boy, do you know noting about Markov. good luck finding 40 pt dmen.
His IQ remains off the charts and thats why he'll probably play a few
more years. One of the best passers in the NHL
Proposal: Nj - MTL
- Thread starter Sinner
- Start date

The OP gives us great value. There's no need to wait. Take the opportunity and take a bet on Redmond
The bet we're taking on Redmond is that he can be a 8th D, not that he could be a regular. He's also a RHD and thus irrelevant to Markov. Our LHD depth with this trade would be:
Beaulieu
Emelin
Merrill
Barberio
Samuelsson
Hanley

This dude has been talking about giving up assets for Chara so proceed with caution.
This doesn't make any sence for the habs. They're in a win now mode. Why would they be trading guys like Markov for picks and prospects. So we're basically downgrading from Markov to Merill and only getting a second Round pick... (Spoiler alert the Devils aren't making the playoffs) you do realize Markov got 44 points last year. Just because he's old doesn't mean he's not good. Also, it doesn't make any sence for New Jersey. Both teams would decline

Yes Markov is 37 years old and doesn't have a lot of years left in the tank, but he's still one of the 60 or 70 best d-men in the league. The Habs are Not going to sell him for some magic beans unless they are out of it at the deadline.
hes good, but hes not "trade a young D and a 1st for a 37 year old" good, especially on a rebuilding org

Sinner likes mortaging the Devils future when we are nowhere close to contending.
we are close to being a playoff team, I think you will be surprised this season.

I don't see Montreal trading Markov for less than premium. The only way I see him moved is if Montreal is out again this year at the deadline and to a team who is a Markov away from going very deep. Value-wise, it's a good offer, but not sure what it does for NJ in the long term. Certainly weakens Montreal's LD but frees up money to fix it.

Which makes this proposal even more ridiculous. We would be giving up a first round pick under that assumption.
Trade assets to barely make the Devs a playoff team....it makes no sense. Anyway, pretty clear at this point Shero will only move pieces for guys on the right side of 30.

Why? For 4-7 more games?
I totally remember who got knocked out of the first round in the 2014 playoffs...
Patience.

This is the exact opposite of what Shero is trying to do.
We absolutely are not giving up assets and futures for older defensemen that are nearing retirement. I don't understand the infatuation.
