Statement released by Tampa Bay Lightning GM Julien BriseBois:
``We are aware of the media reports regarding the future of Nikita Kucherov with the Lightning. We unequivocally have no intention of trading Nikita.''

Pretty damn close to the actual trade.

Minnesota currently leads the league in both PP% and PK%.
Utah is 2nd in PP%, while Toronto is 2nd in PK%. Interesting matchup tonight

For those wondering if Jim Hiller was going to play a 1-3-1 in Toronto. He is not. It’s the very industry standard 1-2-2 in NZ for TOR.

Matthew Knies switching to No. 89 in Columbus as Sean Monahan has seniority on 23. No confirmation if Marchenko holds on to 86, yet to be worn by a Leaf.

Merzlikins underwent shoulder surgery last month snd is not in the Leafs goaltending plans.

After the trade, #Leafs are projected $3.94M over cap. They can submit their roster with Merzlikins on regular LTIR & capture LTIR within $37K of optimal.
To add more space, they can subsequently add Domi to LTIR ($3.75M) & potentially convert Merzlikins to Season Ending LTIR (adds $455K space), gaining an additional $4.20M of cap space.

$12.5M for Marchenko is fine. The final trade, according to @FriedgeHNIC:
Columbus: Knies, Lorentz, Andrae and a 2nd
Toronto: Marchenko, Wood and Merzlikins (retained salary)
Big trade for the Leafs. Maybe a bit of an overpayment, but Marchenko is the best player in the deal.

Our best guess for the opening-night lineup tomorrow.
Cowan - Matthews (C) - Marchenko
McKenna - Tavares (A) - Nylander
Wood - Paul - Roslovic
Blueger - Sissons - Duhaime
Rielly (A) - Raddysh
McCabe - Tanev
Ekman-Larsson - Stecher

Kirill Marchenko has agreed to terms on a six year, $75 million contract extension with the Toronto Maple Leafs, carrying an average annual value of $12.5 million. #WeAreGoldStar!

Hearing the Leafs-Jackets trade involving Knies and Marchenko is indeed going through. Involves six players overall including Elvis Merzlikins.
Luke Leimenstoll retweeted
If Marchenko wants anything north of $12M AAV, I’m not sure this is a wise deal for the Leafs. Marchenko is the better player, but is he really worth $5M+ more per year than Knies?
Luke Leimenstoll retweeted
There is word this afternoon the Columbus Blue Jackets and Toronto Maple Leafs are deep in discussions on a trade involving Kirill Marchenko.
More to come...
Luke Leimenstoll retweeted
Winning the draft lottery is pretty great IMO.
No idea why teams like the Canucks and Red Wings never try it
