I heard that about someone else. I think he was a goalie, once. Sarcasm
oh come on man! don't compare him to the glass man....
Markov doesn't succumb to every nick and bruise that he faces. I would of given him a two year if they couldn't give him just 1 but if he stays healthy they'll be happy as hell with that.

Of course they will. If he stays healthy and produces like he can, he's well worth the money. The problem is that this contract represents Montreal's gamble that he will stay healthy. I don't think he can.

Why wouldn't he stay healthy, he got injured in 2 freak accidents. It's not like he's concussion prone or anything ?

It's a risk but not as big as it sounds.

Bigger question is how his mobility will be after those knee injuries.

exactly, not the biggest risk. he's a dedicated player. i imagine he's going thru all the right steps to rehab that knee. it's been a while since he's hit the ice. they're not forcing him to return therefore he's had more time to bring it back in shape.

That's it in a nutshell. Freak accident or not, he's had his Achilles tendon and now ACL surgically reconstructed. How will this affect *his* style of play is the big question.

Sign Markov? Absolutely. 3 years at market value? Poor decision. Even if he is healthy the next 3 years the best the Habs can do is get their money's worth.
