I think Markov has as much game left as Chara. The Bruins showed their vet respect while our GM totally does not understand that concept. Embarrassing
OMG it's so easy to see through! If Markov was 35 the decision would still be the same! People just refuse to accept that the moron in charge has made everything about himself! We could have had Jagr with several good years left in the tank and MB said no but yet in the midst of his expert knowledge of what's best for the CH he proceeded to fill 2 dumpsters with compost and recyclables! This is what we are up against, we can have the best prospects in the entire history of the NHL but as long as Lloyd Christmas is in charge we will continue to flounder. Why is this so hard for people to see?
Bergevin already said that they were not interested in Markov. He said it while being interviewed yesterday.We will sign Markov, no doubt. Since we didn't get Gardiner.
Err, our PP is so bad, the done and finished Markov can park himself on the side walls and stand still and still vastly improve our PP. Don't kid yourself, our pp sucks bad and it hasn't got any better.
Markov could out score Mete in his sleep.
You mean our awesome three LD'S who have an unbelievably awe inspiring impressive "CAREER COMBINED" PP points total of (*gasp* so much potential!) FOUR points, don't need any help on the PP from someone who can literally get more PP points standing still in his 10 games needed?It sucked last year but that does not mean it won’t improve this year. No need for Markov.

Okay, you are of course welcome to believe our LD'S are actually decent.
Picking which one you would "rather have" was not the discussion.I’d rather have Mete. No need to go to a 40+ guy when there are others that need ice time.

Marc Bergevin agrees with you.Then why did you bring Mete into the convo? You compared the two point potential. If its only about bringing Markov back then like I said no thanks. He’s done!

So a player trying to negotiate terms of a contract is disrespectful now? So by your logic this whole league is filled with disrespectful players. Not that Bergevin was a douchebag or anything, telling 2 of our best players he only has room for 1 and he will not be negotiating with either, it's a take it or leave it contract. Oh, did I mention he did that publicly through the media in the utmost respectful way of course.He already offered him a contract two years ago but Markov said no. Respect should go both sides.
But as i also said , even if Markov was done (he wasnt)...... who the **** is Marc Bergevin to say so.!! The stiff replaced him with 25 million dollar LOLzner.

I think our LD's are decent and deserve the opportunity to show they can progress and get better.You mean our awesome three LD'S who have an unbelievably awe inspiring impressive "CAREER COMBINED" PP points total of (*gasp* so much potential!)

You know, histrionics aside, Weber and Mete were a pretty solid pair last year.Can’t believe we’re going into this season with Mete as a first pairing guy. WTF.
Not offering a contract for a random player vs not offering a contract for a player that played his entire career with the organization, is 10games away from 1000, a player that still showed loyalty by refusing to negotiate with any other organization because he wants to retire a Hab, telling him in the media to take it or leave it, cut off communications for no good reason and proceed to blame and trash the player in the media for not having an agent and call him difficult to deal with. Not quite the same argument.Just like not offering a contract to a 40 years olf defenseman?
If Markov wants to retire as a Hab, I'd be happy if they signed him for a day. But he wants to play. I loved Markov when he was here but we have to move on.
Bergy said hes not signing him oh well guess we can put an end to this thread

Victor Mete was a much better player game 82 then he was game 1.
That's a good thing.
I mean ..do we want our younger players to play and gain more experience, or don't we?
For all the talk about the GM not knowing what direction he's heading in...I think fans are even more contradictory (that's a general thought btw, not, referring to you specifically.
