The Montreal Canadiens allowed one of their longest tenured defensemen in franchise history to walk away two years ago. Andrei Markov wasn’t given the type of contract offer he felt was fair, so he packed his bags and headed to Russia where he played in the KHL for the past two seasons.
Although there is nothing concrete as of yet, Andrei Markov is eyeing a return to the NHL. His agent Sergei Isakov has even been in contact with the Montreal Canadiens organization regarding his client according to a report coming out of Russia yesterday.
Andrei Markov’s agent Sergei Isakov said to Sport24 that he has been in touch with Montreal.
