You could argue Subban had the higher peak but Markov was the better defenseman.

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Subban won a Norris.

Markov meant more to the franchise however.

 

[First Line]

The guy who made the other guy look good

 

[SyZyGY]

Subban

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Markov with HM to Hamrlik, Weber and Subban.

 

[ViD]

The guy Montreal did not let to play 1000 games with the club

Absolutely pathetic move by then Russophobic Habs management, getting rid of all Russian players including Markov who had 10 more games to reach 1000 with Montreal and who was 0.5 PPG in his last season

 

[amnesiac]

Markov more consistent for longer

 

[bobholly39]

Subban was better at his best. Markov is extremely underrated though.

I voted Subban

 

[dirtydanglez]

markov.

 

[BLNY]

Markov was criminally underrated outside of Montreal. Chips are down, I'll take peak Markov over peak Subban. Andrei facilitated career years for Souray, Streit, and Komisarek and netted them their biggest contracts with other clubs. His distributing skills on the PP have not been replaced.

 

[Kranix]

Eric Desjardins

PK Subban was a legit HOF talent. He was better for sure.

Who had the better career? It's closer because Subban's ended prematurely. A lot closer from that perspective.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Voted Markov but Pk's peak was better.

Markov also helped pk a hell of a lot in his career , a great mentor to have. Don't think PK is the player he became without the generals help and guidance , especially with Therrien hating pk's guts his entire tenure here

Totally agree , joke management. Doesn't get talked about enough how much he disrespected Markov. He was one point away from becoming second all time scorer on the habs and taking over Guy Lapointe for the #2 spot.

Bargain Bin was a piece of shit for sure

Voted for Subban tho, at his peak he was a f***ing beast

 

[CanadienShark]

Subban peaked higher. Markov did more for the franchise. Tough call.

 

[Scintillating10]

Who was it?

We haven't had many good ones since '94. Probably why no Cups.

I voted Other-Weber.

He got us closest to a Cup

 

[Hockeyholic]

Subban peaked higher. But it didn't last long enough to outweigh Markov being more consistent for an extended period of time.

I don't think Subban plays as well without Markov.

 

[sansabri]

Subban was flashier, but Markov was the rock of the Habs' defense (and we've been looking for his replacement ever since)

 

[pth2]

Éric Desjardins - he was top D for a Cup winner, after all. Even scored a hat trick in the Finals.

 

[gritdash60]

Markov > Weber > Subban

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

The Cube was best in nickname.

 

[Burt Macklin]

Voted other. Weber should have really been a option.

 

[Chainshot]

30 years? I would be tempted to put Eric Desjardins into this debate.

 

[Kobe Armstrong]

Crazy not to have Weber in the poll
