also put up the most points out of the 3
- DoubleDown

True. Not saying there isn't value, just not as much as some think there would be.

Markov is by far the slowest of those three. That being said, I'm thinking big D and pick/prospect.
- Routs

Markov's strenght is his positional play and ice vision, so the fact that he's slow does not really matter.

Not comparing both players, but that's pretty much why Lidstrom won a Norris at 39

can't recall.

That's how it starts...

How's that? Seemed to matter when the Sens were blowing by him in the playoffs.

Markov's drop in speed is ridiculous though. And once Emelin went down it was even more obvious. I just think its time for the team to get some value for him while they can.

He clearly stated that he wasn't comparing the two. Just stating a similar talent that both players have. This comment is for what?

Next up, the New York Rangers traded Christian Thomas to Montreal for Danny Kristo straight up. In other words….they stole Kristo. All I've heard from Montreal scouts for the past two years is how concerned they are about his off-ice maturity and while his behavior during his freshman and sophomore seasons at North Dakota definitely gave just cause for such concern, his bout with frostbite (a consequence of his poor decisions) was a turning point for him. His focus off the ice has improved dramatically and it's been reflected by his performance on the ice. The thought of losing his toes and being unable to play hockey professionally was a ginormous wake up call and he's cleaned up his act. I thought this was in the past when Montreal signed him, but let this be a lesson to young hockey players every where…reputations are had to shake so make sure you earn a good one.

As far as New York is concerned, I think it's a great opportunity for both sides and Kristo will be very comfortable with guys like Kreider, Stepan, McDonagh and Bourque in the locker room. A comfortable Kristo is a confident Kristo and a confident Kristo is a successful Kristo. Huge win for the Rangers.

HUGE win.


Stormey would say "a landslide".

"Shines bright"... He's talking about the contrast between his ebony skin and white teeth, or the love of black people for shiny things? Either way, that's rude.

But come on, Markov is always such a strong playoff performer. We can forgive him this one time, right???
