Torey Krug Gave Ryan Donato A Special Message Regarding Playing In The AHL.

"I let him know that it was the best thing that ever happened to me, was going to play in the AHL," Krug said. "I hope he's taking it with the right attitude. I let him know to go fine-tune your skills and get better at the things you need to get better at and next time you get called up hopefully it's the last time.

"I've always thought everyone should play a little bit in the American League," Krug added. "It teaches you a lot about how to be a professional. The ins and outs of the daily work that goes into the work habits that you develop over the years that correspond with what you're doing at the NHL level."
