Joe, you could be correct; but, you know it wouldnt matter who he played 3 on 3, we would split hairs and say should of played someone else, because in hindsight they didnt score and lost.
1st round pick, cap space and open roster spot for younger replacement. Kulikov-Buff-Girardi, or the like.
No team will seriously think Markov would resign with Habs, that is very rare I think, has maybe only happened once or twice.
