Travis Yost of TSN: The Vegas Golden Knights have salary cap issues. Max Pacioretty and Jonathan Marchessault have had their names in the rumor mill.
Marchessault has an eight-team no-trade clause. 10 teams have zero cap space and 16 have less than $2 million.
Pacioretty costs more than Marchessault and is three years older. Marchessault would help rebuilding teams like the Ottawa Senators and Detroit Red Wings.
The Senators acquiring Marchessault to play wing would help their power-play and would not force Connor Brown and Nick Paul into a bigger role.
