Confirmed Trade: [BUF/NAS] Jimmy Vesey's Draft Rights for 2016 3rd (#76) Part III

[Irishguy42]

Vesey to Nashville. E5

"Ha-HA! Suckers didn't know my true allegiance was to Poile! I even got him an extra third round pick for his troubles."

I used to think this kid was a bit of a you know what. The article is actually quite eye opening. Seems like a good kid

If Bowman had done something this stupid, I would have criticized him just the same. Just like I did when he traded a 2nd for Rundblad or two 2nds for Timonen.

Murray deserves criticism for this trade.

criticism for what exactly????

mid 3rd round pick has very low odds of being a top 6 forward. low odds to make the NHL beyond a cup of coffee.

The deals you referred to from Bowman I believe were deadline deals. different animal.

Only 7 more days until it's only a few more days!

a week from today he is a UFA. Then he likely meets with about 5-7 other teams then decides on the weekend or on the following Monday.

I wouldn't be surprised if he makes his decision known by Thursday or early Friday.

Meet with teams Tuesday/Wednesday. Discuss with agent and whatnot on Wednesday evening/Thursday morning. Let everyone know by the afternoon or evening, maybe even Friday. Then he actually signs on Saturday or some time the week after.

Very well written and took me back to my days of playing team sports and the friendships. Hope it works out for him.

He waited 3 days to officially announce he was returning for his senior year when he knew for two weeks? What a liar!!!!

I'd say GM Stan Bowman, and the Chicago Blackhawks are the front runners to sign Harvard forward and Hobey Baker award winner Jimmy Vesey.

I know Stan Bowman has some kinda good presentation to lure Vesey to Chicago.

Close up the thread guys, Bowman has a presentation ready.

Deucedly clever of GMSB. Always the shrewd one.

Lol that's why I read this thread. To see all the ridiculous statements people have about the kid, without even knowing a damn thing about him.(not you in particular, just in general). It's quite funny to me how someone can be so convinced that Vesey is some sort of monster.

I can't speak for his character on a personal level, but genealogy.com says Vesey is a derivative of the last name Veazey. The last name Veazey means "kind,nice person". In conclusion, Vessy = nice person.

if he signs last year he only makes $92k in the AHL, so not knowing if he was sure he was ready for top 6 he goes back and gets his Harvard degree and graduate's. Would you rather have a year in the AHL and $92K or a Harvard degree, a Hobey baker and a chance to play in NCAA 1 more time. If it was you which would you have done?

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Because Kevin Hayes is his only friend. In fact, they're partners in life and do everything together. When making a huge decision like this, I'm sure there's more to think about than, "Hey, Kevin Hayes plays for the Rangers."

That's it, he joining Clarefoot in New Jersey.

Poile guaranteed him a spot on the Preds if he signed last year. The only way he would've gone to the AHL is if he would've sucked in camp before the 15-16 season.

As he should bowman is a grade a moron bottom 5 fm. Dude needs to be fired

Every time I see this green link I hope for another trade but it's never another trade it's the same trade

That article was a good read.

So why is this kid causing such a circus anyway? I don't get the hype.

The kid was the best player in the entire NCAA last year and he is going to be an UFA, is it really that hard to understand?

Missed the point.

Because he's good? Young? and a UFA?

 

[InfinityIggy]

He likely won't be a star. I would guess his value is that of a mid-late 1st rounder at this point though. What GM wouldn't want a free asset like that?

Also summer, so we have little else to talk about.

Kid is doing whats best for his future. He doesn't create the circus (hype) it's stupid people like us and the media.

Missed the point.

And the point was?

But, but, but, plenty of posters said Vesey to Boston was a done deal???????

 

[Broken Glass]

I'm confused about the rangers being an option. Is he gonna play ahead of Nash or Kreider? I guess you could pay Nash 7 mil to play on the third line? The kid is only going to a place where he can get top 6 minutes.
