Reports say Andrei Markov wants 2 years 6 million. Also, while you've created a solid team, I think you still haven't fixed the Canadiens scoring issues. Just look at Nail Yakupov.

I'm pretty sure that Markov is able to compromise knowing he's old and the burden he might pose. Also, since Markov is representing himself, I have difficulty believing those reports because neither him or Bergevin would leak. As to the scoring problem, I think reuniting Yakupov and Gally while having Drouin on that line allows all the players to get the well needed spark and energy to become top scorers. It's just a bet, but look how well the risk worked with Radulov last year
