I don't believe they'll be  lowballing any established candidate . That was unique to the unproven Granato in his first chance at HC. 

Krueger had a contract for $3.75 million annually.

Berube still has one more year on his $3.5 million per year contract with St. Lou

I would expect any offer to Berube would be at least $4 million and possibly higher.

What about the important things about Craig Da-booby.  He has a seriously pointy face.

I'm not much of a Berube fan.  I think he fell into a great landing spot and a team that went on a freakish run.  He'd be a Bylsma hire to me. I like then discipline in his manner. But eh.

I think he undoubtedly benefited that first year from an almost unprecedented and prolonged heater from Binnington. Still, he clearly didn’t get in the way of winning. The next three years (two of them Covid years) they averaged 103 points per 82 games. Unlike Bylsma, he did that without a Crosby or a Malkin. 

If we are expecting to become a playoff team and then a contender, then we will need to become a more balanced and more talented team. That is regardless of who the next coach is.

The more I listen to players reacting to a coach being fired, the more it sounds the same (i.e. theme of accountability, etc.).  This one was kind of interesting when Berube was fired....I don't put too much emphasis on this (one way or another).

They fired him and still didn't make the playoffs - mayhaps he was not the problem?

TPegs was still naive and idealistic back then.
