The Stockholm, Sweden, native has totaled 85 points (28G, 57A) over 320 career NHL games, all with Chicago. He was also a member of the Blackhawks’ 2013 Stanley Cup championship team and has collected 14 points (6G, 8A) in 76 career postseason contests. Kruger was drafted by Chicago in the fifth round (149th overall) in the 2009 NHL Draft.

Numerous reports state the total deal is for $9.25M.
