It's amazing.

What the hell are the Oilers expecting in return???

They should be lucky to get a 3rd...

I don't know. But it's the same thing every single year, and every single year he stays put.

For a team that sucks as much as the Oilers, they sure seem to ask a lot for their players.

just hope the Habs aren't the ones who overpay for him

How are they even close to be related?

Philips was on some teams radar. He is off the board, means they focus on what is out there. Markov is still out there, even though MB will not trade him. He will sign him to a 4 year deal.

never go to the barn dance with him

Wouldn't want to be across the table from him at an arbitration case

If they were ever going to trade for it would have been A. Kostitsyn and a 3rd for him

Not biting. (frank) off.

Well everyone wanted to trade Markov before losing him for nothing so I'm just throwing out suggestions.

Plus NYI lost Streit so they need to replace him with another ex-hab soon to be washup

I just don't see how team having their eyes on Chris Phillips would turn to Andrei Markov... anyway.

and it does not matter as MB will not move him. He believes Markov is part of the Cup run the Habs are getting ready for.

I'm ok with that if he picks up a top 6 and doesn't gut the team to do it. If ever there was a year to roll the laughing bones this might be it.
