You're not alone.....I took him as part of a trade this year....I think this year he re-gains some of his old form and surprises a lot of people.....then I can trade him to one of those delusional "Habs" fans in my pool for an inflated price.....
This being said, it's all or nothing for this guy. I'm giving him a 1 year tryout on my team, make or "break" if you will.

My vote Markov....high risk, high reward. Next for me would be Nikitin.
