1) I believe the Hawks have 1-2 of their own prospects typically in these games
2) It is no secret that the Hawks intend to talk to Vesey on 8/15, as will about 10 other teams

Bowman and Q showing up at a few of his games is no criminal (or ethical) offense. get over it, dude.

In all likelihood, if Vesey was going to sign with Buffalo, it would have happened by now.

Classless? That is harsh, and really wrong.

Days are numbered? What? Is someone gonna shiv them?

I agree. Scouts/GMs of other teams visit player's games all the time. No biggie.

However, people who keep saying Vesey would've signed in Buffalo by now if he wanting to be here must be the kind of people who buy their car at the first dealership they see. Vesey prefers to shop around a bit before deciding.

As a sabres fan, there's nothing wrong with that IMO.

Except for the pick your gm stupidly gave away....

Fair point, he could easily still end up in Buffalo.

Eff off, JJ.

Chicago's legacy is now tarnished.

TARNISHED!!!!!!!!!!

For the record, you did as much "tampering" all season with the endless line of Stamkos to Sabres articles as the Hawks are doing or have done with Vesey.

I totally agree, but that wasn't my point. Chicago can sign him, go ahead, they can scout him too, but to have the G.M. and the head coach fly to Mass. to scout him in person at some bar league is ridiculous. They should just call GMTM at this point and ask if they can talk to him, I'm sure GMTM will say yes just to move the process along.

I never suggested tampering charges or even complaining to the league, but The fact the people are suggesting that this low-ball move is somehow legit because it's Chicago doing and they have cups recently is utter nonsense. That the Sabres shouldn't be irked because they don't have any cups is ridiculous. Bowman should show some decency and pick up a damn phone and call GMTM already.

Umm no it is not. It literally happens at damn near every game

This is far from isolated, the only difference in this case is they aren't scouting for a potential trade and rather scouting an individual player.

Years from now, no one will talk about the three Stanley Cups. Chicago will only be remembered for scouting Vesey.

And deep dish pizza.
- Atomic Wedgie

Correct. They are even going to erase their names from the Cup and replace with "scouted Vesey" 3 times over

What's ridiculous is you getting upset bcs Bowman and Quenville are scouting a player that becomes a UFA on August 15th. If Murray were doing this you'd be praising him

Did exactly this all season with the endless lineup of Stamkos to Sabres articles. I mean does Garth or anyone else believe the Sabres didn't have scouts at any Bolts games this past season?

Eff off, JJ.

I love how some sabre fans say Garth embarrasses them. Some on this thread seem to be doing a good job on their own.

Bozak came in as a top 6.
I'd say Boston, Chicago or Buffalo. I'd be shocked if it was somewhere else.
- stormey

No he didnt. Bozak spent th first half if the season in the A.

The Canucks would be wise to acquire the Vancouver, B.C. native......

Can you please stop pumping your own trade proposals as wise? Better yet, stop overusing this tired phrase in your blogs
