 | Will the Andrei Markov injury in Montreal create a trade opportunity between the |
 Adrian Dater
It might.
Last night, the Canadiens lost top defenseman Andrei Markov to a cut tendon from the skate blade of Carey Price, and he could be out four months.
The Avs benched veteran Ruslan Salei on opening night. They’ve also got a high-paid guy (Brett Clark) in the last year of his contract. The Habs will get some long-term cap relief with Markov’s injury (he’s making $5.75 million this year and next) and could take on a guy like Salei or Clark at their $3 million-plus salaries. Scott Hannan is making $4.5 million, too, and there have been plenty of whispers the Avs offered him in trade this off-season. He has a no-trade clause, but anything is possible.
Whether the Habs would want any of those guys is unknown right this second, but they’ve got to find a proven defenseman soon. Stay tuned.
