Jonathan Marchessault trade rumors: Nashville Predators could part ways with the all-star as part of offseason rebuild

The Nashville Predators are expected to enter a pivotal offseason after a disappointing 2024–25 campaign, and that could mean some big names on the move. According to NHL insider Frank Seravalli, one of those names could be veteran forward Jonathan Marchessault, whose future in Music City is uncertain after just one season.
Jonathan Marchessault's short Nashville stint could end this summer
The Predators were among the NHL's worst teams this past season, struggling mightily in the scoring department. A stagnant offense, coupled with an aging roster and lack of speed, exposed the team's need for a reset. As a result, the front office may be gearing up for a roster shake-up that focuses on getting younger and faster—potentially at the expense of proven veterans.
Jonathan Marchessault, a former All-Star and Stanley Cup champion, joined the Predators with hopes of being a veteran sparkplug.
While he still managed to produce 21 goals and 35 assists, the overall dip in team performance impacted his effectiveness.
Seravalli suggests Marchessault may not be part of the Predators' long-term vision: "And they'd be smart to also shed one of their long-term commitments to older players, too. The belief is Marchessault is open to moving on after one year in the Music City. His production dipped, like everyone's, as Nashville struggled to score.

But he's eminently capable of bouncing back with a 30-goal season with strong value to cap.
"
At 34, Marchessault remains a skilled winger with a scorer's touch and playoff pedigree. Teams with postseason ambitions could view him as an immediate upgrade. Given his experience and leadership qualities, his availability might draw interest from contenders looking for offensive depth.
The Predators' management appears committed to reshaping the team's identity. With Marchessault potentially on the trade block, Nashville could open up cap space while accumulating assets for the future. This offseason may be less about tweaking the roster and more about initiating a bold new direction.

Any time I bowl in England I'm reasonably confident, says Hazlewood ahead of WTC Final
New Delhi: Ahead of Australia facing South Africa in the World Test Championship final, fast-bowler Josh Hazlewood said he always feels reasonably confident while bowling in Tests in England and added that he will increase his pace in the run-up to the one-off clash starting at the Lord's on June 11. In 12 Tests in England, Hazlewood has picked 52 wickets at an average of 26.07. The fast bowler took five wickets in his most recent match at the Lord's, which happened during the 2023 Ashes series against England. "Any time I bowl in England, I'm reasonably confident. I've had some good tours here over the last 10 years, and Lord's in particular. I haven't lost before at Lord's yet as a player, certainly in red-ball cricket for sure, and we have had a couple of good wins there over the years." "Today is sort of post-flight and just to get moving. I will probably nail down a few more overs tomorrow and then over the next few days, tick a lot of boxes,' Hazlewood told ICC on Saturday. Hazlewood hasn't played a red-ball game since he featured in the third Test against India at The Gabba in December 2024 due to a calf strain. Then seamer Scott Boland took over and went on to pick a 10-wicket haul against India at Sydney. This means that there's a toss-up between Hazlewood and Boland for the third seamer's slot at Lord's. What does help Hazlewood's case is Hazlewood that he arrives in London on the back of some overs under his belt while winning IPL 2025 for the Royal Challengers Bengaluru, including overcoming a minor shoulder niggle. "I ticked over some good overs just before the (IPL) Final in Ahmedabad in different weather than this, and it was quite a tough session. And then obviously, every time you play a game in the IPL, you're probably going to get almost seven or eight overs in, if you really want to." 'So in and around with warm-ups, and obviously the four overs in the game. And we bowled second a lot of the time in IPL, so that was sort of two warm-ups, so you can squeeze in overs here and there, and things are going pretty well." "Everyone looks in good shape. We've all been in different parts of the world playing or training over the last couple of months, so it's good to get everyone together and catch up with everyone yesterday and the day before and get all on the same page moving forward," he concluded.
