Hockey Insider Frank Seravalli breaks down the regular season eve blockbuster that sent Kirill Marchenko to Toronto on Monday in exchange for Matthew Knies and a second-round pick.

Marchenko’s trade includes a $75 million extension, which comes at a significant price hike over the $7.75 million that Knies was signed for through 2031.
