The Nashville Predators, the NHL’s busiest trade market team this season, are reportedly linked to a deal for veteran forward Jonathan Marchessault from the Vegas Golden Knights. Marchessault, 35, a 2023 Conn Smythe winner with Vegas, is under a two‑year, $5.5 M AAV contract and carries a full no‑movement clause. Nashville could re‑sign him at about $3 M per year, while Vegas would need cap gymnastics to move him. The trade speculation also includes possible moves for Ryan O’Reilly to Montreal or Boston.
