Jonathan Marchessault, one of the original Golden Misfits, is leaving the Vegas Golden Knights.

He signed a five-year deal worth $27.5 million, $5.5 million AAV with the Nashville Predators in free agency.

Marchessault, 33, was originally acquired by the Golden Knights in a trade during the expansion draft and is one of the most accomplished players in franchise history. He holds the franchise records for games played (514), goals (192), assists (225) and points (417). When the Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup, Marchessault captured the Conn Smythe Trophy after scoring 13 goals and 25 points on the playoff run.

Last season, Marchessault set a new career-high with 42 goals, showing he still has more to give as he enters the final years of his career.
