hope the Sens have something they like from Chicago for when they trade to reacquire him soon.

It's now official that Markov won't be back with the Habs.

They have no good C, no puck movers and no good prospects.

This is a good time be a non-Habs fan!

1993 Forever!

But according to you they have the best coach in the game that makes crappy teams play far better and overachieve. Have you changed your views on Claude now that he no longer coaching your favorite team? I mean I remember you saying time and time again the only reason the Bruins had a shot was because the man behind the bench. Is he no longer the miracle worker you proclaimed him to be? I mean they had no real center last year either and still won the division.

Clode and Price are the two reasons why they may sneak into the playoffs even with that bad lineup. Then lose in round 1.

They are irrelevant, even with one of the best coach in the game.

I'd offer a 1 year deal 4.5 million.

Powerplay would be absolutely devastating.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Bring in Markov so Hab fans can be upset!!!

 

[missingchicklet]

Markov can still play. Surprised they didn't bring him back after he had a good season last year. Will be interesting to see if he stays in the NHL and signs with another team or goes to the KHL.

There was something floating out in Twitter land that the Panthers were a player for Markov.

Montreal is a mess.

Claude is in heaven with the roster of grinders though.

I'd say.

Think about this, of the 11 D-men who played for Montreal in the 2015-16 season, the only one still standing is Jeff Petry.

Hard to see how Montreal got better this off-season.

And folks here complain about Boston spinning their tires.

 

[KrejciMVP]

Markov going back home to Russia

 

[missingchicklet]

Apparently Markov wanted a one year deal for top dollar. Montreal has plenty of cap space. Who is out there left for them to sign with the amount of space they have for this season? Bergevin better hope the team he has dismantled/assembled produces this season. Seems like he has no clue what he's doing. I guess time will tell.

Makes sense for him.

 

[KrejciMVP]

he's old, sometimes you have to move on, kinda of like chara next year

People harp on Sweeney here all the time, but Bergevin is a bottom 5 GM easily. No plan.

 

[KrejciMVP]

I remember Markov playing for the Habs when I was in high school, man Im getting old

 

[Hali33]

What are the Habs doing?

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

What are the Habs doing?

Not signing Markov

Along with not winning the cup for like a quarter of a century

 

[Dueling Banjos]

What are the Habs doing?

It's rather enjoyable.

 

[KrejciMVP]

I guess letting the kids play narative only applies to Boston and not Montreal? No way Id pay Markov 6 mill. Heck people panicked over Shattenkirk at 6.5

They have 8 defensemen on one-way deals and the youngest is Joe Morrow. Plus they just signed Streit. "Playing the kids" isn't close to what's happening on Montreal's defense.

 

[Bruinswillwin77]

Be nice if we destroy Julien and his team this upcoming season. **** them. I know this post will be BMC approved.

I'm sure every team has d prospects they plan on getting experience. Moving from Markov will allow them to play their prospects. We aren't the only one with them. This is the NHL. Seriously though who would pay Markov 6 mill

They traded away their best kid defensive prospect.
They've managed to get worse now and in the future this off season. Neat!

When Boston starts owning Montreal on a regular basis I'll talk smack believe me. I've seen too much underachieving vs this team to be confident. No way I'm confident going into MTL with a team half full of rookies and aging slow vets. We didn't get anyone this off-season! Message board overrating and fodder doesn't beat the habs

i hope the canadiens win the stanley cup for no other reason than it would defy any and all predictability and naturally make so many people online so insanely mad.

i honest to god guarantee that a new metric meant to quantify the comparative meaningfulness of cup wins will be created, popularized, and codified within a month's time if The Team That Traded Subban wins it.
