According to what has been reported by two people with some good sources in their circles, namely Marc Dumont, the former employee of the Canadiens, and Marc-Olivier Beaudoin, the Quebec forward has two preferred destinations at the end of the next season.
In the event that he does not extend his contract with the Vegas Golden Knights, he would want to sign with the Montreal organization to continue his career here.
Here is what they recently affirmed on social media:
Of course, it takes two to tango, which means that Kent Hughes will have to be interested in adding a veteran to properly surround his young lineup, but if the salary demands are interesting for the future of the Tricolore, Marchessault could certainly become an excellent acquisition by the General Manager.
He just concluded the last season with a tally of 28 goals and 57 points in 76 games. He added 13 more goals and 25 points in 22 playoff games.
It must be said that a character player like him, able to contribute offensively and who would bring his Stanley Cup conquest experience into the team's locker room, could be a big move to watch during the next summer season.
