Danny Markov may play in Russia
According to a translation done via George @ Snapshots, defenseman Danny Markov is 50/50 on his likelihood of playing in Russia versus the NHL.
Yesterday the correspondent of “The Soviet Sports” Vladislav DOMRACHEV in conversation with the general manager of “Vityaz” Alexei Zhamnov has taken an interest about prospects Markov to become in the player of Chekhovian club.
Zhamnov: I met Daniel both in the USA, and in Moscow where it came to have a rest, - have told Zhamnov. - If at [the time he] will not turn out to sign the contract with club of NHL it for certain will lead this season [with] us. At least first of all Markov will be considered with the offer of “Vityaz,” and already then from other clubs of a superleague.
Domrachev: What now probability to see Markov in this season in [the] superleague?
Zhamnov: Fifty on fifty.
Obviously, I’d like to see the physicality Markov brings back on the Red Wings, but we have so many solid defenseman waiting to get a roster spot that we don’t need to re-sign him. I understand why GM Ken Holland would not be willing to pay more than the $2.5 million/year salary.
