Jonathan Marchessault can test the open market this summer as an unrestricted free agent, but his priority is coming to an agreement to remain a Vegas Golden Knight.
"I've done everything I can to stay here," Marchessault said during Tuesday's end-of-season media session, per KTNV's Nick Walters. "I know I'm a big part of the organization. I would love to stay. I was a part of the guys who started this, one of the most proud things in my life. I'm happy to be a Golden Knight and want to be one the rest of my life."
The 33-year-old added that he met with general manager Kelly McCrimmon on Tuesday and was told the club wants him there, according to The Athletic's Jesse Granger.
