Just one year into his five-year deal, there are reports that former Golden Knight Jonathan Marchessault is looking to move on. He wasn't impressed with Nashville head coach Andrew Brunette or his coaching system. Marchessault was moved around a lot and played on various lines this past season, which led to him scoring only 21 goals this season. We also discuss William Karlsson's locker cleanout day quote of it being a "wasted season." Kelly McCrimmon, when asked about his comment, said it was simply raw emotion and not true at all. And, we discuss the Conference Finals.

Chris Gawlik put together a lineup with Mitch Marner in it - if he does indeed become a member of the Golden Knights. He assembled a cap compliant lineup that was void of some free agents: Nic Roy, Brandan Saad, and Nic Hague. We discuss if VGK should sign Marner at the expense of giving up depth pieces. And, we have the latest on the Conference Finals.

NHL insider Pierre LeBrun of TSN said he believes Mitch Marner is very likely to test the free agent waters this July. He said Marner has expressed interest in Vegas and Florida. While teams that have interest in "The Magician" include Anaheim, L.A., Detroit and Chicago, according to LeBrun. Marner comes off a career-high 102 points this past season. AFP Analytics projects an eight year times $12.6 million contract wherever Marner winds up. He has been more than a point per game scorer throughout his career. We talk about what VGK would have to do to sign Marner. We also update the Conference Finals.

The 4-Nations Faceoff took a toll on VGK and other star NHL players. While it increased international hockey interest, it left key players injured or worn down in the latter part of the season. The Golden Knights lost Shea Theodore to a broken wrist. They also saw Mark Stone and Jack Eichel miss games later in the season. Other teams lost top players. We update the Conference Finals action. And it's WTF time with fan comments.
