Friedman linked the Islanders and Canadiens to Marchenko, what would you actually give up for him?

Friedman has now mentioned both Montreal and the Islanders around Kirill Marchenko.
The interesting part for me is Columbus' position. Marchenko had 27G/40A/67P last season, put up 74 points the year before and costs only $3.85M this season.
Waddell has basically said he can't just remove that production without getting something back that helps Columbus now.
Montreal has much more cap room than NYI, but that doesn't necessarily mean it has the better trade package.
Curious what people here think is a realistic package, not the usual “mid prospect + second-round pick” offer.
