A class thing would be to sign Markov, even if he is past it, play the ten games and then he retires if it isnt working out. He could then go back to tje KHL if he wants is my guess.
maybe markov doesn't WANT to come back after the disrespect he was shown......i know i wouldn't
we don't own the guy
From the couple games I watched of Markov in the KHL playoffs, he looked good. I think he could still play.

I think MB should make the offer.
Easily. Markov was top 5 in defenseman scoring in the KHL. Alzner would struggle to crack the top 50.Would 10/10 still take him over Lolzner.
Markov would be the 2nd best defensemen on the Habs...Would 10/10 still take him over Lolzner.
Sign Markov for one year... trade him as a rental at the deadline.

MB is probably pissed off at Markov.....why would he want to try to do something nice for him?
i think there is mutual hate going on

There is no way he would sign here after everything that happened last summer in which he doesn't demand an NMC.
He still has another year in the KHL. He signed with Kazan for 2 years.
Out clause?
I was being sarcastic. Of course MB has a hate on for him. MB probably blames Markov for not taking the offer and therefore messing up the D. MB blames the players for everything.
“As an athlete and as a person who spent 16 years of their life in Montreal, I’d have liked it if they had respected me,” said Markov. “That’s all I was asking for from the team.”
“I’m going to be honest with you,” added Markov. “There was practically no negotiations with Montreal. I got two or three offers from them and they said, ‘Either you sign or you don’t sign.’
“No one listened to me and no one wanted to listen to me. That’s what happened. So I had the choice to sign on their terms or to leave and find a new team.”
Well eventually we would be relying on 41/42 year old Markov lol... It was another spit in the fan's face again. Just like Subban. Listen I love Weber but Subban was a fan favourite. And then they rejected Markov as well.Thats the problem though. How long can the team rely on 39/40 year old Markov?
