Marchenko is coming off his first full season in the NHL. The Russian played in 66 games last season, scoring twice and adding nine assists.
Six years is a hefty commitment considering Nielsen's age and his NHL mileage.
It's no secret that the NHL is becoming a speed-driven league, with the fastest teams leaving the slowpokes in the dust.
More than 6,000 racers representing 40 states have registered for the September event.
A number of names have been thrown around as targets for GM Ken Holland, from David Backes and Andrew Ladd to Milan Lucic and Kyle Okposo.
Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is staying put in Tampa Bay.
Stamkos wasn't just a target for his name, but a target for his fit.
Two people familiar with the decision have confirmed to The Associated Press that Lightning captain Steven Stamkos is staying put in Tampa Bay.
For the Red Wings, the danger isn't in missing out on Stamkos; the danger is in failing to put together a good backup plan.
If (when) Stamkos hits the open market on July 1, let the bidding war commence.
The Detroit Red Wings announced today that left wing Drew Miller has been signed to a one-year contract extension.
The first player featured just happened to be Steven Stamkos, the top pick in 2008.
The Coyotes obtained the No. 16 pick, used to select defenseman Jakob Chychrun, with Datsyuk in exchange for the No. 20 pick, a second-round pick (No. 53 overall) and forward Joseph Vitale. Detroit selected defenseman Dennis Cholowski at No. 20.
Datsyuk announced last week that he would be leaving the team to play in his home country of Russia.
The Red Wings hold the 16th pick in the first round, so gazing into their draft future is pretty much futile.
