I don't see how that's an issue. You can't just accuse someone of tampering without evidence, and there isn't any.

His dad being a scout isn't evidence of tampering. Hell, we saw something similar last year with Mike Reilly. He left college and became a ufa just like vesey and signed with Minnesota, where his dad is a part owner.

Course you can. Just look at OJ.

I thought Poille already threatened the Leafs with tampering charges before trading his rights to Buffalo.

The NHL will find a way to screw the Leafs. Like when they decided teams shouldn't get compensation (after Babcock and LL) just when the Leafs were signing up and coming management guys from the OHL

Or when they changed the draft % just when the Leafs announce they will be going into their first rebuild for 50 years.

I don't think so. If they did, it would have been handled already. You don't fine someone for tampering after months because they signed someone. They fine for tampering when the tampering occurred.

Yeah it was great! Hot as (frank) here though.

I wanted to take my Bernese Mountain Dog out yesterday for a walk an a swim and had to bring 8 refilled bottles of water to wet her down the every 10 minutes and give her so water. A 30 minute walk turned into over an hour to give her some rest in the shade and some cold water

She loved the swim though so it was all worth it

How was yours?

Vesey won't be signing with the Leafs. I don't think they'll run the risk of being accused of tampering/conflict of interest etc. on a player like Vesey. Stamkos, sure. Vesey, I'd doubt it.

Not an issue at all and probably not a worry for them at all if they've done nothing wrong.

That's only when he becomes a free agent. If actually wants to talk and visit teams it could take a few days. It's reported elsewhere that Vesey's. Team has indicated they expect to wrap it up around Thursday or Friday...

So what's the expectation for Vessey?

40 pts, 45?

Lots of hype if you ask me.

I bet a team out west comes in strong, maybe LA, SJ or ANA

now this is a good question....

i) if he signs with Buffalo (and come on... who wouldn't)... playing with Eichel probably like 120
ii) if he signs with Chicago playing with Toews - probably 30-35
iii) if he signs with the Leafs playing with Bozak - probably 10


that's about a certain Barfallo blogger will summarize

I would say the chances are good that Vesey would play with Matthews.

Don't see him signing with the Leafs since they don't really need him and can not afford his performance bonuses (can't use LTIR cap room to pay bonuses). I also believe Boston, Chicago and Buffalo are a better fit for Vesey. Funny how many fans hope he doesn't sign with Buffalo so that Garth explodes.

10 - 1 seems pretty high for Buffalo. 50 - 1? 500 - 1?

I don't agree with the premise that they don't really need Vesey. I think he is a better fit as a top six winger than Komarov and is retainable for much of his 20's. JVR and Komarov are UFA's in two years.

This is 100% true, but he would explode even better if Vesey signed with the Leafs. He would write a blog that says tampering so many times that even the word jorts will have more meaning.

That's pretty unfair to Buffalo.

I could see him signing there as an absolute last resort before retiring.

I'd like Vesey to join the Leafs just to watch Garth implode after.

First season, 35 pts.
Career, average 45 - 50pt.

Which is great for a free player.

- Arctic_AARDVARK

for a free college player....yes.
I know people dump on Bozak, but he didnt cost a draft pick and has averaged 35- 49 pts each year.
Which is more than most late first round picks.
