how many cups does Markov have ? How many stellar playoffs has he had in his career ? NONE
If Markov was 29 and I could work with him until we MAYBE are ready to compete for something , sign him .
At 36 in December , in decline, he should be a second pairing d man playing 20 minutes tops a night and no need for 3 years at stupid money
Cliff Fletcher was a moron , patching and bandaiding to futility and thats what we will do inking him to 3-4 years
We didnt lose because of Markov , I clearly stated we lost cause our top 6 is NOT GOOD ENOUGH , to win a war of attrition and as constructed will never be good enough .
Regardless what Markov does , we are missing 2 ELITE talents to get to the next level , PK and Price are elite , thats it , we need 2 more.
Dont be silly Max is 25 not 36 on a great cap number why would I trade him unless I rip someone off like we were raped in the Gomez deal . Max is good , he could score 40 for all I care , until he gets his lazy
perimeter ass involved in the play and COMPETES like a top forward , he is not elite in my books . Carter , Wiliams, Gaborik , Kopitar outplayed him , even the Kings secondary players outplayed him.
