It's never easy to part with an old soldier, but if the Montreal Canadiens organization intends to move Andrei Markov, it would get the best return for him right now.
Many won't like this who are sentimental, but you have to at least shop Markov. Perfect 2nd pair D for cup run for team going for it.

Markov has had an injury-plagued career since he first broke into the league in 2000-01; a season in which he played 63 games. He never played a full 82-game campaign until 2007-08.
