There's a possibilty that Chayka was unaware of the tagging rule and made the decision to trade for Marchenko and sign him. It's likely this was the case. He had to give up Andrae because of this after all. He could have backed out of the trade right then and there but he didn't.
He also had plans to trade Rielly over the summer but there was only one team as a possibility and they traded for Nurse instead. There's still a possibility he could be traded mid season. He is playing a lot better after all so should have value and not just a salary dump. Especially if other teams have injuries.

Leafs have an overall -3 goal differential. 5 teams in the Atlantic have better and Ottawa is +3 while Florida is +4.
In the Metro only 4 teams have better than the Leafs -3 goal differential and both NYR and Washington are at +3

Between Steve Stavro and Rogers, there was the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan reign of terror.
Not when the Leafs had a really good run in the early to mid 1990s. He became Chairman after Ballard died and then
took over with OTPP backup. Stavro was the face of the organization, he's the one that brought in Cliff Fletcher, one
of the best hockey minds ever.
They still had a decent franchise until he sold his interest years later, albeit not as competitive as the earlier years.
It was actually Donald Giffin who brought Cliff Fletcher into the organization. Stavro, Giffin, and Donald Crump together ran the organization after Ballard died, and before Stavro gained ownership. Stavro didn't want Fletcher in the organization, but he didn't have complete control at that time.
Why can't this company hire a competent president? Keith Pelley and Richard Peddie are complete morons.
Tim Leiweke was okay but he was never gonna stay long term.
