He said Marchand was way to lowI don't think any of the current players would ever come right out and say they're going for every last dollar, after what our top line did in terms of their contracts. But I do think Krug means what he said.
Last playoffs Krug talked about "market value " now he's talking about "fair value", it's a good thing as market value would priced him out of Boston. He really wants to stay and take a discount as long it's fair to make it work.Great! I love Krug and want him to stay. Now the million (8 million?) dollar question is what does fair mean?
And I agree, both contracts Marchand signed was a home discount.He said Marchand was way to low

Bergeron is a top 5 center. It is a fact.Krug said Bergeron was underpaid at $6.85m. Doubt he’s signing for less. Also paying him that in his age 34 season is not favorable.

I’m not disputing that at all. Did you read any of the previous posts to gain any context of what we were talking about or did you just see that one post and respond to it?
What I’m saying is krug said he’s not taking as big of a hometown discount/ go as far below his market value as bergy, Marchand and pasta did. Aka he’s going to be asking for more money than all 3 of those guys per season.
6 years max that would bring him to 33 years old.Actually, that's not what he's saying at all. He said that Marchand and Bergeron were "low" for what he feels they should be making. He never said what he thought he should be paid.
Personally, I am not going to stress over it. I would like Krug to stay and I think that if he's willing to sign for $7m or less, he will remain in Boston. If he isn't, he will be headed elsewhere next year and the money will go towards different players (Coyle, Grizz).

My bad, he has one more season before free agency.6 years would bring him to the end of his age 34 season. He will enter free agency going into his age 29 season.
