Andrei Markov suspended from Russia hockey for 18 months for some bureaucratic mistake. He didn't submit one of the form for his retirement and was thus expected to take drug tests like a player (which he didn't).



Would be nice if that brought him back to NA.

EDIT: @Adam Michaels with his usual ninja skills.

You offer more detail, though. ;)

Picked him up a lot in franchise mode in Nhl 21 for an ahl offensive dman.

That’s all I got to say.

Yannick Weber ended up having a pretty solid pro career in NA for a guy who wasn't blessed with the best tools in the world by a long shot. He didn't have size or particularily good skating on his side either. Goes to show a lot of more subtle things can factor into whether a prospect can make it or not in the big league .

His numbers in junior were comparable to Subban's, they played against each other in the Memorial Cup. Subban improved more and faster after that. Plus Subban was bigger and stronger.

When you think of it, Habs have had some big/notable name players here under Bergevin

Vanek-Staal-Perry
Semin-Briere-Kovalchuk
Hemsky-Ott-Radulov
King-Malhotra-Frolik
Armstrong

Gonchar-Kaberle
Streit-Sergachev
Murray-Scandella
Alzner

Niemi
Montoya

Issue was either we had them way past their prime or for less than a season.

I really miss Radulov... Imagine having Radulov instead Gallagher (I like the heart of Gally, but at 6,5 per year for 6 years, i'd prefer put that on player like Radulov).

Folin, who is now with Frolunda and a teammate of Norlinder's (unless he makes Habs out of camp) will be one of the captains.
