Markov is taking contact for the first time this season and might be an option to play this week. Those of you hoping to pluck him off waivers should do so now.
As previously explained, don't invest too much more in this oft-injured defenseman.

Markov's prognosis continues to get worse and worse. Kind of hard to justify his roster spot, or IR slot, when his timetable continues moving back.
