The price for the Chicago Blackhawks to land Cup Champion Jonathan Marchessault
There's been confirmation that Jonathan Marchessault will not be returning to Sin City.
Of course, Marchessault will yield a high payday thanks to his 40-goal season, but that complicates the Vegas Golden Knight's salary cap situation.
The Conn Smythe trophy winner will likely be a salary cap casualty, as the team only has $897, 516 to work with.
With the Blackhawks' $33 Million surplus, they could easily fit Marchessault's next contract into the fold, as he's projected at least a 6-7 year contract, with at least $6.5 Million AAV.
Marchesseault has what it takes in the shell briefs for the Montreal pot. He would be an incredible leader and inspiration for CH's young attackers and his experience in the playoffs for several seasons would be an extraordinary asset for the Canadian's great project.
Do Gorton & Hughes think like me? If so, they will make a sincere offer to Marchesseault and his advisors on July 1st..." - JiC LajoieM
Davidson could easily afford to offer him a shorter term and sell on the possibility of playing with Connor Bedard to help entice him here, as a veteran leader.
$6.5 Million could be affordable for Davidson and get him short-term leadership and a linemate for Bedard, to help push the team into winning territory.
in 82 games with the Vegas Golden Knights, he scored 69 points( 42 G, 27 A) during the regular season.
