Krug has been dealing with a left ankle injury (pre-arthritic) for quite some time and has now decided to get surgery done on it to fix his problem.
The Blue defenseman spoke on hard this decision was to make and how it had him fighting back tears

National Institute of health on Pre-arthritic issues (example in the knee)
A knee exhibiting one or many risk factors without pain, normal standing radiographs, no structural changes on arthroscopy or standard MRI, that is, before early OA can be diagnosed.
Krug is far from the defenseman he once was and now that he is nearing the end of his career, a big surgery like this might end up cutting his career shorter than expected which is why the decision was so emotional.
