Jonathan Marchessault is one of the original "misfits", the reigning Conn Smythe Trophy winner and is set to become a free agent when this season ends.

The Vegas Golden Knights' Jonathan Marchessault had a standout season in 2023-24, achieving his best season in goals scored. He is expected to receive a pay increase from his $5 million cap hit. However despite his success he and his team were unable to retain their Stanley Cup championship, losing to the Dallas Stars in a seven game series during the first round of the playoffs.
Recent statements from Marchessault suggest that contract negotiations with Vegas are not progressing.
«We don't have a call yet or anything,» Marschessault explained prior to taking part in the World Series of Poker. «They said they were interested to sign me. They have time until June 30 or so.»

«I asked last summer,» Marchessault said about requesting an extension. «I said I would rather do it in the summer before the season. They said they're not ready to do that, and after there's not even a single talk that I've had during the season. I don't know. Technically, as an organization, you've signed a player for six years, right? So you have the full six years and after you can deal with it, so we'll see.»

Marchessault expressed his belief that the Golden Knights and Stars would be the two teams left in the Western Conference. Now that the Stars are two wins away, from the Stanley Cup Final he's confident they will go all the way.
«I still think us and Dallas were the two best teams in the West and the winner of that series was going to make it to the finals,» Marchessault said. «I don't think the other teams in the conference were near our two teams. I think Dallas is going to make it to the finals, and personally I think they're going to win.»

It would be strange to imagine Marchessault playing for another team. History has shown that Vegas is ruthless when it comes to player and coaching decisions; they leave no stone unturned.
