Things Might Turn Out Differently Than Expected

Markov, who has foregone an agent and is representing himself in contract negotiations, is reportedly asking for a two-year contract at $6 million per season. That’s a lot to swallow, especially for a defenseman who will turn 39 in the upcoming season.

Montreal Gazettes' Stu Cowen met with his former anger Sergei Berezin.

I wish it was done by now. … He’s working on it … he’s representing himself and that’s quite an experience. I wish him well and I’m sure everything’s going to be all right. I know he has a few options.”

“I don’t want to go ahead and tell something to the media while he’s negotiating … it’s up to him when he decides it’s time to talk to the media,” Berezin added. “He played in Montreal for 16 years … you don’t have to be a genius to figure out that it’s his second home.
