Vesey signs with Who? and When?

[YardRat]

Go for it.

[OpIv37]

Not us and 1 min after the period opens.

[ckg927]

Wouldn't surprise me if it were Toronto...and likely 3 days after the window opens.

[Mr. Pink]

Blackhawks. Tomorrow.

It's a coinflip between them and the Rangers...I say he'll go with the team that has a better chance at a Cup.

[swiper]

Not us and 1 min after the period opens.

We have a winner.

[YardRat]

Not us and 1 min after the period opens.


We have a winner.

If that does happen, Murray will be all over filing charges of tampering.

[coastal]

Late day 1

Hawks

[Yasgur's Farm]

Sabres...17th

[Dmoney]

Yasgur, I thought for sure you would say on the 15th....with the Sabres.... since its the anniversary of the first day of Woodstock and all.....I guess the 17th is acceptable since it was still going on then in 1969...

[mightysimi]

I read it was down to the blackhawks and devils. I say Devils on the 15th just for because he would get the most minutes there.

[Night Train]

Moscow Dynamo, the 21st..


I'm hoping Buffalo but if Chicago is serious, then he goes there.

[Skooby]

Since he already had a chance at the same set salary in Buffalo, I'll go with the large market Rangers who can give him a whole slew of endorsement opportunities to get his wallet fat.

[YardRat]

My money is on Chicago. Thursday.

[Buffalogic]

GMTM gets it done tonight!

[OpIv37]

I'm just happy that this is soon to be over so we can stop speculating. I'm sick of hearing about it.

On a related note, anyone else wish they would just have the election tomorrow and get it over with?

[Yasgur's Farm]

Yasgur, I thought for sure you would say on the 15th....with the Sabres.... since its the anniversary of the first day of Woodstock and all.....I guess the 17th is acceptable since it was still going on then in 1969...Excellent point... But lineup was good on the 17th...

Incidentally... The Sabres came to be roughly 1 year after Woodstock... Inaugural season was '70/'71

[ckg927]

Per TSN's Darren Dreger, here's who is in the mix: Buffalo, the Devils and Rangers, Toronto, Chicago & Boston. He adds, though, that most teams will be calling tomorrow.

[don137]

I say New Jersey on Thursday. Thinking he rather be on east coast which puts Hawks out of equation.

Wow...that's breaking news. Did Dreger just crawl out from underneath a rock?

[WagonCircler]

Excellent point... But lineup was good on the 17th...

6."I'm Going Home"

Let's just hope it's not that one.

Buck Foston.

[Buffalogic]

Well this dude on twitter says sabres expected to sign Vesey. https://twitter.com/Insider_Jordan/status/765282201491550208

[Dmoney]

The Who, at 5:00 am is absolutely ridiculous....to see them play a 25 song set....unreal....

[Yasgur's Farm]

Let's just hope it's not that one.

Buck Foston.Nice... You did a bit of work to pull that title out.

[Skooby]

Is this the Maple leaf dude without his costume ?

[The Jokeman]

Well this dude on twitter says sabres expected to sign Vesey. https://twitter.com/Insider_Jordan/status/765282201491550208

Too bad he's Twitter history is less than a month old aka unreliable. I have faith we still have a chance since his agent hasn't ruled us out. That said I hope GMTM has a backup plan like Pirri in place or do the unthinkable and sign Kucherov to an third level offer sheet that cost at least One 1st, 2nd and a 3rd Round pick considering we have two 2nds and two 3rds in next year's draft

[JATMtheJATM]

People are suggesting vesey just bought a condo in NYC with Kevin hayes. Chris Ostrander and talk hockey on twitter are the ones reporting this. Ostrander seems legit.

So. If true, rangers

[JATMtheJATM]

Still, take that with a big grain of salt.

It was confirmed that vesey turned down the wings already.

[trapezeus]

why with 900k a year would you roommate with someone?

You sure this isn't Jimmy Hayes?

[Dr. Lecter]

IMO, Pittsburgh has to be tempting to him. He can win now and put up good numbers too.

[ckg927]

Wow...that's breaking news. Did Dreger just crawl out from underneath a rock?

Who would you rather trust with hockey news: Dreger, or some jabroni on Twitter or a message board?

Case closed.

Somebody on the radio yesterday indicated Vesey told Detroit he 'wanted to be closer to home'. If true, one would think that takes Chicago out of the running.

Well, being young, with money, in new york. Dude is a friend. Imagine he fun you could have.

This doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter if he's in NY or Vancouver. During the season he's not going to have time to get home. The only difference it makes is a few extra hours on a plane a couple of times during the off-season. If he's that hell-bent on home, Boston is the only choice.

I was young in nyc without that kind of money and bought my own place and had plenty of fun. nyc real estate tends to be a good investment. I don't buy that news story.

Sabres on Saturday.

Vesey : "You know, when Tim Murray grabbed my leg and started weeping, and Kim Pegula beat him away with that rolled up newspaper, in front of the fan, her hair gently blowing in the breeze, well, it ah, touched me....deeply, when she looked at me, and smiled in that way of hers."

Murray : "The minute he stepped near the fan, I knew I had to act. I looked at Kim, she saw it too, we moved."

Kim Pegula : "We were fortunate opportunity gave us the chance to ...lead this young man...to explore his skills...deep deep within our organizational...structures." (pets Tim Murray kneeling nearby)

Tim Murray : "Yes...yes....yesyesyes."

Terry Pegula : "I had no doubts. Here, Vesey caps for sale, discount, courtesy of our new partners for a New Era ! Was that okay, Kim ?"

Kim Pegula : "Rawr."

[Buffalogic]

Supposedly this ends today.

[Mr. Pink]

Anyone go with the Rangers on the 19th?

[Yasgur's Farm]

Vesey signs with Rangers... Bass turd

He's going to boink Susan sarandon

Funny how I break all this crap early, yet I know nothing. Sabres knew Rangers as well, tried to change his mind.

This was my answer here, Question answered and even why. The date means zero, lots of signing choices.

[Skooby]

That's not breaking, you guessed right

You followed a news story 4 days after I posted where he is going. I broke the news story and even the indisputable reason why he did it & Didn't bother posting a date because that part would of just been a guess.

[JATMtheJATM]

Dude, you didn't break any story. You posted a guess and was right. There's a huge difference

[Skooby]

Dude, you didn't break any story. You posted a guess and was right. There's a huge difference

I was told he was going to the Rangers, didn't make another thread to announce it or make a big deal of it. There's like a ~dozen of us who visit here this time of year so what's the point ?? I even told you why he was going there as well (which you'll read about eventually), not guessing any date of signing (which is irrelevant).

No one took the Rangers, no one. You did after hearing a story 4 days later, which basically makes you a re-reporter of one of several ideas. Congrats and enjoy reality.

[Skooby]

“I don’t think it had a factor in the decision, so to speak, but one of the things I definitely liked about New York was the top-notch lifestyle that the city offers.”
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/why-jimmy-vesey-took-the-new-york-rangers-free-agent-pitch-032611915.html

Go check the Vesey right thread to find where I specifically mention how the big city influence would bring him in, yet I'm just guessing and don't know S--t.

I live in a town where money has no meaning, I'm serious it's really different down here. My neighbor was Tom Golisano, just to be clear. I've been down here 23 years this July, different life here and hard to explain.

No, you werent. Just enjoy the guess you made and stop pretending you have sources. You are a clear step above DDW, who just makes stuff up, and you guessed right here. So I'll give you that.

I get it, twice is a pattern. I hit a few on the Bills side so it's cool, hockey season is coming up so I'll let you know what I hear if anything soon.

[trapezeus]

let us know what the deal is with evander kane. are they going to part with him or stick it out. a little detail would be helpful as its a slow season for hockey, mitch

[Skooby]

We'd like to trade him but what we will get back will not be enough, so he sticks until he can't play (via suspension or jail). His buyout came and went already this season, so it's potluck now.

I'd also fear the remainder of the off-season with him, Lord knows what he might do. He's been eerily quiet, so maybe he has turned a corner (looking for his next trouble spot).

[Ginger Vitis]

The other day I saw a blogger do a 2017/2018 Las Vegas mock roster and Evander kane was the 1st line LW for them.. ( Ive seen 4 las vegas roster mocks and they all have a different sabre... Kane..Moulson..McCabe..Girgensons)

Las Vegas picking Kane I think would make GMTM happy

[trapezeus]

If losing Kane in lottery draft makes GMTM happy, why doesn't he take a low ball offer and get something for him. If that guy doesn't pan out, then he goes to lottery draft

[JATMtheJATM]

While vesey may not be Austin Matthews, with all these injuries, you can see how valuable being able to sign very would have been. Plus it would have left more depth in Rochester, which they need.
