    These reports are only mentioning the new teams that he's met with. The Sabres are the only team that Vesey's team has talked to on multiple occasions, so I wouldn't say that the Sabres are barely a blip. TSN even reported that he and the Sabres were in "negotiations" right up until the night before the deadline, and not just giving a sales pitch.

    I think they'll be in the top 3. My completely uninformed guess is that he stays home with the Bruins. But I wouldn't be shocked if he chose to play with Eichel either. Regardless, I don't feel like this is a franchise changing decision that teams are waiting on. It's just a rare chance for a team to get a cheap, young prospect that could develop into a solid pro. He will never live up to this hype, unfortunately.

    I should point out that the sabres met with vesey in early july, talked t him right before the deadline, and met with him tuesday.

    If nothing else, they tried. That's all you can ask

    I'd love for the Sabres to get him but lets be realistic here, Buffalo is a hockey loving town and the stadium is filled but for outsiders it's going to be a hard sale. Jack is about the only tie we had besides basically buying his rights for a short-time.

    I was the only one to take the Rangers when the contest started, JTM did after a rumor 4 days later. Sabres had no real chance, big market wins.

    I think having a former childhood teammate, Kevin Hayes, who went through the same scenario of staying in college for 4 years and then signing with a new team might have also influenced his decision. I'm upset as a Sabres fan but as eluded in other posts we still have a few other options at LW if want to.

    I saw yesterday that Vesey is actually 15 months older that Filip Forsberg. Crazy....

    Like I said before, it would have been great to have a cheap young prospect that could have become a solid player for us, but he alone was not the difference is making this team a contender in the eastern conference for years to come. I'm curious now to see if there was anything to those Rick Nash rumors...

    Yeah, you should bask in glow of your prediction, but you didn't break the news. Breaking the news would mean like you have sources or something. You just made a good guess. That's all. And it was a good one.

Then you read a few days ago the same reason he went to the Rangers, yet I don't know anything. HMMM... Check the dates and get back with us soon and let me know about when what was said. I wasn't chasing stories about Vesey nor did I start any threads involving him.

    Last thread I started on here was 1.5 months ago, just to be clear. No one else even ventured Rangers with me giving details about why, coincidence ?? I think not.
