Big question will be will he sign with Buffalo or test FA.
It's well documented that Vesey and Eichel are close. GMTM isn't the type that gamble a pick on him unless knows he can sign him.Originally Posted by don137

With his friendship with Eichel and everything, the Sabres have to have an indication that he will. Money certainly won't be the issue.

Have to think GMTM has a pretty strong indication he is going to sign, otherwise the trade doesn't make a lot of sense.

This is exciting. Even if Vesey doesn't sign, it's great to see murray taking swings at getting better.
A third rounder is certainly worth the risk...I'm still concerned about his alleged preference for Boston, though.

wonder if this was the deal what GMTM was talking about at the trade deadline that he couldn't get done just yet
Murray says he has interest in a "hockey deal," couldn't get it done today but laid some framework for the summer for a possible deal.

BUF GM on trading for Vesey rights: "Why not us? Why not give it a shot? We have a spot in our Top 6 for him. We had four 3rd-round picks."

More Tim Murray: "If I could've traded (rental) Jamie McGinn for Vesey's rights at deadline, I'd have done it. We'll give it our best shot."

could the sabres talk to him at all prior to the trade? they are capped by rookie deal on him. So it really comes down to where Vesey wants to be. having eichel is a huge benefit to maybe gauging if he would want to sign. I don't know if that's allowed with the CBA, but you have to imagine the sabres had some intel on likelihood of signing.
Sounds like a case of the ugliest girl at the prom trying to get a date.
You almost make me hope the Sabres never win a Stanley Cup just so you don't get to fraudulently celebrate the occasion.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but Eichel and Vesey also have the same agent.

Joe McDonaldESPN Staff Writer
Peter Donatelli, who represents Jimmy Vesey, had this to say about the Buffalo Sabres acquiring the rights of his client from the Nashville Predators: "In our opinion, the only thing that has happened is now the Sabres have stepped into the shoes of Nashville for exclusive rights [to negotiate] until Aug. 15. However, at this time, it doesn't change Jimmy Vesey's intention to become a free agent on Aug. 15."

He's not signing here.
Toronto or Boston. Not just that but not sure he's a top 6.
I know the Sabres have a ton of picks, but I still can't believe that GMTM would essentially give one away for nothing. He wouldn't have made this trade if he didn't think he could sign the kid.

Well believe it... because he just did.
