Jonathan Marchessault's Agent Comments on His Future
Jonathan Marchessault of the Vegas Golden Knights is the reigning Conn Smyth trophy winner, and has been a member of the team since its inception in 2017. Unfortunately for the Golden Knights, he becomes an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season, and his agent is giving an update on where contract talks stand.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Marchessault's agent Pat Brisson said talks are taking place, but there's no deal done yet for the pending UFA. That's something that both Marchessault and Brisson would like to see changed.
He's having a hell of a season this year. His production is not going down."
Pat Brisson is right on the last part of that statement. Marchessault already has a career high 38 goals on the season, with 13 games left to go for the Vegas Golden Knights. He's certainly due for a big raise over the $5 million per season he's been making for the past six years. The question is how the Golden Knights and GM Kelly McCrimmon can work magic with the salary cap to give Marchessault the money he's looking for.
"Furthermore, the National Hockey League polices all of this. The rules are the rules, the NHL watches this very carefully."
Whatever the case, Jonathan Marchessault appears to be firmly in the driver's seat when it comes to contract negotiations. If the Vegas Golden Knights can't make the numbers work, there will be plenty of teams lined up to offer him a new lucrative contract. He's certainly earned it.
