hockey23 79 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 I've seen a couple Montreal sources (never heard of them so probably unreliable) today say that the Wings are interested in Markov. This comes just a couple days after the GM meetings where Holland said he had some trade discussions. Sounds like Montreal just wants to dump him because of his injury concerns. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Pred 48 337 Report post Posted June 2, 2012 the only way the Wings take MARKOV off then HABS hands is if Alexei Emelin is part of the deal. 1 redwingfan19 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,343 Report post Posted June 3, 2012 Similar to the discussions about Hemsky before he got resigned, Markov is one of those guys i'd take in a second regardless of recent injury concern. When he's healthy he is a high scoring defensive threat, and a good leader. If the price is right, i'd take Markov on this team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dominator2005 558 Report post Posted June 3, 2012 Holland isn't stupid, he will not trade for a FINISHED player (Markov). As "Andy Pred 48" said, I would go for Emelin (Yemelin) - who reminds me of Konstantinov / Kasparaitis 1 number9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted June 7, 2012 I would take a chance on Markov... the guy has extreme upside if he can stay healthy, and that's the biggest draw with him (IF). Still, maybe the different style of hockey in Detroit could help him not be so injured all the time, not to mention, he wouldn't have to have the pressure of being "the guy" here. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted June 7, 2012 No. It's tempting but there is too much injury history to ignore and too much money on the table wasted when he doesn't play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know it seems inevitable, but the word you're looking for is not when, but if. Never assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted June 8, 2012 I am not that high on him. It would depend on how cheap. I would think of him to be a number four dman, and I think we can fill that and should focus on a top paring or two... 1 Dominator2005 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Majsheppard 203 Report post Posted June 13, 2012 I just don't think he is in the Wings top five choices to fix the backline this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Michael (the Red Wing) 422 Report post Posted June 14, 2012 No thanks on Markov. Injury proned forever. Don't even know why people want him if he can't even play half a season if that. Our team already has our injury woes dont need to add another sure fire twig to the burning bush lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
