Garth does seem prone to hyperbole from time to time.

Scouting is tampering.

If that was true they probably wouldn't do it. And if they said Frank it and did it any why have they not been fined? Benning got fine for an unintentionally off the cuff remark. Not buying it.

I believe his ECL still has to be 3 years. It is one of he reasons that The Preds were so upset, because sign with them would have aleady knocked off 1 year.

As for who he'd rather play with. I don't care what anyone says to him, No playoff team will guarantee him a top 6 role and mean it. His agent has to be smart enough to know that at the very most they'll give him a handfull of games to prove himself, and then he'll be demoted if he can't perform. On a non playoff team, if he can't perform in the top 6, they'll probably still keep him in around in another role making it possible to reach atleast some bonus. A team in a playoff race will not keep him around if he can't perform. He'll get sent to the AHL and he can kiss his bonuses good bye.

Vesey is 23yrs old


How do Entry-Level Contracts Work?
Players younger than 25 years of age as of September 15 during the year of their first NHL contract must sign an entry-level contract which have set limitations - all entry-level contracts are two-way contracts and the maximum allowable salary for players drafted until 2022 is $925,000.

The length of the entry-level contract is also dependent on the player’s age:
18-21 years of age: 3 years
22-23 years of age: 2 years
24 years of age: 1 year

No one is buying it cause it's bs. It's just hot air from a whiny windbag.

All they did was watch a hockey game (which they had players involved in).

If Vesey matches Bozak's career that will be a success for any team who picks him up. Bozak is a valuable player.

A 3rd liner, so probably better than Gretzky.

Sure, just saying the hype around these top college players is usually kind of over the top.
- Zezel


Big time. You are right. Big time. Maybe HOPE for a 50-60 point player but only expect to get a responsible 20-40 point player. I think that's fair. Hockey nuts(like me) just have nothing else to ramble about in the summer.

I would still say the getting Bozak for nothing has been great for the Leafs and I fully believe he will be traded at for a late 1st and B prospect or a 2nd and A prospect.

Bozak is more talented than Gretzky was.

Players and the game haven't evolved that much. It's not like Gretzky was playing two million years ago.

Wasn't first tampering cause Leafs hired dad and drafted brother. Second is cause Quenville watched him play in his summer league.

All good man.

Gretzky could do it and so could maybe 5% of the NHL players at the time. Now 95% of the players can do it and the others are Polak types that maybe they can do it, but a first pass out of your own zone probably shouldn't be a flip pass. Just sayin'

Gretzky went extinct when Barney did. Or maybe even before with "Denver...the last Dinosaur".

It had to be something like that...but when you think about it really, aren't we all tampering with Vesey, just by existing?

I'm not good at copying twitter videos. Scroll down to the #1 Twitter feed to see just 7 year old kids are doing these days.

I would've direct linked it, but I'm old and I don't know about Tweeting.

They're so obsessed on the Sabres thread that they were posting where Pegula's plane was travelling. Utter melt down when it flew to Boston and turned around and went back to Buffalo.

At least we were doing that for a big name like Babcock, these guys are on the edge of their seats for a player that's just your average better-than-Gretzky type.
