This thread needs to die. I will forever despise Vesey solely on the basis of this thread.
Preds offered him a top 6 spot on a playoff roster, no income tax, and a year off his contract. He turned it down after reportedly telling the team he would sign, attend every prospect camp, work with our director of player development weekly (if not more), and stating in numerous articles and interviews that he was loyal, etc., etc.
This is a hilarious farce. Talented but entitled. If he signs in Chicago, he may be one of the most hated players in Nashville without even playing a game.

Basically down to the Rangers, Penguins, maybe the Blackhawks.

So far it seems:
1) every team presenting to Vesey made an extraordinary professional presentation.
2) Vesey has relatives or very very close friends owning or playing for every team involved.
3) every team involved is the font runner except Detroit (watch them sign him)
4) every star player from every team has personally met with and pitched him hard.
5) every team has a very strong key personnel connected to Harvard.
6) Vesey is very close friends with every single Harvard grad involved in the NHL.
7) Vesey has about thirty "people close to him" who know what's going on in his head and have been kind enough to tell every blogger, reporter, or media person in hockey exactly what his present state of mind is.

Not getting my hopes up in case I'm heavily disappointed but the NY celebs tweeting at him is pretty awesome for sure

Why do people post Eklund? He throws **** on a wall.
apologies to the Rangers Penguins and Blackhawks fans for missing out on Vesey
You forget the e5 on this post, and you didn't even quote him right. He is claiming it is down to Boston, Isles, Devils, Hawks and maybe Buffalo.
It is all crap anyway.
So here is the info from the day?
Howard Berger @Berger_BYTES
Source: #Leafs made an "outstanding" pitch for Jimmy Vesey. "Don't be surprised if he chooses Toronto - a good, up-and-coming team."
Mike Harrington @BNHarrington
I'm hearing this as well. #Sabres far more alive than I felt they were when week began.

By all accounts yesterday's meeting between Bruins & Jimmy Vesey was a good one & message from B's brass was solid
Mike Grinnell @MikeGrinnell_ 4h4 hours ago
Text from source close w/ Vesey camp. "He reallllllly likes the Devils."
Chris Botta @ChrisBottaNHL
Told Islanders are right in contention for Jimmy Vesey with other finalists. Close to home. Good fit with young forwards.
AKA..nobody knows ****.
This is hilarious and embarrassing at the same time, mockery territory.
