One of the most beloved Montreal Canadiens defensemen was Andrei Markov.
Several fans were disappointed not to have seen him be honored at the same time as PK Subban, in January 2023.
These fans will be able to console themselves that the Russian will be in town next December, but not for the reasons that everyone hopes.
Markov will offer a signing session on December 7, much like Joshua Roy should have done.
All this will take place in Dollard-des-Ormeaux precisely.

Here’s hoping Markov shows up… not like Joshua Roy.
For that, there should be no problem since he has always been a reliable guy throughout his career.
However, what concerns me the most is why would Markov travel to Montreal for a simple signing session?
It doesn’t make sense for him to leave Russia to go to Dollard-des-Ormeaux and sign various items for CH supporters.
Markov has always loved playing in Montreal, but does he love the city that much?
Personally, I think there is something fishy going on.
Since Subban was honored on January 12, 2023 and Markov was not there, almost every fan has been eagerly waiting for him to be honored.
If we do 1+1, that actually makes 2 and that is the most logical explanation.
However, this is not the only explanation.
We know that CH was possibly looking for another assistant coach to support Martin St-Louis in this season of misery.
And many amateurs, even some experts, saw Markov as a good potential deputy.
He could also take care of the numerical advantage, which would free up this load for MSL.
It should be noted that this option is very unlikely.
Several reasons can explain this sudden announcement of Markov’s return to Quebec and we should know more next month.
