Episode Details

Montreal Canadiens are targeting Kirill Marchenko, Columbus’ 25-year-old scoring winger with 67 points last season, as a key trade piece to boost their offense ahead of the 2026 offseason. With Marchenko entering the final year of his contract, Montreal sees a chance to land him before he hits unrestricted free agency in 2027 — a move that could mirror their successful past acquisition strategy. Columbus, while reluctant, is reportedly open to offers involving top prospects or draft picks. If Montreal pulls off this deal, they’d instantly upgrade their lineup with a proven, dynamic scorer poised to thrive in their young core.
