I shudder to think what MB might be willing to give up to make this happen. Meh, Eklund has no credibility. Worry when someone else reports it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's like saying if you strike out with the hot chick at the bar, at least the ugly chick can punch you in the dick...

Wow, that almost seems like satire it's so over the top habs hahah. Really hope to see him back for a year, or two at a little cheaper. I know his agent is obviously going to pump his tires, but he said Markov is a workhorse who wants to play for 3-5 more years. Ans honestly, it's the cerebral side of Markov's game that's keeping him going. Like a Nik Lidstrom lite, I could see it happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Sign Markov and we have to most expensive d-core in the league. Not sure that's the brightest idea for a team that can't bury.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say it's a two way street with Markov. The problem is now Bergevin has spent too much on Alzner(13 pts last season) to keep Markov. It's just so much money spent on the back end. Especially for the quality this team is icing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IN THE HEARTS OF MEN Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 id like to see them invest all or close to all of their remaining cap on another top end forward talent preferably C. id also like to see them concentrate on McKinnon and not Dush or tavares. also maybe seeing who can be had a little cheaper because of teams cap strapped like Wash etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illWill Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 I will be quite upset if Markov isn't resigned. He has been very underrated throughout his career and has often been the best player for this team. I also love seeing a player get drafted and retire with the same team. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schlemko in 2.1 Jerabek in, Nesterov out... money is a wash (925 on both) Meh, its a small bit more expensive than last year, but not significantly. Anywhere from 1 million to 2 million more depending where Markov comes in. That said. Alzner vs Emelin Schlemko vs Beaulieu Jerabek vs Nesterov The talent is increased significantly over last year (if Markov returns) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stogey24 Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 It just seems like at this point Bergevin has played his cards as if Markov isn't coming back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got 9 million in cap space that he hasn't used. He has 22 men on his 23 man roster filled. Seems to me he's leaving a lot of money, and 1 roster spot open. He's left himself the room for Markov to come back or the room to replace him if he doesn't. I see the cards held close to the chest, leaving him options both ways... not a guy who has played his hand yet. Thats just me though.

Lovett's Magnatones Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 What about Cody Franson? Not sure if I would want him, but Bergevin traded Gorges for him, before Gorges used his NTC. I could see Bergevin signing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commandant Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 for cheap ok. but hes a rhd, where LHD is the greater need. Though the move would flip benn to the left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What would that make the price for MacKinnon, a player who has a lot more value? That'd be what, Galchenyuk, Drouin, Pacioretty, and a 1st rounder or two? (Don't get me wrong, that's an extreme overpayment but if the price on Duchene (someone deemed to be available) was that high, that's going to be the asking price for MacKinnon (someone who they've called untouchable).)

That is just nuts. Sakic took one too many to the noggin. I think they should have kept Patrick and made Sakic the stick boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
