Brawndo Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) 76th Pick traded. He wants to be Eichel's Winger Edited June 20, 2016 by BRAWNDO Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) Buffalo Sabres @BuffaloSabres TRADE ALERT: Sabres acquire rights to forward Jimmy Vesey from @PredsNHL for a 3rd rd. pick. http://bufsabres.co/UMc1yu Edited June 20, 2016 by LGR4GM Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 So kids... Murray can officially talk to Vesey and convince he wants to be Jack's permanent winger... think it gets done. Also who the fudge is VesCey? fix the thread title JSB Quote
Derrico Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I know it would be tampering but I would think Murray (via Eichel) must have an idea he can get a deal done with him. Don't know where he projects and how good he can be but this is great news!!!! Quote
Hoss Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Nice move if he signs quickly. Will help set up the rest of the offseason. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Chris Johnston @reporterchris 3m3 minutes ago Jimmy Vesey was drafted No. 66 overall in 2012. The third-rounder the #sabres sent to the #press for his rights falls at No. 76. this isn't really a prediction, but I'll put it here anyway. This is Vesey with some comparables. In addition to the chart below, I'm not really confident on how my model deals with 22 year old NCAA players, so I like to look at when players reach 1000, (NHL ready) These are players within an inch and within 10 pounds of Vesey at age 17 Eichel reaches well over 1000 at 17 Toews, Boeser, and almost Pacioretty at 18 Stastny and Kerdiles at 19 Wagner at 20 Vesey and almost Blake Geoffrion at 21 Vesey at 22 I know it would be tampering but I would think Murray (via Eichel) must have an idea he can get a deal done with him. Don't know where he projects and how good he can be but this is great news!!!! Unsure how he will end up but he looks to be quite good. Quote
thewookie1 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Called it! Now lets get this guy a contract! Quote
sodbuster Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Can you make these kinds of picks conditional? Like a third if he signs, but becomes a letter pick if he doesn't? Quote
Derrico Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Sorry but can the thread title be changed to "acquired" or "traded to Buffalo"? My first thought when I saw the thread was me, who got him? Quote
jsb Posted June 20, 2016 Author Report Posted June 20, 2016 Also who the fudge is VesCey? fix the thread title JSB LOL, I was so excited to post this that the oxygen to my brain became blocked Quote
ct fab Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 This is what I've been talking up for weeks - he ws my #1 target in the offseason. In line with exactly what we're trying to do in building a young team. A third is a decent pick, so I would imagine Captain Jack has had ...cough....cough...discussions with him. I would hope so anyway Quote
Hoss Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 McKenzie: 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." Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I know it would be tampering but I would think Murray (via Eichel) must have an idea he can get a deal done with him. Don't know where he projects and how good he can be but this is great news!!!! Legit top-6 prospect. That a playoff team like Nashville promised him top-6 minutes in the playoffs tells you something. So excited. Get the deal signed! Quote

Get the deal signed! Good stuff. Let's get the deal done now. Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 LOL, I was so excited to post this that the oxygen to my brain became blocked Just use edit your first post, then use the full editor and you can edit the thread title. I like the enthusiasm! Quote

Crusader1969 Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I know it would be tampering but I would think Murray (via Eichel) must have an idea he can get a deal done with him. Don't know where he projects and how good he can be but this is great news!!!! I think he projects as a guy who can step into a top 6 role. I have to think/hope they know they can get him with the connection through Jack. You can't give up a 3rd rounder for a complete "shot in the dark". Very exciting but lets wait till he signs before going completely overboard in celebration. Quote
Brawndo Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 More from McKenzie Murray spoke to Vesey's agent Peter Fish to inform him of trade. Fish also reps Sabre Jack Eichel. Sabres/Pegula/Murray will make a pitch. Quote
ct fab Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 He's being coy. Ink is gonna be dry before Matthews puts on his new sweater. I think you're right, hopefully anyway. Has to say this do to the tampering thing Quote
LGR4GM Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 Looks like the leafs are trying to get a goalie to stop the bleeding the Sabres are about to inflict... Quote
nucci Posted June 20, 2016 Report Posted June 20, 2016 I think he projects as a guy who can step into a top 6 role. I have to think/hope they know they can get him with the connection through Jack. You can't give up a 3rd rounder for a complete "shot in the dark". Very exciting but lets wait till he signs before going completely overboard in celebration. I agree but we had 4 of them Quote
