The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired forward Kirill Marchenko from the Columbus Blue Jackets and subsequently signed him to a six-year extension with a $12.5-million cap hit, Marchenko's agent, Dan Milstein, announced Monday.
Toronto sent forwards Matthew Knies and Steven Lorentz, defenseman Emil Andrae, and a second-round pick to Columbus for Marchenko, forward Miles Wood, and goaltender Elvis Merzlikins, the teams announced.
Marchenko was set to become a restricted free agent next summer and had recently been noncommittal about signing a new deal in Columbus after reports surfaced over the summer that he wanted out.
