Rumor: Andrei Markov's Agent Has Contacted Habs (Looking for $2M Contract)

[groovejuice]

What is Markov's agent thinking, posting this video? Markov sporting the Habs's colors is not going to help his cause.



This video proves Markov was better off not having an agent.

This short vid needs context. In Russia, all the offseason drills can only be executed after a hefty meal of sturgeon, boiled potatoes, cabbage, and a litre of Moskovskaya.

I wanted him to get a chance to play to get to 1000......but that was...I dunno man.

I don't know what the big deal is. Just give him a 10 game contract. Afterwhich, if he's not good enough, let him retire as a Hab. If he is somehow miraculously good enough, give him a one year contract.

I didn’t even know 10 game contracts were a thing. I thought that was only for the NBA .

I thought he looked good in that video.

I'm 999% sure they're not.

the dubstep didn't win you over? he's still young and hip man, MARKY'S STILL GOT IT!!

well to be fair his back skate into a turn > counter attack > outlet pass was really smooth.. and that top corner at the end was pretty sweet too

You can’t be serious? I thought the same thing as the twitter guy up there, i loved Markov, but jesus... that video looked filmed in slow motion, not only his hands, skatings are slow, his edge work and pivots are atrocious. I’m not even going to talk about the weak shots... i’m sad to say all this about him but that was a realy realy poor attemp to get attention. Markov is way better off leaving everyone with the last impression he gave us despite his age and injury, minus that 1000 games milestone than coming back for that milestone and get exposed so badly that the last thing you will remember from him is being a turn over machine, he might still be a smart player but the athleticism is just not there anymore, not for this level.

Plekanec was better last year than what Markov would be this year. I would have been fine with having him last year, but Markov is done at the NHL level.

 

[Habs4Life]

Wouldnt pay him more then a mil

 

[Walrus26]

Wouldnt pay him

Fixed that for you

 

[BehindTheTimes]

He looked like he'd still be our best puck.mover by far.

 

[PaulD]

No, no he seriously wouldn't be. Markov's time has been and gone, great as he once was.

Yes he would be. He has aged for sure........but the left side in Montreal ? Laughable.

ha! I'm thinking of trying out.

 

[PaulD]

No idea what he could add to our Dcore at his age, worst case scenario he's a Bottom Dpair.
I would take a chance on him in a Heartbeat.

Of all the bums Bargain Bin has handed contracts to.......yet I doubt he signs the General.

I hope Markov comes back and plays well........but not for Bergevins piss poor squad, for an actual contending team.

But maybe old Purple Pants has plans for Streit, Weiss, Semin and Alzner.

 

[hotcarle]

Give him the max number that can be buried in the minors for free (1m?). Our d is literally that bad, that we could use him as a pp specialist, and if it doesn't work out, terminate the contract like Streit. We're running out of options here, and we're still worse than last year.

 

[Walrus26]

Kulak is better, right here and right now and it's not even close. I'm not talking about prime Marky, but today's Marky. He'd be an Alzner-like liability with better passing but worse physical attributes and would get eaten alive in the current NHL.

Sounds like a perfect Marc Bergevin free agent signing.

Might. Taking a small sample size to affirm something is very dangerous. Kulak looked good. But he needs to prove he can do it for 82 games. People already don't remember how Reilly looked good when he got here?

How can you judge by that video. Alone on the ice......

Looks like a drunk beer leaguer out there. Stay in Russia Marky

He has Canadian citizenship... He can come back to live in Canada anytime.... But he should think twice about playing at NHL level anymore.

 

[Deluded Puck]

We should leave the Markov thing alone, Bergevin doesn’t deserve any chance at redemption. As for the main title of this thread, we’ll be debating Bergevin again in 12 months as he prepares for his TENTH season running the Habs roster.... that says it all for me.

 

[Bouboumaster]

I'd sign him one season, and I'd be sure to be able to bury him in the minors if it don't work.

It’s not like we will make the playoffs anyways.

Bring him back for his 1000th game and give him a proper sendoff.

Get your fact straights at least... He is preparing his 8th season, not 10th !
