What does the Maple Leafs–Blue Jackets blockbuster trade mean for both teams?
Alright, halfway through. Our first two hours show of the season the Kiprios Justin Born. Sammy McKee, Derek Brandale, Frank the Tank, Braska. our national hour live on sports net three sixty five ninety the fan streaming always on sports net plus Big story of the day so far coming out of Toronto with the news that the Leafs are working on a trade, if not Done already with the Columbus Blue Jackets. Marchenko, the key player on the Columbus side, hearing as many what five or six pieces involved in the trade in a few minutes we'll welcome in Elliot Friedman. Saturday night hockey. Is that what we call it now?
Uh honestly, y yes. Yes. Okay. That is what we call it now.
There you go. Come on, thirty two thoughts. Pumped. Uh we'll get into this, of course, his post earlier today got the ball rolling on uh What seems like a blockbuster type of trade, JB.
Yeah. And you know, we're gonna find out the details here in a little bit, and Elliot'll have a little bit more for us, but one of the things he tweeted was Marchenko's extension could come in somewhere around five or six years at twelve and a half million dollars. Yeah. Marchenko twenty six years old, that takes him to thirty one ish. You know, it gives him a chance to maybe get paid again and for the Leafs you get the best part of his career at a number that feels pretty palatable given everyone getting one zillion dollars.
You
know, this summer's been nuts.
I would imagine this would be a deal that also flexes the Toronto Maple Leafs financial uh ability to probably eat some money. We'll get into that with Elliot as well. But whether it's a Murzleakins contract coming over, and I think he's at about four, four and a half. Five point four. Oh gosh. Five point four. Uh they've been trying to shed uh wood.
Miles wood?
Yeah. What's wood at?
Uh two and a half. Did they just wave? Yeah, but you you want to get rid of the money. Yeah, you still gotta eat you gotta eat the money.
You gotta so I gotta pay
him the two point five I've heard
his name potent that contract potentially being involved as well. He
makes two and a half. I'm not
sure. He does.
Two and a half million? Yeah. So That's That's a type of trade I expect that
he's in year four of six of a chance. Do you think the lease would have him as well?
I think part of the equation here is is uh is eating money for Columbus.
And so They could put him obviously with the Marleys, Miles Wood, presumably.
Sure.
And just pay him the money. Yeah. He would eat one point. Or sorry, one point one five, I believe. And I d
I mean that's That that has tremendous value for for an owner that Doesn't want to pay it. Yeah. Things are a lot more challenging there financially than they are in Toronto and that yep could very well be what we see. So
they are uh Dan Milstein is has tweeted the the digits six years, twelve and a half, Marchenko in Toronto.
Yeah. Oh, that's a big number. Okay, I'm gonna quickly zoom in here for a few sex cat. Uh what did Dora Fayev sign for? Uh eleven. Eleven? It was a big number. It was a big number.
Yeah.
But I I think the twelve and a half now reflects on All the big boys who pushed it up towards eighteen and twenty million bucks.
Yeah, Dorafev eleven seven years, eleven, so seventy seven mil. See,
I would have preferred that contract. No
wurchenko. Really?
No, everybody's giving away five. That's the magic number. Everybody loves the five.
Durafe also not much of a play driver compared to Marchenko. But I I know you're not saying players, you're just saying dollars and cents, right? Yeah. So yeah, I mean that's gonna be Uh Massive shakeup for the Toronto May police roster, the Columbus Blue Jackets. Are they better today? Probably not. They do have a slightly younger player at a cheaper dollar amount, which probably appeals to them. It's tough not to see them kind of struggling in the metro though. They're
the fact that Marchenko wanted out so badly, did that speed up this process? Like with all the changes that the Leafs have made this season. Would you have not liked to see? five or ten games under your belt before you wanted to go make this move or uh you just grab 'em while you can?
