Been hearing a LOT of buzz about Jonthan Marchessault being one of the likelier UFAs to move on this summer. Marchessault, of course, has been with the Vegas Golden Knights since the beginning and is coming off a career-high 42 goals.

From what I've heard, I'd expect Utah to target the 33-year-old winger heavily. The team wants to make a splash after the move from Arizona, and the three-time 30-plus goal scorer is the type of player that can add some firepower right off the bat. He's coming off a $5 million cap hit on his expiring deal and is line for a nice bump on a mid-length contract.

On the HockeyBuzz Rumor Chart, I've installed UHC as the frontrunner for Marchessault as this point.
