one name to keep your ears open for in UFA that Sabres might go after..........Vesey

[DetDannyWilliams]

So after his first year in Buffalo, what would Jack Eichel tell someone about playing for the Sabres?
He had a quick answer today when asked by The News what kind of sales pitch he would use with close friend Jimmy Vesey, the Harvard winger who was named the Hobey Baker Award winner Friday night -- and will be an unrestricted free agent come Aug. 15 after opting against signing with the Nashville Predators.
Said Eichel: "It's a great future here. It's a great city to play in. It's a great team to be a part of. We have a young group that's headed in the right direction. It's definitely a hockey city. People care about you here. People would love to have you and it's a great place to play."
Vesey, Nashville's third-round pick in 2012, is still technically Predators property so teams can't negotiate with him until his UFA period starts. Eichel and Vesey played together with Team USA at last year's World Championships in the Czech Republic and work out together in the Boston area during the summer.
