quote this with what you would do in his situation and why.
Go to a team with a winning atmosphere and a roster ready to be a contender with or without me signing there but also has a spot for me to play to be able to succeed.
I would like to think that I would be smart enough to realize that if a team is pinning their hopes on me (a 23 year old kid out of college who has never played a professional hockey game in the AHL or NHL) to have a legit shot at the cup, we probably arent in good shape to win
Never underestimate how jumping to a bad or even middle of the pack team can stunt growth for kids that arent star material (which Vesey really isnt).
Not saying I would have dead set choice but PIT/CHI would be near the top of my list with NYI bending my ear too
I think NJD/NYR/BUF/TOR/BOS have too many immediate red flags or larger problems or just teams arent ready to compete for a few years for me to want to burn through my entire ELC accomplishing nothing on a team
I would have strongly considered Nashville too
