In the swirling sea of NHL trade rumors, a recent report by SinBin. Vegas' Jason Pothier provides a much-needed anchor for fans of the Vegas Golden Knights. Despite speculation surrounding Jonathan Marchessault's future with the team, Pothier's update confirms that the Knights have no intentions of shipping out their $30 million Playoffs MVP.
Marchessault, the 32-year-old forward, has been a linchpin of the Golden Knights' success, and his stellar performance during the playoffs only solidified his value. In the previous season, he showcased his prowess with 28 goals and 57 points in 76 games, but it was during the playoffs that he truly shone. Marchessault's heroic 13 goals and 25 points in just 22 games earned him the coveted Conn Smythe Award, a testament to his invaluable contributions on the ice.
The extension talks between the Golden Knights and Marchessault had yet to commence, creating a ripple of speculation. However, Pothier's latest report allays those concerns, hinting at potential negotiations on the horizon. Marchessault's contract, inked in 2018, places a $5 million cap hit for the 2023-24 season, comprising a $3.5 million base salary and an equivalent amount in minors salary.
As the Golden Knights prepare for the upcoming campaign, their decision to retain Marchessault sends a resounding message about their commitment to success. While the trade winds may blow in unpredictable directions, one thing remains clear: the Knights are holding onto their playoff MVP, a player whose dedication and skill continue to shape their journey towards the coveted Stanley Cup.
