Neither Sabres nor Bruins are in preferred top 3 according to this article... http://www.csnne.com/boston-bruins/s...gn-jimmy-Vesey

According to one of those sources, however, Vesey’s top three preferred spots are currently the Chicago Blackhawks, the New York Rangers and the New Jersey Devils.

Hope they're wrong.

Just received from Vesey reps: There are no front runners. Jimmy will go through the process and Buffalo will be part of that process. (1/2)

Paul Hamilton has not ruled out the Sabres.

. (WGR 550) -- The day that Jimmy Vesey has been waiting for is almost upon us. Monday is when the Hobey Baker award winner is no longer property of the Sabres and an unrestricted free agent.

The Sabres made their pitch to Vesey after the NHL Entry Draft and Tim Murray told him they would leave him alone, but would be available if he wanted to talk.

That time has apparently come as TSN is reporting that the Sabres are back talking with Vesey making a last minute pitch and are very much still in the mix.

We might be talking but is he listening ? Since his salary isn't going to change, endorsement deals are all that are left. So large market teams like the Rangers make major cents, see what I did there ?

This kid is good, but he's not going to get loads of endorsements right now. He's 23 and a rookie. He's not mcdavid or eichel

What does that even mean?

For starters, his money would go a hell of a lot farther in Buffalo than in NYC.

Second, if he's simply basing his decision on endorsement money (which would be monumentally stupid), there's certainly way more money in NYC, but there's also way, WAY more competition for endorsement dollars. Vessel would be a needle in a haystack in the New York metro area, with its 3 NHL teams, 2 NFL teams, 2 MLB teams and 2 NBA teams. Not to mention literally hundreds of pop culture and media stars. Vesey would be a nobody in NYC.

Big NYC endorsement money doesn't go to rookie free agent hockey players.

How old is this guy ?? Oh well he can be influenced by the big city, you watch it's the Rangers and you'll hear why as well.
