Montreal Canadiens: Andrei Markov wishes to become a full-time coach
The least we can say is that Andrei Markov has left a mark on the Montreal Canadiens organization, having played all 990 of his NHL games with the team.
Known as "The General," he was the last power-play specialist the Canadiens had at the point. He helped many defensemen look good when paired with him.
Names like PK Subban, James Wisniewski, Mike Komisarek, Sheldon Souray, and many others greatly benefited from Andrei Markov's talent.
Drafted as a forward, the former #79 was converted to defenseman, which turned out to be excellent. He had a remarkable career.
While his playing career may be over, his coaching career is just beginning. Andrei Markov has been behind a bench since hanging up his skates but has yet to hold a full-time position.
He is now ready to make the leap. He mentioned this to Sergey Demidov and seems genuinely ready for more responsibilities.
Given the vacant assistant position with the Canadiens, his history with the team, and the skills he had on the ice, Andrei Markov has been linked to the Canadiens.
With many young, quality defensemen and the power play needing a new conductor, it's no surprise that people are connecting Andrei Markov to the assistant coach role with Martin St-Louis.
