Also, for those with an Athletic subscription, Thomas Vanek was very, very high on Krueger in this article:

Quote:
“He’s one of my favorite people,” Vanek said. “He’s such a good people person. He’s a great talker. He remembers names. He really, really cares about people. He doesn’t care about your best player. He cares about every single guy on the team, and he will make you feel that way.
“I think that’s a talent. If you’ve never met him or you know him, you will get the same reaction when you walk away from him: ‘Wow, he’s great.’”

Vanek played for Team Europe, under Krueger, in 2016. At 36, you wonder if he'll go back to Buffalo for one more year under the coach he likes and in the city where he became a star.
