Good. One of the guys I want to see under a different coach.

[GoAwayPanarin]

Eh thats more than I would have given him.

 

[Polar Bear]

Really excited to see Vesey under a new and development emphasis coach. AAV might be a touch high, but glad it's only two years.

 

[Edge]

Probably a little higher than I was expecting, but if Vesey can take the next step and hit the 20 goal, 35 point level, it could be a solid value.

 

[17futurecap]

Think he is what he is at this point, but hopefully he can improve under the new coach, seems a tad high, but the cap really isn't an issue at this point.

 

[Hire Sather]

Can't complain

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Hope he gets dealt

 

[Ian]

Big fan of the term here. Slight overpayment, but it's basically a completely 'prove it' year for him. He's moveable at that AAV.

Pretty much my feelings, as well.

 

[Trxjw]

A little more than I thought he'd get but we have the room so it's no big deal. Hopefully he can find that next level with some consistent minutes.

There's 20 goal potential there if he finds the right fit.

2.275m AAV

Oh, and it's a 2-year deal, taking him to UFA in 2020.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Eh amount is a bit high but its only for two years so its not the end of the world

 

[Mac n Gs]

I know he had some terrible numbers under AV, but what often got overlooked was his pretty solid transition stats and his ability to generate individual scoring chances.

I think he’ll benefit from a more north-south oriented system, and he’s shown that he is a good depth goal scorer. Never play him on the powerplay again though, please.

 

[Fitzy]

Well, with the roster the way it is right now he'll certainly get a shot at quality minutes.

 

[UAGoalieGuy]

I mean it's like $300k over what I thought he'd get and I dont like how it takes him to UFA, but on a rebuilding team, under a new coach I dont see anything wrong with this.

Yeah a coach who can get him to focus on north south go to the net and stay there kind of game should hopefully get the best out of him. He does some good stuff at times but at others seems to spend too much time trying to be fancy pants.

Deadline trade in 2020, I guess.

 

[Gardner McKay]

He is one of those players who still may have some untapped potential and you definitely want to re-sign him. However, at the same time you don't want to commit long term. Good deal. I like this.

 

[bobbop]

Considering his arbitration rights and his likely comparable (17 goals) I actually think it’s a bit of a bargain.

Bingo. No player is going to say "You know what Jeff, my puck possession metrics were ass, I accept the low ball you're offering me".

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

The AAV I can live with but the 2 years is what bugs me

 

[East Coast Bias]

A little higher than expected but totally fine.

Barring some major shift, I would take him for the 2 years then probably move on. He's fine - a decent depth forward but not UFA money good. No need to worry about it now though.

 

[LORDE]

Again Gorton using term as the Hill he’ll die on. The money isn’t all that important
