The buzz around Jonathan Marchessault's future with the Vegas Golden Knights has taken a new turn, thanks to insights from his agent, the well-known Pat Brisson.

With Marchessault's current contract winding down this season, discussions about his next steps are heating up. Despite the silence from the Golden Knights' camp, with General Manager Kelly McCrimmon keeping contract negotiations under wraps, Brisson has shed some light on the situation.

"At this point in the regular season, we are all working to help our club qualify for the playoffs. The status of player contracts is not something we'll comment on, as we continue to keep our focus on the ice."

While McCrimmon remains focused on the team's performance and upcoming playoffs, Brisson has been more forthcoming about Marchessault's stance. Following a standout season highlighted by a Conn Smythe trophy and a Stanley Cup win, Marchessault's on-ice success hasn't waned.

According to Brisson, Marchessault is in the midst of his career-best season, making his role in the playoffs all the more critical.

«He's OK waiting. Of course, you would rather have a deal done. Sometimes the reason you don't have a deal done is because you're not there yet. He's been in Vegas ever since its inception seven years ago. He likes it there, been producing, won the Cup last year, won the Conn Smythe.

"He's having a hell of a season this year. His production is not going down."

"Vegas has been a great place for him. It's been such a mutually beneficial relationship from the beginning. His first wish is to definitely work something out with the Golden Knights."

Brisson's comments suggest a strong desire to secure a favorable deal for Marchessault in Vegas. Yet, the Golden Knights' recent roster enhancements pose a challenge to balancing the budget. Marchessault's talent undeniably puts him on the radar of numerous teams league-wide, potentially offering him lucrative deals.

Despite the financial temptation, Marchessault's affection for Vegas is apparent. He appears willing to compromise on salary to remain with the team, highlighting his commitment to the city and the Golden Knights.
