The well-known Frank Seravalli has just reported a major development involving forward Jonathan Marchessault and the Montreal Canadiens.
Let's first recall that last summer, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton made an offer for Marchessault.
In the end, as we know, Marchessault ultimately chose the offer from the Predators.
However, a year later, we now have a major twist.
Jonathan Marchessault is open to a trade, and if it happens, he would prefer to be sent to the Montreal Canadiens
Wow!
And knowing that this comes from Frank Seravalli, it's solid information.
Frank Seravalli: "Jon Marchessault open to the idea of being traded this offseason; Montreal would be a favourable landing spot

Frank Seravalli on Jonathan Marchessault being open to moving on from the Nashville Predators:
"I think in a perfect world, he would love to go to the Montreal Canadiens and go home. I don't know how open they are to that, given the term on his deal. But you can see him helping a pretty good offense already to take that next step. He seems like a true Marty St. Louis type player, doesn't he?"

This could get interesting!
We know Kent Hughes wanted Marchessault last summer, but does he still?
Apparently, the asking price wouldn't be astronomical.
"Frank Seravalli has reported that Jonathan Marchessault is open to a move this summer, and Montreal would be the favoured landing spot if that case opens.
Top six winger at a reduced cap hit potentially."

If Nashville retains part of the salary, this could be a very appealing option.
At 34 years old, Marchessault is a 5-foot-9 forward who tallied 56 points in 78 games this season with Nashville, after putting up 69 points in 82 games with the Vegas Golden Knights the previous year.
During the 2023 playoffs, Marchessault won the Stanley Cup and the Conn Smythe Trophy, so he could certainly bring valuable postseason experience.
He's under contract until 2029, at $5.5 million per year.
