Marchenko will likely sign, Vornkov is likely signed too. But both start in the AHL I’d also doubt Columbus can get both Nemec and Jiricek, or that they draft both of them.

Marchenko's KHL rights expire at the end of the month - he is expected to sign shortly thereafter.

Voronkov is still under contract in the KHL for one more season.

Besides that, I'd be down for a Laine 8x8.

I want to see a little more out of Rosy before committing that term/ money to him. I'm guessing he and CBJ agree to the QO, and punt long-term talks to next offseason - he'd still be an RFA.

Getting both Nemec and Jiricek is made possible if Columbus wins the lottery but Chicago does not.

That would mean two picks in the Top 7.

Wouldn't that be something.?

Almost zero chance you get Nemec and Jiricek.

Sharks have lost 10 in a row. Jiricek is as good as ours.

If you guys beat us tonight it could definitely get close... Laine and Zach are both out for us too... I think CBJ could easily jump to 10th pick (Pre-lottery) after the sharks and ducks jump us.

Half of our lineup is AHL players, literally.

I was reading something that Voronkov was eligible to sign this offseason, it might be wrong but I remember his team backing out of the KHL playoffs due to political things going on in Russia and then asking the league not to have a playoff this year and not crown a champion.

Interesting…I didn’t know

probably not true. pretty sure hes staying there for one more season.
