an expected goals for rate of 56.91% at five-on-five with Nashville last season.
The Bruins have $12.3 million in projected cap space with a roster of 20.
