Confirmed with Link: TOR sign Jimmy Vesey (1 year, 900K)

[lovemyleafs]

could be a good fit

Who do we put on the other wing? Robertson? Mikheyev ? Simmonds?

 

[Cor]

I like this signing more than the Simmonds signing. Simmonds is good, but Vesey has the potential to be a big addition for us.

 

[stickty111]

You... serious?

Yes
Kerfoot
Vesey
Robertson
Simmonds
Anderson
Engvall
Barabanov
Another FA signing Wallmark?

Thats a solid mix.

Barabanov, Robertson, Simmonds, or Anderson you’d think

I would reccomend people follow him. He was spot on again.

Yeah he deserves credit. Called so many things.

yeah, especially at this price. 1.5 million for Simmonds isn't terrible, but just seems weirdly high considering the season he just had. 900k is a great price for Vesey

Holy crap Vesey is 27 already? Doesn't feel that long ago when he turned us down for NYR.

I love how Kypreos follows him. Probably steals some rumors from that page

 

[stickty111]

It’s hard to keep track

Vesey, Kerfoot, Barabanov, Robertson, Simmonds, Spezza, Engvall, Boyd, and Anderson are the main names competing for spots eh?

Lol same.
I forgot Barabanov and Boyd.
All of a sudden, we have depth.
Think a centre is coming too. Wallmark? Brassard?

 

[as Pure as Evil]

its 900 k if he meshes and puts up 3rd liine numbers both parties will be laughing come next summer if not he's waiver/ahl fodder

 

[hamzarocks]

Hes pretty bad. Is soft for a big bodied player and underproduces despite good skills. Most likley an AHLer unless we find their are injuries in which case he can play some games.

Rather have gotten Wallmark at 900k. Hopefully can still grab him if we ship holl/kerfoot/engvall out

 

[stickty111]

Yup

Kyper is annoying honestly

 

[Canada4Gold]

Just signing him so they can trade Nylander, per Dreger 4 years ago

 

[aingefan]

You... serious?

He is. I’m looking forward to it too.

 

[BigBlu]

Would Barabanov sign with us again next year if he's buried in the AHL?

 

[stickty111]

2 million left to sign Dermott, Mikhayev, Andersen.

More moves coming.

 

[X66]

Hes playing in the NHL IMO he’s a player.

Maybe he’s clairvoyant.
Nostra-Dreger.

Be pretty hilarious is Willie got moved though, wouldn’t it?

Of course he is

Sign Vesey, trade Nylander to make room for Pietrangelo. Dreger knew it all along

 

[ponder]

Nice! Really like this signing at this price.

It was Buffalo; aka the graveyard for NHL players

 

[Nylander88]

2 million left to sign Dermott, Mikhayev, Andersen.

More moves coming.

Mikheyev could be shown the door if salary arbitration isn't nice to us. Could be a reason for us signing a LWer that can PK as well
