Krug is eighth among NHL defensemen this season with 49 points (four goals, 40 assists) in 61 games. He leads defensemen with 28 points (two goals, 26 assists) on the power play.
"It hasn't given me any clarity," Krug said of the pause. "If anything, it's made me wonder about this process a little bit more. Because I was just in the moment and playing games to help my team win and hopefully push in the right direction to win a championship. With this season paused, I've definitely wondered about what's going to happen, but in terms of clarity, there pretty much has been none.
"From a business perspective, I can't put any assumptions on it. I can only guess that things are going to look a little bit different from a [NHL] salary cap perspective next year. Team structures as well are going to be affected by that. I really have no clarity. I wish I had a better answer for you, but that's just the reality of the situation."
Krug sustained an upper-body injury against the Tampa Bay Lightning on March 7. He missed one game, a 2-0 win against the Philadelphia Flyers on March 10, before the season was paused.
"I feel really good. I'm healthy right now," said Krug, who moved from Boston to Michigan to be with his in-laws, wife, and 9-month-old daughter during the pause. "I think I have a couple hurdles I have to jump over once I get back to get officially cleared, but as far as it goes, I'm fully healthy and I'm able to train as much as I can here at home. I'm feeling good."
