Not only Bob, but of course Tarasov too, as well as Nikita Nikitin and the legendary Alexander Svitov (apparently he can be also the coaching candidate you are looking for).
Player Discussion: Kirill Marchenko thread

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard to mentally separate people who are Russian from the Russian govt or its actions.
Seems like a lot of “respectful” comments came from Latvians who weren’t too kind to their own Elvis very recently.
It gets easier the further away from Russia you live. To their neighbors (which some in the comments are from) the difference is not much for obvious reasons.
Trans-Siberian line is the obvious choice, and nobody would hate it except some confused conservatives

Really thankful to have him on and off the ice. Hope he plays here forever
Lol all the zoo jokers are going to have to eat their words. It turns out it's a big draw!
Such a great fit between the team and Kirill. He's become our most responsible young player and we also appreciate his fun personality.

They love animals eh? With a new long-term contract with nice signing bonus they could buy land somewhere in Central Ohio and have a farm there?

First glance at the Jackets' CapFriendly page. Didn't realize they had so many talented young players hitting RFA.
Seems like with the right coaching staff (and with the seemingly diminished nature of some of the other teams in their division) they could seriously challenge sooner than expected.
What does Marchenko's next deal look like?

People here seem to have different thoughts on the deals for RFAs. Ideally I’d like to see the promising ones get more than a bridge deal, but I think bridge deals are the way to go with KJ, Chinakov, and Sillinger. Marchenko - clearly a top 6 winger - is the one guy I want to lock up for a 5 year deal though I’m not sure what AAV that’d be.

It's a one year prove it deal. No way he gets more than that after one 23 game end of season heater. Can't see him getting more than $1.25M.
4x4-4.5M is my guess for Marchenko
He’ll most likely get a league minimum prove it deal

Sounds about right.
But the thought that $1.25m is a "minimum" is amusing in the real world.

Tell me about it. If it weren't for my moderator salary I don't know how I'd get by.

I'm one of the proponents of bridging them all but if I had to go longer on one it would be Marchenko. I'd go higher $ to keep him rfa next time around. 3x4mm/

boohoo, Pens "fans", BOOHOO
Sharangovich's deal was all UFA seasons and he's coming off a more consistent 59 pt season, something Marchenko hasn't come close to yet, so I think it would be a million or so less than that.
And I'd be fine with $4.75m x 5 with Marchenko. We don't have a single long term contract for a young player.

Waddell seemed pretty confident that he’d get a deal done with the RFAs before arbitration. I think that’ll be full speed ahead after a coach is named.
I think the team will try to go 2-3 years. He may try for 4-5.
I would say 2 years 3.5 first year, 4.5 second year. AAV 4 million.

I like Marchenko a lot. I am guessing a 2 year at $2.75 million/year or a 5 year at $4 million/year.

I'm pretty sure that I recently read that the CBJ have never gone to arbitration with a player. If true, then it's probable that they won't with KM. I'd guess a Chinakov type of deal (2 years/$2 million and change) is the most likely outcome. I'd think Waddell would be leery of signing any of the younger players longer term while the team has cost control and prior to seeing how they perform regularly and with a competent coaching staff.
I understand why parties want to avoid arbitration but if it happens it's not that big a deal. It should be understood that the club is going to try to make any player look like a disposable 4th line plug and the player's representatives are going to make him look like a McDavid-in-waiting. It's just a business exercise-it's not personal.
On a completely unrelated item, Does anyone else's brain read "Kill" Marchenko when they read his name quickly?

I've posted this before but I always imagine his name said the way Geddy intros this song.
