I think Marchenko will eventually be the better player, so it should turn out to be a good trade for the Leafs. Marchenko was on an expiring contract and was very unlikely to re-sign, so it is also good for the Blue Jackets. All of the other players involved in trade are unlikely to swing the trade either way, except for maybe the 2nd round pick the Leafs gave up. permalink fedilink source parent
