If that's the case the chances of him coming here are less than 50/50. Time to see if we can get Nash or some other LW.

- Rick Nash is in high demand now. The New York Rangers are receiving several calls on him. One team that called are the Anaheim Ducks. It's believed the discussed Cam Fowler AGAIN. One team everyone is sleeping on though are the Buffalo Sabres. They lost out on Steven Stamkos and have turned their attention to Nash/Shattenkirk. The cost to acquire Shattenkirk will be high so they are concentrated on Nash. One source went as far to say Buffalo will make a trade and sign a key player by Monday night. We can confirm the trade he was talking about was a Nash deal. As for a return to the New York Rangers, it sounds like Evander Kane [retained], and Cody Franson. More to come.

I'm not going to worry about it until it comes out from the Sabres themselves that he isn't signing.

Game Over! He's not coming here. We need to move on, and look elsewhere.

The article says this interview was done before July 1st, but yesterday didn't his agent say they were excited to talk to Buffalo and open to anything? Sounds like rehashed info and doom an gloom to me. Unless I'm confusing the timeline.

Yeah free agency is here and a signed Vesey contract is not. If I am GMTM I let him hear we are pursuing someone to take his place. Pull the top6 guarantee off the table. Tell the kid if he wants to win, sign, if not go to Boston and have fun with ole Sweeney.

The guy who did the interview said quotes came hours before 7/1 but if i remember correctly his agents quotes came a few hours after so I don't really know anymore

This is why WGR is the worst sports station nothing but buffoons ..

So Hamilton got his so called " source " from Kevin Paul Dupont the Boston globe guy ... Retweets the information

Now let's break this down ...


Kevin Paul Dupont
Jimmy Vesey: ‘’I’m still going to go to free agency and explore all my options.''
10:23 AM - 2 Jul 2016

Kevin Paul Dupont – Verified account ‏@GlobeKPD

To me. This week. Hours before free agency started. https://twitter.com/19




Right right ??? But let's go back to June 29 where he said the exact same thing and he just copied and paste today ...



“I’m still going to go to free agency,’’ he said, “and explore all my options.’’

That's strange I guess the Sabres were lying about that meeting that they're having


Next time research a little Hamilton

Article where agent says open for anything and looks forward to meeting with Buffalo posted yesterday

So going on timelines, I am unconcerned.

To me it makes zero sense that he would sign before coming a free agent in August. He can still sign with Buffalo but why not hear what else is out there. What if Chicago offers a spot on Kane line or Pittsburgh offers him top 6 role? He would be crazy to sign with anyone before he's a free agent.

That being said, I think the hype about this guy is over the top. Who is the last college kid to make an immediate impact?

I agree the hype is ridiculous.

I even think it is more ridiculous for teams to offer him a spot in their lineup without ever seeing him play with NHL players.

Edit: using your example with Chicago. Panarin has the spot. No way they would tell Vesey he could have it.

You are asking the SABRES who the last KID out of COLLEGE has made an IMMEDIATE IMPACT...

Can't knock the logic on the Vesey thing.
