http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=208871&hubname= TSN's sister station in Quebec RDS reports that the Montreal Canadiens have offered defenceman Andrei Markov a four-year contract worth just over $5 million a season.

He could be like Guerin last year...

It seems like this year cup will be at 47-48M and next year around 51M... I think that Datsyuk contract isn't that bad at all... I live in Québec and trust me every damn night I'm listning about Habs... so I'm pretty sure that he will ask at least 4M. Gainey has no choice than give him top dollar - no one wants to play in Montreal... BTW Ryder is RFA and there is a chance that Habs might want to trade him... We could have him at the begining of the last season for Lang...

I wrote 1 BIG STAY AT HOME DEF + 1 OFFENSIVE DEF (RIGHT HAND) Sarich as stay at home DEF +Â Preissing as offensive DEF Markov is going to ask 4-5m and Rafalski around 5M so we can't get those guys...

I would like to know from people who voted non - why???

UFA DEF Andy Sutton Brad Ference Jim Vandermeer (RFA) Vitali Vishnevsky Kimmo Timonen Sean Hill Tom Preissing (right hand shot) Scott Hannan Craig Rivet (right hand shot) Cory Sarich (right hand shot) John Erskin (RFA) depth UFA FORWARDS Danius Zubrus Scott Walker Michael Handzus Ian Laperriere Scott Hartnell Aaron Asham Todd Fedoruk Evgeny Artyukin (RFA) depth Jeff Cowan Taylor Pyatt We need one offensive def (righ hand shot) and one BIG stay at home def. We need some muscles and 2nd line forward Homer - Pavel - Zetterberg Bert - Handzus - Grigorenko (Pyatt) Maltby - Draper - Cleary Franzen - Fillpula - Grigorenko (Laperriere/Asham) Lidstrom - Sarich/Preissing Kronwall - Chelios Lilja - Lebda

Handzus would make more sense than Drury, Gomez or Briere...

Very true, that's why Laperriere, Sutton, Sarich or Rivet are need!!!

No way... He was asking for .900K... I don't know where did you found that info but it's not true!!!

I know he's RFA - and Tampa will trade him... I don't want him to score 30 goals but he can bring other things that this team need = TOUGHNESS!!!

Pyatt would nice addition... but what about ARTYUKHIN????

Getzlaf and that's it... He's going to be superstar in NHL. Great player!!!

I'm not sure that Giguere was better - yes he made more saves than Hasek but it's not like he made 20 huge saves... he made 20 easy saves come up with some good saves but he didn't won that game by himself... he's no Miller or Brodeur or even Hasek at this stage. Hasek was better in all those games... Ducks are going after Hasek... every single occasion they bumping him, they are talking to him (trash)... We needs to be more agressive with their goalie. We shoot a lot - it's true - but 80% of those shots are not dangerous. I'm sure that tomorrow night Hasek will be our best player - but guys like Maltby, Draper, Samuelsson must provide some energy. Sammy ''saved'' us against San Jose (he scored 3 big goals in that series but before that he was invisible and after that he's invisible... with all playing time that he gets... he MUST produce more or REmove him from PP...) Splitting Zetterberg and Datsyuk paid off in first game but last 2 games it doesn't work... I still think that we can win tomorrow night - we already killed them 5-0 in that building - why not repeat that??? Let's stay POSITIVE!!! LET'S GO RED WINGS LET'S GO!!!

:looney:

Hasek played very well last game... what else he should do??? Score goals??? C'mon our Def is weak and that's it...

So what????

What's your problem man??? Maybe you should try to find you a girlfriend or a boyfriend...

I think that Bert is going to have a BIG GAME!!! We are going to win 2-1...

So you want to split Henrik and Pavel = Mikael on the 2nd line =

I would like to see Calder and Bert together!!!! Without Lang...

You must be joking!!!!???? NONSENSE!!! We need Bert - I don't know what's going on in Bab's head - Flames are going to be hungry today...
