Leafs acquire and extend Kirill Marchenko

[CarltonTheBear]

Chayka says that Wood will start with the Marlies and get a chance to work his way back to the NHL. His contract will likely never look good but I still think there's some potential there as far as a 4th line player goes. His and Duhaime's speed would be crazy together if he can.

Merzlikins recovery period was expected to be 4-6 months, with his surgery taking place a month ago. So barring a set-back he would be expected to return at some point this season.

Any trade protection in Marchenko's new contract? I don't see any online.

10 team no trade list

They could waive him and bury him with $3.28 M cap charge if they can't find someone to take his contract - or find a new home for Stolarz if he's healthy enough to play effectively for the Leafs ...

Question was about Marchenko, not Merzlikins.

It doesn't look like any details about Kirill's deal has been released yet aside from the basics.

Good timing...

32 Thoughts had that fun note about Marchenko being amenable to extending in Montreal over the summer, but not so sure about Toronto.

He must've watched the Matthews and McKenna shows in preseason.

He wore 34 in the KHL because AM34 was his favorite player.
