I don’t think Markov will leave the Habs yet since there really isn’t a reason for him to leave when he is considered our best d-man here.

Thinking over a trade involving Markov isn't easy, but some comments come to my mind about what you wrote...

Detroit : we might need Lang but he's old and doesn't have the best work ethic...some guys we had before had the same problem... they got traded for not much...plus Detroit don't need another center, now that Zetterberg wants to play to the center... For Zetterberg I would trade, but I doubt they will want Ribeiro

Chicago : Hanzus ? what the hell are we going to do with him ? we already got Bonk...

Philadelphia : no way they are going to trade Gagné for that offer... he would be great in Mtl but he's not worth 5.25 millions

San Jose : McLaren in Mtl... gotta be nuts to get him... it's been 5 years, we still remember

Marleau in Montreal would really solve our problem at the center, and I would be willing to sacrifice Ribeiro, Ryder, Perezhogin... but losing our 1st defence... we keep either Perezhogin or Markov, but not both in the same trade

Colorado : we dont need Laperriere... dont know what he would do in Montreal

The only trades which I would accept concerning Markov would be if someone like Zherdev, Zetterberg or Marleau would come to Montreal, Marleau especially (would fill the "we dont have alot of Quebecois" and "a captain who doesn't speak french" problems)

What is this?? Yes, Markov is going to be UFA next year but creating a post with this title is retarded. Man, the season hasn't even begun yet and some people have already started making random trade suggestions.

Argh, and those trade ideas are no where near realistic. Bouwmeester? Marleau? I mean comeon, post something that's worth reading pleassseeee.

Being a Habs fan i would love to see that happen, but alas it will not. If you want that trade to go down you'll have to sweeten the pot. Horton will be a consitant 25 goal scorer and he's very good in his own end. Remember Souray is a UFA at the end of the year, and will most likely sign with a team on the west coast.

Markov

Ryder

Rebeiro

2nd pick

to Florida

Horton

Bowmeester

Damn right,Montreal is a culture melting pot,involving european,american and hispanic influences.

And I wouldn't understand if we let go Markov,who is the best D-Man we had in years.+13,46 points in 67 games is not too shabby for a,and I'm quoting some dudes here:at best 3rd defenseman anywhere else inthe league....rriiiiiight...

We can assume that Markov will hit the 50 point-mark and have is career year in 06-07,since it's his last year of contract,anyone who watched hockey in the last decade knows that it's always their best year...

I would ship out Sheldon and Rivet,in separated trades,to get younger.

A trade that would fit greatly:

Souray

Aebischer

2nd round

FLA:

Nathan Horton

Mike Van Ryn

He is not going anywhere. Markov has gotten better every year that he has been in the NHL and this year will be no exception. Moreover, he is the Habs only consistant point producing d-man and showed his improtance to the team when he went down with an injury. During the time he was out with an injury, the Habs were 2-11, I think. He will probably be signed to a 18 million deal over 4 years in the early Spring.

The Habs will find that centreman that they are looking for via a trade of one of their goalies and a prospect or via the free agency period next season.

Moreover, for European hockey players, playing in Montreal should be quite enjoyable as it is the most European city in North America. That could have been one of the reasons why Samsonov decided to sign in Montreal. Is this assessment of Montreal correct? I live in Vancouver and would like someone from Montreal, or has visted to Montreal, to verify or disprove my assessment.

markov is stayin cuz look at the amount of russians in our team and prospects

i honestly think huet will be a fluke by mid-season so i think gainey will trade him

souray+huet+ryder+3rd=jokinen bowmeester and 4rd
