NHL Rumors: Is There Any Truth to the Kirill Marchenko Trade Rumors
Host: “All right, so if Kirill Marchenko were to maneuver, it does seem that the value tag can be very high if Montreal still wants to amass this player?”
Anthony Di Marco: “Yeah, I might imagine so. Yeah, needless to say.”
Host: “What wouldn’t it take out of Montreal?”
Di Marco: “You usually jump to Reinbacher and Hage. Like, if I’m Don Waddell, I’m asking for Michael Hage. You don’t know what this future is surrounding Cayden Lindstrom. Sorry for butchering the primary name, but he’s had some back problems. A fourth overall pick, I consider, from two years ago, and also you don’t have much center depth beyond that.
You lose your captain, Boone Jenner, albeit in his early to mid-30s at this point. But I believe Hage is a man that you just can be asking for in the event you’re the Columbus Blue Jackets, after which if not, possibly you go to David Reinbacher.
NHL Rumors: Montreal Canadiens Make a Move When It’s Least Expected?
They’ve quite a lot of left shooters on that back end in Columbus. Ivan Provorov, Denton Mateychuk, obviously Zach Werenski, but I believe those are the 2 guys- well, Reinbacher would slide in nicely beside one among those two, one among those three guys. And I believe Reinbacher, together with Michael Hage, must be the ask or the place to begin a minimum of in the event you’re Don Waddell.”
NHLRumors.com Note: The Montreal Canadiens and Kirill Marchenko have been linked going back to the 2026 NHL Draft. There are conflicting reports in regards to the player’s trade status. Nonetheless, if the Canadiens were to trade for him, teams can be asking for a few of their top prospects like Michael Hage and David Reinbacher. That is perhaps a bridge too high to cross for the Canadiens. Nonetheless, Columbus will likely be trying to get good value in return for a player who can rating 30 goals.
Nonetheless, could Columbus and Montreal discuss one other player at a cheaper price, because the Canadiens proceed to attend within the wings, biding their time to make a move to upgrade their team?
