Andrei Markov wants to finish his career with Montreal, but a deal has yet to be reached between him and the Habs for the skilled defenseman, who's contract expires at the end of the season. Markov is currently making $5.75 million per season, and talks are ongoing between the Habs and his agent Sergei Berezin. The Habs offered a short term deal last week to the 35 year-old last week, and though Markov hasn't accepted it yet, it appears a deal is more likely than a trade in the coming days.
