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

[Edmonton East]

Well, the Devils fans got to dream for 1 day

Totally brah. Shero knows the Devs have a 0% chance, so he is actively scouting Vesey just to start preparing to play against him this season.

There is so much conjecture in this thread it is absolutely baffling. This has been an absolute joy to read.

I'm going to be sad when its over. I hope "the reveal" doesn't come until right before the season starts.

It's truly an amazing thread. I'm on here less and less now, but when I check the board every week or so, I'm reminded that the Jimmy Vesey thing is still ongoing. Even as a Bruins fan I keep forgetting that he exists...other than right here, where judging by the posts it appears he's got HF posters breathless in anticipation. I love it.

"And more than one source at NESC pegged the New Jersey Devils as a darkhorse contender."

Of course the poster just happened to miss that quote

New article. Apparently a well informed scout says it's between BOS, CHI and NYR.

That last sentence can be worrisome for Chicago.

must not be a deal breaker since Chicago is still on his short list.

Take 2. I've been saying all along he's too smart to go to a team with that front office, looks like he's watched that "behind the B" episode just like all of us.

Sweeney and Vesey are actually pretty close. Two of the three loudest voices in the room for wanting to trade Seguin are gone ( Benning and Chia ). Sweeney was one of the lone voices for not wanting him gone and has been amendment in wanting to give young players more time to prove their worth instead of cutting them loose like Seguin.

Indeed, the Bruins front office is quite different from the Chiarelli era.

I doubt the Vesey would be a fan of Chiacago's western conference schedule. By all accounts, he's a homebody. He is on record as stating that he wants to remain in the northeast.

If Vesey chooses Boston, he could very well end up playing first-line minutes:

Vesey-Krejci-Backes
Marchand-Bergeron-Pastrnak
Beleskey-Spooner-Hayes
Vatrano-Nash-TBD

And about Devils "trending up in the East"... Sure, but compared to Toronto and Buffalo?

With all due respect, the names on your rookie camp roster say a lot less about where you're trending than the W's and L's on your record.

....and the reason he's been tied to NJD is his family relationship with Fitzgerald. Whether that's bs or not is anyone's guess at this point.

Why is he wasting his time?

 

[Irishguy42]

If the Rangers and Devils are getting in on the Vesey action, it only makes sense for the Islanders to do it as well.

 

[SatanwasaSlovak]

Maybe because every scout says that he is more than ready for the NHL? Who wouldn't want a free, possible top six prospect?

They said the same about Damien Brunner.

Basically, so many GM's thinks the same that in turn has caused an effect of driving up the price way over his actual value at the moment, a player who has never played a game amongst adult.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Why is he wasting his time?

Because he probably isn't. This is the Bowman approach. If Vesey knows that they are so interested, he knows that he can get a good offer from them.

 

[Liferleafer]

Are the Leafs still in? No? Alright.....moving on then.

 

[pld459666]

Because he probably isn't. This is the Bowman approach. If Vesey knows that they are so interested, he knows that he can get a good offer from them.

No better than any other team.

 

[Nocashstyle]

Okay, but no one cares

Go back a few pages. Clearly people do when they're either using it as an argument for or against Vesey coming to NJ.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

No better than any other team.

Good offer in terms of getting the ice-time he wants. Otherwise Snow wouldn't be there.

 

[The Old Master]

must not be a deal breaker since Chicago is still on his short list.

and lets not forget, the pen's gm is lurking in the grass. waiting for the right time to strike. (if he wakes up in time)

 

[Leafs87]

God damn almost onto the fourth thread. This kid will be seen as a bust. He has decent potential but not this type of potential. Justin Shultz 2.0

 

[Weltschmerz]

They said the same about Damien Brunner.

How are they "dring up the price" when he will get an ELC anyway?

And how is an ELC "way over his actual value"?

 

[TT1]

3rd thread on this guy, yikes

yea, except no one can offer him anymore than any other team, essentially

Dater is as credible as Haggerty.
