Is he claimed to make Gaudette and Virtanen look better? Seriously Vesey isn’t a good player.

Leafs fans,

When you have the following unproductive players in your bottom 6: Loui Eriksson at $6 million, Sven Baertschi at $3.36, Jay Beagle at $3 million (good at draws but not much else), Sutter at $4.375 (good at killing penalties but woefully inconsistent and doesn't gel the line together as you'd hope for from a 3rd C), Jake at $2.55 (fast but inconsistent), Roussel at $3 (gritty but takes dumb and lazy penalties) you'll take the cheap, hardworking and speedy guys that you're finally stockpiling (Motte, Hawryluk, Vesey, Gaudette). Hopefully this fresh blood can awaken the deadweight vets.

He better establish himself as a player a team likes pretty soon. Can’t imagine he gets many more chances.

Yeah, I'm not sure why they or he himself thought that he might be a fit there. I don't think he would be that much better on a team that's taken a big step back this season.
He didn't look terrible early on but then again, hard not to when you're playing with Tavares and Nylander.

Yay.

Not often you get a waiver pickup with more goals than Taylor Hall and Jack Eichel have combined.
crazy stat.

Vesey should help. Good move

Pearson Pettersson Beagle Bailey injured Motte just returned

Better than Hawryluk Eriksson and Michaelis
