As optimistic as I want to be with this, it sounds like Vesey wants to play for the Bruins very badly.

“I’ve said it all along that Boston is definitely on my list of teams that I’d like to talk to. It’s a team that I’ve rooted for all my life, and it’s a team that I watched win the Stanley Cup in 2011,” he said.

Not surprised, but while the hometown pull might be strong, th team is being run very poorly. It's possible that has a negative influence on him

Yup...Harlow plays McDonough and they are both 3-1. McDonough has some talent: Keith Yandle, Brian Boyle, Johnny Gaudreau, Kyle Palmieri, and the Hayes brothers, Kevin and Jimmy.

McDonough 5 - Harlow 4, OT

His family is trying to dissuade him from making that mistake. I think they would rather see him in Buffalo if he doesn't go with the Leafs.

I saw it in another article that also had the quote that Swiper posted. I think it said something like they didn't want him to sign with a team just because he was a fan.

I was checking Twitter every day. Driving myself crazy. I finally just had to stop.

The latest round of speculation that he is as good as signed with Boston was based on one interview he did with a Boston weblogger.

I think he said exactly what he had to say ("I'm definitely going to talk to them..."). What else could he say.

Anyway, it's clear that no matter what happens, it won't happen before August 15, so I decided to just stop searching Twitter for encouraging signs.

If he signs here, great. If he doesn't, the Sabres will be just fine. Either way, I think it was a good gamble on Murray's part.

That's how I see it. I'm glad murray took the gamble and so far, he seems interested, but wants to weigh his options. He was impressed with the sabres brass when they visited him.

I think it's really between buffalo and boston. If they don't get him, they'll be fine

You'd think he'd want to be his old line mate with all the success they had together, it'd probably make the transition that much easier for him. You'd think playing with a future superstar would almost assuredly make his career that much better, that has to weigh into this versus playing for the home team.

You'd think, but just as well, maybe playing at home is better for him.

Like I said, if we get him, great, but he's not a future mega star or anything. He looks like a second line winger, and while those are nice, we can survive without him.

He'd be a solid 2nd line winger, which as previously mentioned is something we are lacking. It's not make or break but he seems like a character player with very nice awards, so the more the merrier (potentially).
