Waived: Jimmy Vesey - Claimed by Canucks

[hotpaws]

long overdue

the guy just doesn't have enough of a motor

[Buds17]

Surprised only in the sense that he's played in every game thus far. Somewhat of a chance for being claimed due to the expiring, low cap contract.

Enter Galchenyuk?

Maybe the Oilers will claim him, put him on McDavid's line, and he goes on a point-per-game spree the rest of the year.

i think he will be claimed as his cap hit is low enough and he can PK, also he could be added to a trade if he clears as that would give his new team the flexibility like we got will Gally

 

[TMLAM34]

Wouldn’t be a loss if he were to be claimed. If anything, him hitting the waiver wire is overdue. He was given every chance here to succeed and wasn’t able to do so.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

No biggie one way or the other ... size and speed so some team may take a gamble ... i think he was last man out anywho when Wayner gets back

 

[Morbo]

Can't say he didn't get a fair shot

They gave him more rope than his play deserved, honestly. More than fair.

 

[LeafGrief]

The Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes are back on

I think his spot is more for the trade than anything else. It would either be Vesey or Engvall included in the trade (and we aren't going to waive Engvall because he almost certainly would get claimed) and this could just be a precursor for that trade, which may go down tomorrow.

Boyd is keeping Simmonds' spot warm.

 

[meefer]

A bit surprised. Thought he might be included in a trade for cap purposes if the Leafs threw in a sweetener.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Vesey has played some darn good defensive,responsible hockey for us. Just sayinnn

 

[Budz]

Bye Felicia...

He’s gone. Somebody is going to grab him

 

[Wafflewhipper]

Bye Felicia...

WTF..... I’m glad the A and O are at opposite ends of the keyboard

 

[Superstar]

Great, now what do I with my “26 Forever” full back tat?

Add "Waive" at the top...

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Good he's done very little

 

[Mr Hockey]

i didn't mind him, he was ok for the AAV

 

[zeke]

Can't believe he lasted this long tbh.

I'm guessing this means Simmonds is back on Friday.

 

[Budz]

I may be slow - you are sad about Jimmy Vesey???

Sad? No ooo

Why don’t you pop up some defensive numbers for him. I though he was good defensively. Maybe not I’m not sure

 

[Bluelines]

This is a horrid move, Vessy is one of the best 7th liners in the league... booooo hissss

 

[The Iceman]

Great, now what do I with my “26 Forever” full back tat?

Say it is for Barry Melrose
