Could Kirill Marchenko be traded soon?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Daria Tuboltseva of RG.org<\/strong><\/a>: A source who’s near Columbus Blue Jackets forward Kirill Marchenko, said that Marchenko expects to be traded within the near future. Trade talks are ongoing and Blue Jackets are working on finalizing a deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cKirill is actually between two teams immediately,\u201d a source near the player told RG.org. \u201cThe parties at the moment are negotiating the terms of the trade.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Blue Jackets haven\u2019t been actively shopping Marchenko, but have said they might listen. The Montreal Canadiens have shown interest in Marchenko earlier this offseason and will still be in the combination. Marco D\u2019Amico has been saying that the Canadiens have been in search of a top-six forward and that Marchenko is considered one of the higher options that is out there. Marchenko\u2019s within the last yr of his contract, so there would likely be some contract talks between his camp and the acquiring team.<\/p>\n

The Montreal Canadiens can only really offer up futures<\/p>\n

Dan Milstein<\/strong><\/a>: \u201cCan\u2019t confirm or deny, but last I checked there have been some pretty steep tariffs on exporting elite talent to or from Canada immediately\u2026 \u201d<\/p>\n

Connor Bedard told the Chicago Blackhawks he wasn\u2019t thinking about any offer sheet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

OverDrive<\/strong><\/a>: Connor Bedard said that he was never thinking about signing a proposal sheet, and to the Chicago Blackhawks firstly that he had no intentions of signing one.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, not, in no way to be honest with you. You understand, for me,\u00a0I let sort of allow them to know from the beginning and offer sheet wasn\u2019t something I used to be ever gonna do. I feel, not, not that there\u2019s anything flawed with that. I\u2019m, you understand, extremely completely satisfied for Leo, and you understand he\u2019s an incredible player, and that\u2019s he\u2019s gonna be value greater than that.<\/p>\n

You understand. But only for me, the, you understand,\u00a0the danger of, you understand, not being a Blackhawk wasn\u2019t, you understand, value any amount of cash. So you understand they knew that, and and we I didn\u2019t want to alter simply because, because that, that happened.<\/p>\n

Top players could start seeking to shorter-term deals to maximise their value<\/p>\n

Obviously, it\u2019s a, it\u2019s a special scenario with the offer sheet. And you understand we, we had good, good conversations the entire time throughout, so we were completely satisfied, completely satisfied where we landed, and I feel each side be ok with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
