Mike Augello: Report: Leafs On Vesey’s Short List
- mikeinbuffalo

So are the Sabres, Bruins, Devils.....

He can talk about Buffalo because they own his rights......it's any other team that he has to be careful about, until Aug. 15th

Damm, and I thought slavery had ended...

Nobody talks about the Sens. Not even Spatso.

Guys. I would draft Matthews. But why aren't you guys talking about Laine!? At least talk about him!

I don't think our Buffalo fan friend really understands the concept of tampering.

I've spotted the problem here. And have highlighted it.

sure, but if he slips up and makes it seem like he's had some type of informal discussions with agents of said them....then the Sabres have grounds for tampering charges.

.....AND with his dad already working for he Leafs, you can be damn sure he's been told not to even mention them at all, especially if he has an idea that's where he will end up.

He could say he loves Toronto, would love to play for Babcock is Matthews' best friend, he can't wait until August 15th so he can sign here etc.

He can say pretty much anything he wants.

now, if he came out and said he was impressed with the offer or presentation Toronto made last week, that may be a problem. I am pretty sure he is bright enough to understand that.

"How can it be tampering if he hasn't spoken to Stevie Y.....?"

You are just a scowly bottle of chocolate milk that has likely curdled.

I can't respond to you. I already feel silly responding to a Seagull every day.

If you could have 1 forward, 1 dman and 1 goalie of your choice who would it be. I'll throw in a bonus pick too for any position. Any team any player. Current ages.

Mine are...

McDavid
Doughty
Price

Bonus is Toews.

He's a scout and doesn't make contractual decisions or personal decision other than advice, Doubt they would do anything to a guy that talks to his son.

is it even possible for you guys to have reasonable discussions about hockey topics without being such D Bags?

It's a real question

Hey don't lump the rest of us D-bags in with that D-bag.

Here's the funny thing, though:

Vesey (the dad) is the Leafs' New England scout.

So in theory they would be asking him his opinion on whether or not they should try to sign his son.

Vesey played across the Charles River from Boston.

Sometimes. Not often. We like to have fun and (frank) with each other. Sorry if you think we're bad hosts but nobody invited you here nor is anyone begging for you to stay.

Im assuming you mean to win tomorrow.

- the_eye

he doesn't make contractual decisions....the GM does, who's actions are based largely on advice from his scouts.

It very well could be doubtful, but is it really worth the risk either way. I'm just saying, that's why I don't think you'll hear him talk about TO until Aug.

Not trolling you here - actual question:

Have you figured out who your #1 team will be next year?

Although since Vegas will be in the west, it's entirely acceptable that you would still cheer for the Sabres and also take on a new team.

We do. All the time. Then all you barfalo people can here and stunk up the place

Who gives a (frank)?
