I'm going to kill myself. I'm tired of this Vesey talk.

Maybe he should go on ESPN and do "The Announcement" part 2

It's impossible to know what information is reliable, but it would seem odd that Boston would also be out of it at this point if that's true. There were other reports that seem to indicate Boston was very likely. Also, I'm surprised with Chicago staying in as the distance and west coast travel schedule seems like a real negative.

That said, it could certainly be between NYR and Chicago.

Also factor in that he is looking to see who is in a good cap situation to re-up him in 2 years, Chicago and NYR don't seem to be the ideal teams.

he is being overhyped and will almost certainly not make the impact many people seem to be expecting.



Completely agree, I know all of this isn't his fault and is mainly media driven and it's a slow summer. But damn its getting ridiculous that guys are "selling a team" on a dude who has never played professionally. I get that he's a Hobey Baker winner and the last two are elite players it's possible he is too. However he's 23 when he won it and Eichel/Gaudreau where younger when they did.

These teams are in it!

These Guys are Out!

Looks like this team is the front-runner! Now These guys are!



.....How the (frank) does anyone know any of this? There's one guy that gets to make this call, and he ain't saying poop (except to Detroit, apparently.)

at least we were on his short list. Hard to compete with Chicago and NYR. Bummer but oh well

Why would anyone want to play for the Rags franchise? I guess he doesn't care he'll never win a stanley cup?

Rangers window is closing on its own, I'm kinda hoping Pitt signs him and he blows.

I can see the allure of playing on Broadway and a lot players do. Look at Martin St. Louis... What I don't get is if you are a Boston guy how does this NY Rangers team look more attractive then your hometown Bruins? But who knows...

Now his agent just said reports that it's down to NYR and Chicago are inaccurate. Still a chance

NO NO NO NO NO NO That offensive juggernaut will flame Vesey right out of town to the minors. He would be a complete fool to go to that mausoleum in Jersey

Thanks. Just found it here reported in Garth's Corner. Says the report that it's down to Chicago and NYR are not true. Indicated Boston and Buffalo still in.

I'm guess Chicago, NYR and NYI are out.

I don't think they'll report Maple Leafs out because of the family ties to the organization but I think they're out.

I'm guessing it's down to Boston, Buffalo, NJD and probably that order.

Pittsburgh is a wildcard but I think they're out too.

It's not hard to get to Newark from the city, you know.

Not that we are getting him though.

But why would you brave the traffic and high prices every day if you don't have to.

If this kid picks the Rags and he doesn't pan out the NY media will tear him up.
