That's the only thing he did and that was months ago. Most people have been over that for a while (except Nashville fans, of course). He had 4 months left until he could choose where he plays. I'd wait a little bit longer, too.

Like I said, I don't think he did anything that bad. Not like he's the first player to not play for the team that drafted him

Plus he couldn't talk to any of the teams until he became a free agent.

I still don't like that name. I also don't like Key Bank.

I also thought Vessey's camp denied that he promised Nashville he'd sign with them? Obviously that could be a lie, but I've been watching sports long enough to know I shouldn't believe a word that comes out of a GM's mouth, either.

I'll bet any Sabres fan here that the Leafs don't lose a game this year at the First Niagara Center.

Any takers, or are you all (blue and) yellow?

Ha-ha!!! Yeah, Toronto's roster of OHLers is going to instantly mesh this season and take home the cup. I'll take your bet all day long.

I always chuckle when I see the Bruins play in the TD Garden.

TD stands for Toronto Dominion, so the Bruins play in an arena with "Toronto" in the name.

Wild, wacky stuff.

read (reed) more carefully

He's going to sign in Boston because he wants to play for his home team.
He's not going to play in Boston because Claude will never give him PP Time.

He's going to sign in Chicago because they're the best team on the planet.
He's not going to sign in Chicago because they're too far away.

He's going to sign in Pittsburgh because they won the Stanley Cup, not Chicago!
He's not going to sign in Pittsburgh because they're a cap nightmare

He's going to sign in Toronto because his family works for the organization and who doesn't want to be part of the Shanaplan?
He's not going to sign in Toronto because they're the worst team in the league and Lou Lams scares him like Hannibal Lecter.

He's going to sign in NY with the Rangers because it's Broadway and they have the King!
He's not going to sign in NY because they're rough on 2nd contracts and he's not an Elvis fan.

He's going to sign in NY with the Islanders because he can play with John Tavares!
He's not going to sign in NY with the Islanders because the seats at the area don't even fact the ice.

He's going to sign with the Devils because they can give him tons of ice time and have a ton of cap space.
It's (frank)ing Newark, dude. No way.

He's going to sign in Buffalo to continue is bromance with Jack Eichel.
He's not signing in Buffalo because he's afraid Kane might rape him...

DOES THIS EVER END???

Plus you might want to get someone to read the fine print of the bet to you.

You really need to read the entire tier of comments before posting.

But thanks. Looks like I'm up to two free beers. This is turning out to be a great Friday afternoon.

I agree and don't believe that he promised Nashville he would sign with them....but I also don't believe he advised them that he was not going to sign with them....should he not have done that in fairness to the Preds to allow them to explore deals at the deadline?

No, it will never end. It will keep going and going and going until one day your head explodes.

Mmmm yeah I'd take that bet as well, even when we were the worse team in the NHL the leafs couldn't beat the Sabres.

There was a section about 10 pages back in Michael's last blog where Landlord
Tom looked to be going off on a politics tangent pretty good.

He could, doesn't mean he has to. Also, given what I see from him right now, he might not have known by then. He seems very indecisive, probably was considering that move 3 years ago and just made up his mind the day he played his last college game.
