So now that Markov will not return to Montreal, where will he head next?

I know he's old as time, but gotta think there should be decent interest in Markov for the right price. Had the stars saved a bit of cap spaced this offseason, I'd have loved to see Nill throw a couple mil his way.

it owns that the Habs have $8 million in cap space and are probably going to use it on lovely punchmen or something. I mean who the gently caress is even still available? This roster is noticeably worse than the one that lost to NYR in Round 1.

Molson: the price we pay Carey, he'd better be able to carry the team on his back
Bergevin: what if we gave him no choice but to do that?

Also, Markov sits tied as the second highest scoring defenseman in Montreal's history.

I hear Zac Rinaldo is available. You don't even need to give up a 3rd rounder either. What a bargain!

One of these guys was worth signing to a 5 year, $4.625 mil AAV deal. The other was refused a 1 year, $6 mil deal despite having $8.4 mil in cap space. Can you figure out which is which?

Alzner's on the left, Markov's on the right.

So he's perfectly serviceable, better than at least half their current crop, and willing to sign for one year. Oh, and they have the cap space and he put up good, consistent numbers. And he's been a hab for life and is being forced to retire.

That's impressively dumb and mean.

In other views, I wonder how Shipachyov and Dadonov will really do in the NHL. Their deals are not insignificant in terms of money and cap hit, and quite a lot of people have them marked as first liners, and somehow I have the feeling they might not live up to the standards Radulov managed.

When the Habs crash out of the playoffs in the first round again this year, I can't wait to see the Bergevin effigy's.

He's gone from "bargain bin Bergie" to "holy poo poo this guy doesn't know what he's doing" in the space of 12 months, which is hilarious because the best thing he ever did for the Habs was fire Therrien to hire Julien - now it looks like he only did that because Molson was on the warpath for someone's head.

Drouin is gonna have to be mighty loving good to make the Habs watchable this year.
