Marchessault, who won the Conn Smythe Trophy and the Stanley Cup with the Golden Knights, was one of the few remaining "Misfits" from their 2017 expansion draft. In a statement to TSN, he expressed his disappointment with Vegas.
Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon, however, refuted Marchessault's claims, calling them lies.
Fans and analysts were shocked by the decision to let Marchessault go, especially given his significant contributions to the team. SinBin Las Vegas highlighted his importance, listing his franchise-leading statistics in goals, points, games played, and various other categories .
Despite the franchise's history of bold player moves, the departure of Marchessault, the epitome of a Golden Knight, still stings for Vegas fans.
