Okay last thing before I leave...who was the guy who asked for sources that Vesey and Hayes were close friends? MaximusButthurt or something? Here's your proof since Larry Brooks wasn't good enough:

Kevin Hayes ‏@KevinPHayes12 4m4 minutes ago
Welcome to the @NYRangers @19Vesey. Childhood teammates to playing at MSG. Fans get used 2 this saying #thatwasvesey


- rangerdanger94

He's on a conference call

N.E.X.T.

They could be done, other than signing Girgs and Risto certainly. I still think Murray had a fall back plan trade/signing if Vesey didn't pan out and we need one more d man for depth imo.
- mhp

Roll the dice with the lineup you've got till New Years then explore the trade market. Hopefully they can hang around a playoff spot so they'll be more interested in making that push for a playoff spot

I wonder how Turbo is doing?
- rmiethaner

More like Turdblow, amirite?


.....I miss Vesey

Something something your city sucks
- rangerdanger94

Why are you here ?

(frank)ing Chris Drury...

A Rangers Sabres playoff matchup would be pretty interesting, if you guys can get there
- rangerdanger94

And you guys will?

Thank God this little punk signed. And I'm so glad it's with the Rangers! An aging defense, and an even older goalie. They have absolutely no chance to win a Cup with how the team is built. If they didn't do it with King Henry in his prime, they sure as hell won't do it now. They need to blow it up, and start over.

I can't wait for Vesey to get his pompous as# knocked around the ice! This kid is going to have such a huge target on his back. He better grow eyes in the back of his head. I know what he did was well within the rules and I don't claim to know him on a personal level... But whether it was he got bad advice on how to handle that entire situation from his Agents/father, or whatever. The fact is, it rubbed a lot of ppl and players the wrong way. Now the kid is playing on the biggest stage in hockey! Haha. He better produce right away, or he will be ran out of town by those ruthless NY fans! Wow, did this kid get some really bad advice!!! No matter what he does, score 50 points, or whatever, it will not be enough for the NY fans. They care about winning and that is it. As ruthless as they are, they are a - team comes before the player - type of city! And Vesey, if anything, has shown or at least given the impression he may be sort of selfish...

I can't wait until he goes to Buffalo/Toronto/Nashville/Pitts/CHI.... He is going to have one hell of a time. I'm not saying he deserves it or not. What I'm saying is, he is going to get booed everywhere he goes, and probably going to take a lot of cheap shots as well as clean shots. Good!!!!

All of that hype for a kid who never played a single game. A lot of writers and publications should be ashamed of themselves for all the erroneous and bullpoop** reports they put out...
- Dukey3030

Tell us how you really feel.

Leafs or Bruins signing kris Russell after this would make me feel a whole lot better

I like Tim Murray a lot.

He puts in a lot of effort for his club and sometimes it doesn't pay off. Doesn't matter. He keeps trying his damnedest to make the team better as aggressively as he can. Something admirable about that, I think.

I'm not a fan either but I don't think they're done making moves so just guessing.
- Sabresfan-365

I would rather hold off on adding another d man unless it's a 7th guy or top 2.

Not that I don't thing this is a good move for the Rangers, I really don't understand Vesey's thought process here. Honestly, when I saw his list of 8, I put the Rangers at 7, only ahead of the Devils(had buffalo 4th, so I didn't think he was coming here).

Surprising reaction. Would he have been a punk if he had signed with Sabres?

Well he signed with another team so it's over

Why would leafs sign Kris Russel?
- ClarksonDavid

Exactly I mean they shouldn't but they were linked to him a while ago

We do need to sign or trade for a top six LW to play with Eichel that's a point blank fact to me.

Kane? (Who knows if he even starts the season or how much time he cold be ot)
Moulson (Unless he makes a complete 180 he isn't cut of for the top six anymore)
Foligno (Doesn't deserve to kiss the top six)
Ennis (Massive question mark. Missed pretty much all of last year. Don't remember him playing a lot of LW here. Only RW and C
Girgensons (Doesn't deserve to be in the top six)
Nylander (Probably shouldn't be rushed)

I like Tim Murray a lot.

- BINGO!

It kind of does.

Yeah, did not think of that.
- rmiethaner

They're royally (frank)ed.

They only have $2.3 million in cap space and they have 9 guys on the team making $800k or less.

It kind of does.
- sbroads24

Only a little bit

It kind of does.
- sbroads24

I meant to him.

It HAS cost him a few times already but I don't think he"s going to stop.

"Murray always gets his man"
- sbroads24

Another gift to Uncle Bryan

Exactly I mean they shouldn't but they were linked to him a while ago
- Sabresfan-365

Yeah it didn't make sense then doesn't now also pretty sure someone came out and said that those reports weren't true at all that would have had me freaking out. I was hoping he would sign with Vancouver

Roll the dice with the lineup you've got till New Years then explore the trade market. Hopefully they can hang around a playoff spot so they'll be more interested in making that push for a playoff spot
- Sabresfan-365

He's got a back up plan for a winger and a depth dman is my guess. If the Girgs contract situation festers we'll see a trade for sure.

I meant to him.

It HAS cost him a few times already but I don't think he"s going to stop.
- BINGO!

I don't want it to. Will he make more mistakes? Sure. Will he also gamble and pay off? Absolutely. He is the anti-Darcy. I'll take that every d*** time.
