The 5 Best Free Agency Signings This Summer in the Entire NHL

Jonathan Marchessault

This was one of the biggest signings this summer.

The Vegas Golden Knights let Marchessault walk to Nashville on a five-year deal with an AAV of 5.5 million.

Marchessault has been pretty open since signing with the Predators that he is upset with how Vegas didn't offer him a respectable deal.

He's coming off a 42-goal season and now has a chip on his shoulder.

That is a career-high for him. I don't think he will replicate that, but I can see him scoring 30 goals next season in Nashville.

Marchessault is 33-years-old so he is on the older side, but with what Nashville is doing, it fits their window. They have O'Reilly, Stamkos, Josi and Marchessault who are all past the age of 30 so they are committing to winning a cup within the next two or three seasons.

While I usually don't like handing out five-year deals to 33-year-olds I like the fit in Nashville with what they are trying to do.
