I like that, better to keep someone like Vesey as an extra forward rather than young player who could use this time to play in AHL.

 

[KovalchukFistPump]

Team would like to take the next step and I guess Vesey would probably be better at doing 4th line type duties than someone like Boqvist or even Holtz. Nothing wrong with having some vets.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Not a big fan of this signing, oh well.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Dude's softer than baby pooh. I wouldn't want him on my team even as a 13th forward.

 

[Eggtimer]

Hoping that he plays desperate to keep his NHL career going.
An ok depth signing. I’d rather he plays limited minutes than one of our prospects . Rather have the prospects getting more important minutes in the AHL than 6-8 minutes on the 4th line

Vanilla

 

[Tao Jersey Jones]

One-way for Vesey.

 

[SpitfireG]

Very good signing. One of the best ratio money/value for 4rd line player with solid offensif skills.
Jimmy definitly will put on the table (ice) 120% that he has in his bagage.

 

[Petey O]

I highly doubt Devils fans will be happy watching this player play on a regular basis (assuming he's not your 13th fwd). I hope, for his sake, he somehow finds a step, but as of right now, he is far from good.

Not the type of player you want in your top nor bottom 6 for more than a couple games. Kind of just 'there'.

 

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

He went to Harvard.

 

[A1LeafNation]

So your saying you don't like my game and I'm gonna be off the team.

He was f***ing terrible in Vancouver. Butter soft and produced absolutely nothing.

 

[wonton15]

He’s diet vanilla

 

[Michoulicious]

The Leafs did not bring him back?

Weird, I read last year he'd be a top 9 player for them and that he was a great signing.

Couple steps behind there bud, try to keep up.

 

[Crease]

He sucks but coaches love him for some reason.

 

[Fisticuffer]

I have no idea what teams see in this guy. I can’t honestly say I’ve ever seen him have a good game. That doesn’t mean he hasn’t of course but every time I’ve seen him he’s been all kinds of blah.

 

[Sky04]

This guy is soft af and we're not talking about his game.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I think folks forget that he only has 5 nhl seasons under his belt, even though he is 28. I do think he can still play better. He will never become a star or a first line guy. But I think he can become a decent 35-45 point guy under the right coach…

 

[nowhereman]

I suppose New Jersey "understands" his vanilla game. He was useless last year on the Canucks. We'll see.

 

[Huggy43]

One of the most useless players I’ve watched.

& I watched the Canucks Willie D years. Just painful.

Leafs sign a league min player

Leaf fans: Huh maybe playing him with some legit talent might bring out some of his latent potential. At least he has a big body, hopefully a solid depth piece.

Other fans: Leaf fans saying he is literally McDavid!!!11!
