Reports On Markov & Ericsson

from Snapshots at Mlive,

Two rumours popped up this morning; the first discusses a former Red Wing’s purported return to the NHL, and the other claims that a future Wing will be locked up for the next three seasons.

Sport-Express’s Alexander Shapiro claims that former Wing Danny Markov is coming back to the NHL to play for the LA Kings…

Aftonbladet’s Victor Melander and Tomas Ros say that Red Wings defenceman Jonathan Ericsson has been offered a three-year contract that would allow him to be sent down to Grand Rapids for the 2008-2009 season…

more with rough translations…

added 10:52am, Regarding Ericsson’s contract and to clarify it, the contract would be a one-way contract, but Ericsson can be sent to Grand Rapids next season without clearing waivers.  This clarification comes from a trusted reader of KK.

Never figured out why Paul’s posts have a time stamp of Atlantic Time Zone, maybe the site is on Eastern Standard not Eastern Daylight.  It can be 9:30 ET and Paul’s post will indicated posted at “10:30”.

RWBill, If you go into your member account, localization settings, you can change your time zone and make sure you check DST too.

Wow! That was too easy!

Aftonbladet is a pretty safe source--they tend to check their facts before posting stories, a la TSN, while Expressen is a little more like Sportsnet. 

I can’t really speak for the veracity of Sport-Express.  They’re my go-to Russian publication over Championat, but as Igor Larin’s the Russian version of Bruce Garrioch, it’s hard to take their reports without a grain of salt.  That being said, it wouldn’t surprise me if Markov chased bucks in LA over taking a slightly smaller deal to play for a team with a better chance of winning that has $2 million left to spend on a big, physical defenceman.  He’s a great player, but he’s not the sharpest guy.
