Kirill Marchenko was one of the players who wasn’t in top form at the Blue Jackets’ training camp

Kirill Marchenko was reportedly one of the players who reported to the Columbus Blue Jackets' training camp out of shape, according to comments made by former NHL goaltender Andrew Raycroft on NHL Radio. The report emerged following a trade that sent the Russian forward from Columbus to the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The situation reportedly frustrated head coach Rick Bowness, who is known for holding his players to demanding physical standards. The article notes that under current collective bargaining agreement rules, NHL teams are no longer permitted to conduct physical testing at the start of training camp.
