I missed that one.

He’s coming back to a place he had no intention of going to and made it a circus

I thought he was going to be good

but never backed up his mouth it’s going to be a long time before I cheer for him

I pitched Vesey to Sabres for a third.

Rags fans were all over it.

Seems like they want him gone.

My guess is right around the time he scores his first goal. Maybe Eichel will give him the ROR snub treatment.

I thought Donskoi would get a lot more.
I had him slotted at about 5mil.
I was wrong about that one.

3 x 3.5 is Ek's reporting. If it's true, I'll be bummed. Not missing out on Haula bummed, just normal bummed.

McKenzie says that Lazar took a 1 year 700k league minimum.


I love it that there was about 4 pages of discussion about wasting money/roster spot on him. Lol.

When a player signs for that much lower than anticipated, it usually means he has his sights on playing there for reasons other than money.

Sam and Jack are even better friends and former roommates aren't they?

When the Sabres released their big wallpapers/media day it was Jack, Sam, Dahlin. No Risto. I really don't see them moving Sam but if they did move Sam... bringing in Nyquist who can play both wings does make a little more sense?

4th line plug.

Does not move needle for me. He may not even make the roster.

He asked to be sent down to the AHL last year, which is odd.

Of course Garth was talking about him coming in and tearing this team up.

Vesey never even played for Buffalo. How did he do your team "dirty"?

Maybe, he's been around a 40 point pace player for a while. Maybe fans just overvalued him because he was in the "undervalue sneaky good signing bin" so then naturally all teams (fans) want him artificially inflating his value on message boards but not in reality.

Or he likes weed.

Agreed, but he may be motivated to come in and kick some arse.

He HAD talent at one time.
