Confirmed Signing with Link: Vesey signs with the New York Rangers

[Auston Matthews]

Hope he busts. Don't care if I'm petty. Goes to the team on a decline lol.

Every single time there is a high profile signing like this, it never works out. The players never live up to expectations and it typically happens to the Rangers. Look at Brad Richards... Rangers fans probably think they are getting some star but will be heavily disappointed. I won't be surprised if he busts and is an AHL player or a mediocre player.

 

[Riptide]

If he wants top 6 icetime, I'm confused. Rangers have very good wingers.

That and an old goalie, a declining blueline and no play making center to get him the puck. Sure it's a storied franchise and all... but I think there were better options out there for him.

 

[Crease]

So many factors are considered when deciding where to sign. It's like any other job. Do you like your boss? What kind of responsibilities will you have? Does the culture resonate? Will you get along with your teammates? Is there a mentor? What about the neighborhood? And on and on.

Hard to criticize anyone's decision from the outside looking in.

 

[TrillMike]

Finally over

 

[KingDeathMetal]

I like the youth NYR is building...

Kreider
Zibby
Stepan
Miller
Hayes
Lindberg
McIlrath
Skjei
Buchnevich
Fast
Vesey

gonna be fun to watch next year... pretty damn impressive youth

Shhhh you're ruining the narrative that our window is closed and the team is full of declining players on bad contracts!

 

[Rebels57]

Nash Step Zucc
Kreider Zib Miller
Vesey Hayes Buch

By far the best top nine in the NHL. Doesn't matter how trash are defence is, this group is a contender

Lmao, no it's definitely not.

 

[FLYLine27*]

I hate the fact they got both him and Hayes and the teams that draft them get nothing (Buffalo also gets screwed here). I hope they eventually look at that rule with NCAA.

No, Buffalo screwed themselves making that trade.

 

[Andre Palot]

Thanks for nothing Shero!

 

[Fogelhund]

Congrats to the Rangers and Vesey.

I had hoped he'd sign with Leafs, but I'm not one of the bitter ones.

 

[JT Kreider]

Hope he busts. Don't care if I'm petty. Goes to the team on a decline lol.

A decline according to who? A bunch of know it alls on a stupid website?

Nobody knows how the future is going to play out.

We're not on a decline until we actually decline.

If the team coming off a season with the 4th most points in the East is declining, I'd love to hear your opinion on the rest of the league.

 

[WesMcCauley]

So how good is he? As a NYR im obviously happy because sounds like he is a solid player but what is he expected to turn into? Top 9? Top 6? Top line player?

Out.

 

[Ace]

So he told the Rangers he's signing. Wonder where he ends up.

 

[exporta]

Still surprised he didn't sign with Boston.

New York as a city has allure, and their prospect pool is weak. He'll have a better chance of getting $$$ (2nd deal) and ice time to show what hes got.

haha definitely not... I love what NYR has built.

 

[Rebels57]

You're biggest issue is Hank's age and your D prospect pool being extremely thin and led by Skjei, who has 2nd pairing potential.

Playing with mika zibanejad?

 

[Riptide]

Trigger everyone but NYR fans calling him a bum...

I'm a Pens fan and while I'm disappointed and think he made a poor choice choosing NYR, I still think he'll be a very good player in the coming years.

 

[Mad Brills*]

So he chose hayes over eichel/tavares etc...

Awful choice.

Him and eichel would've been great.

 

[One Winged Angel]

Never gets old, even as a Ranger fan.

Get rid of Girardi, and this team has a good chance at doing some damage. Really love that third line.

On the 3rd line behind Nash and Kreider?

 

[SEALBound]

Not where I would have picked...but whatevs. Stinks it's over...still another month until camp starts...

 

[TheGroceryStick]

Ha ha...Leafs lose out again....lol.......anyways, this is good for the Rangers who do not have much for young up and coming talent...exactly what the Doctor ordered for you guys!

Lose out? Only 2 teams lost anything in regards to Vesey.

 

[periferal]

Of all teams...
