He could live anywhere he wants within reason and make it to where he needs to be in plenty of time.

Yet if he decides on the Amish countryside, taking a horse and buggy may complicate it a little.

I'm sure the fact that you are a penguins fan had nothing to do with your opinion:sarcasm:

2 yr @ $925,000 cap hit, $3.775M AAV with the max bonuses which he'll get. So yeah... that's over 1.2m

If that was actually true, Toronto, New York (both teams), Pittsburgh and Chicago all would not have enough cap space to sign him.

Psst. News flash... bonuses can be deferred to next season. Which means it's 925k that teams need to worry about this year. And the only bonuses that will count next year are the ones he hits - which means unless he gets the calder or another major award, will be a fraction of the 2.85m he's eligible for.

There is some thought that Toronto wouldn't be able to offer max bonuses, but I think they would and they'd figure the rest out later.

He's only takes to teams for 2 days though. He has been contemplating the decision for not even a day and a half.

I'm sure NYR/PIT/CHI/TOR/any team are aware of this and can plan accordingly.

Vesey isn't making all/any of the bonuses anyway, so it doesn't matter too much.

Or maybe he's had only three whole ****ing days since he became a free agent and could talk to any teams other than BUF. Good God, why is that so hard to understand?

We're all overlooking just how many Pokestops Manhattan has. Central Park is a constant source of lures. If Vesey is trying to be the very best, like no one ever was, he'll go to the Rangers.

You know, I think this is the most convincing argument in this thread so far. Plus all of that walking to hit the pokestops is the best way to hatch all of those eggs.

To be totally accurate, teams need to have enough bonus cushion available to fit that contract with those bonuses built into it under that cushion, I believe all teams in the running currently have enough cushion left but Toronto is close to not.

And it's pretty unlikely he hits many, if any, of those higher dollar bonuses anyway, yet a team would still need to have the space one way or the other.

Unless he signs with the Rangers in which case it's a slam dunk so he should sign with them.

He's coming to Toronto. Who would want to play with fellow American Matthews and also play for the best coaches in the league that mentors rookies into stars.

People your really wasting your time with all these hypotheticals. He's going to Toronto.

Jimmy Vesey will be with an American original 6 team I'm hearing. @NYRangers & @NHLBlackhawks are finalists according to multiple sources.

Doesn't bonus tax get applied to next season if a team goes over the cap due to bonuses?

Nobody eliminated. Not sure why all the NYR and CHI talk. Need a decision though. Weekend is here and don't think I can stand drunken posters going on and on and on and on and on throughout the next couple of days!!

I believe Toronto still has Horton and Robidas, both of which will be moved to LTIR freeing about $8.25M ($5.25 and $3M)
Can someone confirm this? Thanks
