There's a reason why Bobby Mac and Dreger haven't said a thing on this - no one but people close to Vesey know. Anyone who said anything else is just looking for followers and retweets and doesn't know ****.

I think the only thing Dreger tweeted about this was the teams that Vesey was going to meet with, and the only team he was missing was the Isles I think.

Apparently giving a poop means going on the Internet, making and or finding an obscure meme only hockey nerds would get, and posting said meme on a thread you'd only know about if you cared.

Ehhh I'm a bit tired of hearing about him too, this thread is fun because he's being treating like the best player to ever hit the open market.

I don't think he will ever generate the same amount of interest as he does right now because it's the middle of August, he should just milk it. Turn it into a Lebron style announcement on his decision.

Vesey is a free cheap asset.

I don't care if he only becomes a 30 point player.
He is cheap AF. LONG STORY SHORT

KEY WORDS I REPEAT

CHEAP
YOUNG
FREE

This thread is more about pimping the team you are a fan of and denigrating other teams in contention than Jimmy Vesey. If you go back to the Kevin Hayes thread it was just about the same.

"* The Penguins really don't have the cap space and aren't sounding very serious."

LOL! I mean we all know the guy is a ****ing idiot... but any moron can look at the roster guess that Dupuis (who's said multiple times that he'll never play again) will go on LTIR and the Pens will have around 1.2m in cap space. But naw, no way we could fit in 925k.

Draw it out Jimmy.

Don't want any tampering charges coming at the Leafs once you sign

That quote about the Pens not having the cap space and not being very serious is just out to lunch. Whatever way he goes I just hope he signs somewhere fast so this topic is over lol.

If he signs with the Leafs you'll know something shady has gone on - like salary cap circumvention relating to his father's job/salary and his brother. 'Oh sure, we'll give Nolan a contract, terrible player with zero chance of playing for us but he's family to us now Jimmy, do you hear that? Familia.' 'Your pops? Don't you worry Jimmy boy, job for life with us, in fact we like him so much we're giving him a raise'

Yeah. Can't be anything else, like playing in one of the best cities in the world, playing under the best coach in the world, with one of the best management teams in the league, on a young team with plenty of opportunity.

Nah, I'm sure they used his family to manipulate him :laugh:

Is it just me or is Toronto within the event horizon?

Every single team still in on him has just as many pros.

Other than the city what exactly makes them the best connected to everything leafs? Yes Leafs have some promising prospects however so do 29 other teams. Don't be fooled by the hype until proven. Too funny year after year some leaf fans do this thing and question why one of the most disrespected fan bases in the league. It does make for good leaf jokes lol.

Howard Berger blocked me on Twitter.

I suspect Steve Simmons is next.

He blocked me long ago. He's pathetic, in Canada's biggest media market he can't get a job. His 'sources' I am sure are people who have been out of hockey for 15 years. He also has a lawsuit going on that I read some of the documents from, they're online. It was a lawsuit against him by the Canadian tax department, he was actually paying his own way to go on road trips to blog about the Leafs and was claiming the expenses as deductions. Seemed legit to me, the guy started his own business and it's been a financial disaster and he has a right to claim the expenses. Taxman was taking the position that he was basically just a fan trying to write off the expenses of an expensive hobby.

I know HFBoards has strict rules about libel so here's the articles about Berger's lawsuit

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/repo...difficulties-of-independence/article25308466/

'He claimed business losses of $26,540 in 2011 and $37,866 in 2012, according to court documents; his gross income from the blog in that span was $7,500.'

Uhh...pretty sure he means the cap space to sign Vesey to a 2nd contract in 2 years when he is an RFA.

Pretty much any team in the league can afford a rookie ELC, that's not what he meant.

But the Penguins already have $46 million in cap space tied up in only 7 players for the 2018-19 season when Vesey will need a raise.

That's more than any other team on his list, aside from Chicago.

he made his own bed ,he describe one of the leafs drafts "like he was reporting the bombing of pearl harbor "i mean u bite the hand that feeds u ,u get what u get ,ask glenn heally

of course the leafs made an outstanding pitch ,this kid knows where he was going from the get go ,I'm sure the nhl stars that got dragged along to pitch for him are not gthat thrilled to be dragged away from the golfcourse to woo and unproven commodity
trust this kid should've picked Nashville ,,,,
