Kyle Bukauskas: “Lastly, Jonathan Marchessault. So Elliotte. You introduced his title up within the aftermath of Toronto getting knocked out a few weeks in the past, simply as a thought at that time. However may you see a state of affairs the place he’s traded from Nashville this summer season?”
Elliotte Friedman: “I feel there’s a sign that he’d be keen to think about it. Nonetheless, I feel the record of groups is absolutely small.

However the larger factor to me is a roster building subject. Now he has management over this. And one of many issues anyone introduced as much as me, and this was a crew, is that he’s gone from a no-tax state to a no-tax state, and that is the largest deal of Marchessault’s profession.
And one of many issues they’ve type of heard is that if you already know if he’s going to be traded, it won’t be to someplace the place it’s going to take a chew out of the underside line there.
