Leafs acquire and extend Kirill Marchenko

[Zee]

I was promised a Werenski.

 

[Bill_Berg]

I don't get it. Knies is cheap as hell.

 

[dappleganger]

I know he just had surgery. If the expectation is he won't play this season then no harm in adding to our LTIR fund.

Otherewise, weird.

The Marchenko + Merzlikins for Knies cap money-wise does work out...

I would say Knies and Marchenko are very comparable as hockey players.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I don't remember what this means.

Knies, Woll, Benoit, and McMann were a friendship group within the team that I guess ended up being known for often going out for dinners together while on the road.

OMG the horrors!

 

[cabber24]

If we trade Knies, why would it be for a winger? You cannot moneyball Knies' beast mode.

 

[cabber24]

I am not on board with this; a defenseman or centre should be the only thing going into the shopping cart.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

It will get REALLY awkward for Knies if this trade doesn't get fully past the finish line too.

Front Office really keyed in on that Dinner Group as a problem

So 'bonding' has limits ...?

So 'bonding' has limits ...?

When it's not done at a Boston Pizza or Wendy's the answer is yes.

Leafs at 50/50 at the moment.

If Knies is slated to move, and Marchenko + Merzlikins is coming back, another Leaf SPC is going out at minimum. They could reunite Joshua with Conor Garland in Columbus.

I wonder if they'll be able to hold onto the COL 1st for taking Merzlikins instead of Voronkov.

 

[WhatIfGodWasALeaf]

If they trade Knies and a 1st they deserve a lashing.

If it's Knies + COL 1st for Marchenchko and Werenski?

Look who tapped Knies' phone

12.5 seems fine after getting one more year under 4. Leafs better not be adding more to the trade though

Don't even know the trade yet, lol

They should be the ones getting some kind of sweetener for taking Elvis.

Leafs have to take Merzilikns $5m and give Marchenko $12.5m for the next 6???
