Part of me thinks what Vesey is doing is the future of sports. Players of high caliber entering the league and being able to pick where they want to play. And sometimes, I think this is a good thing.

However, I don't understand what is taking Vesey so long. He's only going to make so much on his first contract, so I'm not sure that's a deal breaker.

I would imagine, after the particulars of what should be a fairly straightforward contract are worked out. As for negotiating the role he would play, I would think that's fairly straightforward as well.

I still think he's going to look back on the decision not to play in Nashville as a mistake. They have a great system, good players, and he would have played on Ryan Johansen's wing.

Radko, he's ALL yours!

But seriously, he came across like such a prima donna in this whole thing. The fact that he spurned the Flyers and then signed with the Rangers makes it better actually. That team is going nowhere and has no future. Now we can legit root against him.

Vesey just got so easy to hate. I hope his career is a complete and utter failure

Seriously. It's a (frank)ing entry level contract. If you don't like it, move on after 3 years. It's not the decision of a lifetime. The idea of teams catering and having to sell to this brat is ridiculous.

Anyone who wears a Ranger jersey is no buddy of mine but did this kid specifically single the Flyers out?

We shouldn't have interest in him unless he's a top line can't miss.

It took me years before I figured out what Max Shrek said and meant. It was almost as if the way he spoke eas often off balance of had bad agility.
