Le Tricolore
Boo! BOOOO!
literally no one is saying to sign him for anything more than one year.oh yeah cool, let's sign Markov 5 years too late when he's waaay past his prime.
how about 1-day contract to let him retire a Hab?

Can he still play? He could be a good stopgap until Romanov makes the jump.
He’s done.
And he’d probably also be the best blueliner we have on the left side. That’s where we’re at right now.
I still think you have the best name on HFBoards.You don't actually think that though, right?
Why stop at Markov? Let's bring MAB back!!!Markov?
Let's just move on folks and remember the guy for what he was and not how it will end if we actually do sign him.
At 50 years old, Markov is better than anything they have on the left side. His hockey IQ makes up for any speed deficiencies.
Markov could easily play 12 to 15 quality minutes per game.
If the price and term are right, let's do it.
Bring him to camp on a PTO, take a good look; he may be able to play 10-12 mins and on the pp. if not, no harm.

right, neither was i?literally no one is saying to sign him for anything more than one year.
Can't be worse than Chiarot.

So why was Corey Locke never an NHL player?
No amount of IQ saves you from cement skates.
Maybe as a table hockey skater. If Markov is almost too old for the KHL, he's too old for the NHL.
Not sure that comparing Corey Locke to Andrei Markov is fair. Markov is one of the best Habs' defensemen of all time. Corey Locke was someone people on this board thought might be good for a year or so but he never panned out for many reasons.So why was Corey Locke never an NHL player?

Markov was very meh in the KHL in 2018-2019, how can he be good in the NHL in 2019-2020? Legendary NHL player Paul Postma got double the points on the same team...
This may seal the deal. RDS is reporting that despite Markov's demonstrated interest in returning with the Habs, the feeling is not mutual.
One of Markov's agents told RDS that he's contacted the Habs several months ago and the Habs never responded.
The foregoing is expressed in the following quote:
Andrei Markov aurait démontré de l'intérêt à effectuer un retour avec le Canadien, mais ça ne semble pas réciproque.
L'un des agents du Russe, Sergei Isakov, a confirmé à RDS qu'il a contacté le tricolore il y a quelques mois et que le Canadien n'a pas donné suite.

Jeez, Markov who represented himself in his dealings with Bergevin when he became a UFA, now has more than one agent.
I'm expecting Dundon to make a move for him.
Bring him back as the LW of the 4th line. play mostly PP and a few minutes here and there. 7 minutes a game should be fine ad I bet he would still get more goals than Mete did2 millions to Markov or 8 millions sleeping…..
Bergevin signed Steit, Hemsky, Semin and tons of other crap over the years that didn't worked out, that gave nothing to this team.
Worst case scenario, Markov becomes one of them…..not entirely sure i want that either but i would prefer to pay him to be in and out of the line-up than paying a guy like Peca or Folin.
AND….old or not, Done or not, i'm pretty sure Markov could still run a PP like he used to be. That could be a huge help.

Thats just really pathetic if true, Bergevin doesn’t owe Markov a spot on the team. But not even replying to a long time hab is low, even for MB.
