How did the Maple Leafs' blockbuster trade for Kirill Marchenko come together?
Hour two overdrive continues, powered by FanDuel, Brian Hayes, Theodog, Jeff O'Neal, Jamie Noodles, McClennan. We're still waiting on details here on this deal that's uh Gonna be coming in at some point. It has to be happening now. And uh we believe Kiro Marchenko is gonna be a maple leaf in exchange for Matthew Nice, but uh Pierre Le Brun our T S N hockey insider Reporting six players are involved. Now Elvis Merz Leakin's is one of them, the goaltender, but he's on long term IR. Yeah,
and his shoulder surgery, I believe. So he's
summers. So he's not playing anytime soon.
Anytime soon. No. And he I think he's on the last year of his deal at four and a half or something like that.
That might be a buyout scenario, or maybe you try to flip 'em or you just place them all. You gotta make the money work.
Right what they're trying to do is probably figure out the money. Now yeah, you're right. L T I R for sure. So who do the Leafs have on LTIR then? It's just Domey and then it'll be Murz Leakins.
Domey, Murz Leakins. I mean Dakota Joshua, I believe, is starting the year on IR. That doesn't mean it's long term IR, right. There's a
discrepancy difference.
Dreg's tweeting that Nyes has been informed he's been traded. Um which again, I better I hope so for his sake. Could you imagine? This would just be wild if they came to it. Dude,
I told you, man, if this thing fell through I don't know what his Plan would have been But he he would never play. I
do wonder If They were yeah, they were w they would be working on a deal like this for a long time. Marchenko has been available for quite some time. But If you're Checa and company read the room on Nice when he got to camp and they saw him with a little bit of a face on and said we got it we gotta do it now. We can't he's he's done. Like he knows we've been trying to flip him. Watch him play, watch him skate, maybe they're seeing him interact. This is my speculation. Dude, it would
be deflating if you're kind of behind the scenes.
I wonder if a part of it was it's just gone too far. We gotta move on him now. And it's not that you're moving on him for the sake of it because you're getting Marchenko back who's a really good player. But it may have pushed it over the line, like we have to move off.
I hope they just didn't grinscrew him though and be like, No, no, we're not trading you never never, you're part of the future here.
They all do it like Cheka just did it two weeks ago. He's like, Yeah, that was tree living, man. Go talk to that guy. I don't know like, you know. No, he's a big part of the organization. Two weeks later. Yeah.
It's not worse than the biggest grin screw of all time. We're not trading you. Mustigh? The Vegas summer camp to DeMar. Number one on the It is the biggest m Colin Montgomery. Like put up a Monty
the biggest grinscrews of all time in sports. He put on a Monty face, grins screwed Damar and said, We're never trading you. In
the morning he was gone.
Well, do you remember Damar's like Instagram story or whatever? Remember he wrote a whole thing saying this guy told me this and Oh yeah.
The next time we're in studio, we're gonna get Monty face cards made up and
just go through some grin screws.
Yeah.
Because that that wasn't all Ms. Never.
What does Kirill Marchenko's six-year, $12.5 million extension mean for Toronto?
Love ya. Love
you. Hawaii's on line too. Give me a hug. We're never doing this. That was a grin screw.
Chris Johnson coming up. It sounds like Marchenko's getting a six year deal at twelve point five million. So that'll be the extension. Now that's not this year. He's got another year left, which I don't know exactly what his cap bit is this year. Look that up, Doogie. I
believe it's like four
something. Okay, four, four point one I thought it was. And then next year though he kicks in at twelve and a half.
Like the cost of doing business, we were just talking about it. What would make you fall out of your seat or not? Like we have to reset what used to be eight or nine is now ten, eleven, twelve. So it's a lot of money. That's right. But again, the cap's going up. People in your top six, your top four D, your starting goaltenders, they're all gonna get paid.
