Weekes: Marchenko’s camp tells me that as of now he’s unlikely to re-sign with Blue Jackets (post 221)

Hey, don't sleep on Laine.

He's taking a fortnite to decide his next destination

Well he’s now 2 days away from 2 fortnite’s.

Do we even know why Marchenko is not willing to re-sign/extend in Columbus? Has he mentioned any preferred destinations?

Curious why a lot of folks think that Montreal is the prime candidate for a trade?

Clicks/ lots of assets

that bus trip could injure him

We'll just bubble wrap and duct tape him to the seat, he'll be fine *crosses fingers*

In order: nobody knows, no he has not, and Montreal has a large and thirsty fanbase.

I think Montreal's interest in Marchenko is pretty well established at this point.

We know Montreal was in discussions with CBJ about Marchenko earlier this summer. Now this new RG report that says Montreal and Utah are two of the most interested teams.

Marchenko and Demidov are friends off-ice and Montreal needs to get bigger up front. They also had interest in Knies who has a similar profile.

I think it's clear that Montreal is interested in Marchenko, obviously we don't know if they're the front runner or even if Marchenko is interested in them.

What would it take from Tampa?

Why do Russian players like Chinakhov and Marchenko keep requesting out of Columbus ? Bobrovsky and Panarin walked after that playoff victory over Tampa some years ago. I would have guessed they would stop drafting Russians and maybe that is why they passed on Demidov.

Because there was a rumour that the habs were interested and made an offer around the draft or a little after. So you know how the rest goes, habs fans keeps thinking the habs are first on the list if he is traded.

Marchenko was drafted before any of that.

You do have a point with the Demidov thing though. Plus it was weird getting scouts over there at the time.

I don't think Tampa could realistically do anything to get him, they wont trade Guentzel, Hagel, Cirelli. Kucherov is too old for Columbus to want. And they aren't interested in prospects.

Columbus is not very attractive to players and has a small Russian population.
