Sabres acquire rights to Vesey for 3rd Rounder in 2016

[The Jokeman]

Murray said it was a gamble. This player is not going to be looked upon in a very good light by any team if he shuns two NHL teams that tried to sign him.

It's just odd that his agent keeps saying he wants to explore UFA. I mean if he really wants to play for one specific team you'd think he'd tell his agent to maybe get his rights traded there instead of alienating himself to fans and possible future GMs. That said his situation kinda reminds me of the Drouin in Tampa and that seems to have died down.

[SpikedLemonade]

That assburger is a tool whether he tries or not.

[SpikedLemonade]

I'd bet dollars to donuts he signs with Boston.

All those keystrokes and you got this part right.

Congrats!

[SpikedLemonade]

Murray didn't sound too confident about being able to sign him in today's presser.

The fact he can talk in full sentences is quite an accomplishment for him.

[SpikedLemonade]

Yeah, that is the way the NHL works.

GMs hold grudges rather than accumulate talent.

Speaking of good light, do you use a coal miners head gear light when you are digit deep in an anus or do you a lazer light?

Yeah, you get it.

Too bad the Sabres GM does not.

[Dude]

I don't think Murray has a friend in this world.

doesnt matter though.. he admittedly came out and said he had the pick to blow so why not try to negotiate with him exclusively.

The player's agent responded by saying the Sabres are Nashville... c u Aug 15th.

OK, so you don't know for sure what GMTM is thinking. It's just sour grapes from whatever. I bet you still boycott baseball because of the strike in the 90s.

You should just move on like everyone else has.

[coastal]

OK, so you don't know for sure what GMTM is thinking.

i know what he's saying. I know what Vessey's agent is saying. All signs so far point to Murray throwing this pick away.

It's just sour grapes from whatever.

why would u think that. Just because it's counter to the fanboy bandwagon of Vessey being Eichel's next great linemate, doesn't mean it's sour grapes.

baseball sucks.

You should just move on like everyone else has.

move on from what?

[Dude]

I think that because you **** on everything this team does.

[chernobylwraiths]

Vesey's agent HAS to say that. Agents are lawyers are politicians. None feed from the top.

I feel the at least Murray has an inkling that he might have a change with Vesey, and Eichel might be the reason.

He certainly isn't getting any more money from anyone else. It will all be about who gives him the best opportunity and has players he will want to play with.

[Dude]

Exactly.

[SpikedLemonade]

It will all be about who gives him the best opportunity and has players he will want to play with.

OR simply location.

[trapezeus]

when spikedlemonade is confident on something, the exact opposite is sure to happen.

see: bills can't stay in buffalo after ralph.

What a ridiculous comment.

My position was much deeper than that and in the end Buffalo got lucky with a dumb fracker willing to pay $400K more than an aging rock star and a now buffoon presidential candidate.

As I told Coastal, a poster on HF who is a part-time professional scout has been saying for 3-4 months now that Vesey will be signing with the Bruins after August 1st. He is from that area and despite the Leafs hiring his father, he wants to play in Boston given the money is the same for him everywhere. Excuse me for accepting the trusted opinion of an insider rather than the hopes and dreams of a desperate fan base.

No I don't... I was the fanboy leading the ROR trade and subsequent signing.

Murray went all in on ROR and glad he did.

Hes a badass hockey player man.

We need a few more boys for a bad ass team.

[coastal]

We need a few more boys for a bad ass team.

Yes we do... and the pieces that can be used to make that happen...

- obviously our 8th overall
- Girgensons
- Bogo
- Pysyk
- Ennis
- free agency for someone like Yandle or Stamkos.

This Yandle which according to the fan boys here must be signing as a FA with the Panthers now that they have traded for his rights....

So, vesey has the sabres on his shortlist (no surprise)
Vesey likely to test free agency (no surprise again)
But the vesey camp will listen to what the sabres have to say.

Worth the shot.

The only shot that is worth it is the one Pegula finally takes kill off your imbecile GM.
