Torey Krug: our analysis
2023-24 season: 77 GP, 4 G, 35 A, 39 PTS, -31 +/-, 21:58 TOI. WAR -0.9 (306th of 316) · PAL 50, around average.
In 2023-24, Torey Krug, 35, posts a PAL Rating of 50 out of 100 (around average), and his WAR of -0.9 ranks 306th among 316 regulars, in the bottom quarter.
His strengths: power play (91, among the best in the league), creation (87, among the best in the league) and discipline (83, well above average). On the other hand, defense (5, among the weakest in the league) and possession (19, well below average) hold him back.

A slight dip from 2022-23, when his PAL was 54; his WAR went from -0.1 to -0.9.
