Thoughts on Kirill Marchenko?

[WarriorofTime]

He turned 24 years old over the summer. He is in his third season in North America/the NHL after going in the 2nd round back in 2018. He has been promoted to Top Line/Top PP for the Columbus Blue Jackets. He has begun the season with 8 points in 5 games.

What do you think of his game now and moving forward?

He’s arguably been the best Blue Jacket this season so far on par with Werenski and Chinakhov.

But that shouldn’t be a surprise, he set Jackets franchise record in goals for a rookie skater in his first season, you knew he was going to be a solid player right away

Should be able to do a lot more damage this year with being on the top line and actually getting to play with a top 6 quality center.

Could see a consistent 30-30 type of player.

I think he could put up 30-30 this year, and peak higher than that...

Yeah ofc, when I say consistent 30-30 guy, I just mean that is the type of production you expect to get from him year after year. Ofc he could and will likely have seasons better than that.

Confirms my eye test. Nice to feel validated lol.

He's been awesome. Marchy and Monahan have instant chemistry. He's quickly grown into our most consistent forward.

I get he's been injured, but I dont understand the hate for the Monahan signing. He's been exactly what this team needed.

What does this mean ?

Are Money hands, Marchenko and Cninakov a line ?

I'll take anything and everything positive for Columbus at this moment

They were but dropped Chinakhov with Fantilli to try and give him an option to work with.

Been quite a fan of his game for at least 2 seasons now. Very glad to see him do well.

PDO cast made a nice mix of his from last season.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Good sniper who seems to always score against NYR

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Don’t really see how this relates to
Lane Hutson
Michkov
Or
Demidov

 

[Stickpucker]

Really good player who stands out each time I see him play.

[SoundAndFury]

Going back to his junior days, no surprise about this at all. The kid had it. For all the cries in Podkolzin, Michkov, and similar threads, Marchenko and Morozov are the ones who should have had a legitimate beef with how SKA handled them. The fact that he wasn't even on the KHL roster for the playoffs definitively proved there is bias against some players.

good goal scoring, decent playmaking, good puck skills, responsible. He's improved a ton since his rookie season and now is actually on a line with good chemistry. Last couple years line construction was throw who should on paper be the best out there together and try and force it until something happens. He did work well with Chinakhov-Voronkov but the last coach didn't like the creative hockey they were playing
