Thought Vesey is a LW. If he plays with Hayes and Miller he will play LW

Just let him play, hopefully no AV shenanigans

A kid with a ton of expectations, but not given every chance to succeed? Doesn't sound like that was part of the sales pitch.

Having on the 3rd line = a ton of expectations. Maybe in in the GTA. Hopefully Vesey can Crack the top 5 in Calder voting, after Nylander, Marner, Matthews etc.

I'm guessing the same opportunity Hayes had. Kid will get a spot, but there is no guarantee he will keep it.

Good signing by you guys. I am glad he didn't go to a cup contender.

Smooth complisult, bro

Now the Rangers need to dump some dead weight and get Shattenkirk.

There are around 200 defensemen in this league. There are actually other guys they could possibly target.

You can't acquire Shattenkirk with dead weight

You can get Taylor Hall though...

1.65 million for 9 goal Grabner. We should have offered 8 goal Cizickas 3+ million.

Compared to Stephan who makes $6.5m a year and averages 17-18 goals a year? If Cizikas played on the top 6 he would have 15 goals too.

Will anyone ever get his name right.

Who cares, he's a 4th liner or a healthy scratch right now anyway.

Just call him Tubby. Or Cue Ball

The saltiness is palpable.

I just never have understood where the extra H comes from, its not like his name isn't pronounced just like its spelled.

Cue Ball, that's a rough one when you're 27.

I'm sorry you're talking bout 2 time 20 goal scorer Derek Stepan who's points per 60 is on par with Taylor Hall and Filip Forsberg?

Cue Ball, that's a rough one when you're 27.

Men just look MUCH worse when they have that male pattern baldness & they insist on holding on to the hair till the bitter end. Just let it shine Derek, let it shine

Stepan had 22 goals last year and had 18 in the 48 game season lockout season. You must be using that common core math again

Had more than a few real bitter Isles fans yapping on FB last night, that's where the real bright lights of all fan bases hang out.

The Andrew Ladd and Johnny Boychuk contracts take them both to age 38. That should be good.

So now that all the dust has settled what are some realistic expectations for Jimmy Vesey? I think he'll be a solid 45-55 point middle six forward, but as far as his rookie season goes, anything above 40 points would be a big success.

Pretty much what I'm thinking.

If he gets 30-35, that will be cool. anything over 40 would be huge.
