Montreal's Marchenko Haul Bigger Than Expected

The Canadiens' trade package to acquire Kirill Marchenko turned out to be more substantial than initial reports suggested. Montreal apparently gave up more assets than the hockey world anticipated to land the talented forward. This kind of overpayment can haunt a franchise if the player doesn't deliver, but it also signals how badly the Canadiens wanted to make a splash. The full scope of what Montreal surrendered raises questions about whether GM Marc Bergevin got fair value.
