Huckleberry Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 July 1st. The rules. I thought the rule was, he has to sign by july 1st , or he is a free agent come august 15. Quote
apuszczalowski Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Why not? Because he needs vesey to agree to sign a deal, duh They hold his rights and can sign him to an extension at any time. The rest of the league can't sign him til mid August I thought the rule was, he has to sign by july 1st , or he is a free agent come august 15. I thought he just couldn't sign with (well speak to) another team until August, didn't know if there is anything with him tied to July 1st Quote
GoPre Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I thought the rule was, he has to sign by july 1st , or he is a free agent come august 15. He can be signed by the Sabres on or after July 1st. On August 15th he'll become a free agent if Murray is unable to sign him. Edited June 25, 2016 by GoPre Quote
beerme1 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Hey Young'ns. Time to post one of those mind blown gifs. Quote
Drunkard Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Vesey can't be signed until the new league year starts on July 1st. This was always the case once he made it through the trade deadline without signing. Since we traded for his rights though we are the only ones allowed to speak with him.

I'm still not 100 % sure this is true. And yes, I know GMTM said it but Nashville was prepared to sign him in March and use him in playoffs and other college free agents signed after the season.

Drunkard Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 I'm still not 100 % sure this is true. And yes, I know GMTM said it but Arizona was prepared to sign him in March and use him in playoffs and other college free agents signed after the season. Were the other college free agents undrafted players though? I think the ones who went undrafted can be signed because no one owns their rights. Quote
Thorner Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) Why not? Awesome. I'm still not 100 % sure this is true. And yes, I know GMTM said it but Arizona was prepared to sign him in March and use him in playoffs and other college free agents signed after the season. Taro explained it beautifully. Unsigned players can only be signed UP UNTIL June 1. Then teams have to wait for any signings until the new league year, July 1. So Arizona COULD have signed him had they acquired him in March. Once June 1 came, whoever had his rights had to wait. Edited June 25, 2016 by Thorny Quote
beerme1 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 hmm ok must be wrong then :P You been listening to GR? Quote

Arizona or Nashville? Quote
Thorner Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Arizona or Nashville? Arizona, as per Tom Webster's post. Same would go for Nashville, though. If they still had his rights, they could not sign him from the deadline on June 1 through June 30. Not until July 1st. Quote
Stoner Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 You been listening to GR? Whoever said, after the pick, "I'm embarrassed. I don't know anything about this guy" should be fired. I think it was Peters. Quote

If they still had his rights, they could not sign him from the deadline on June 1 through June 30. Not until July 1st. I believe he was drafted by Nashville, Arizona couldn't sign him in the spring, I'm assuming a mistake by Tom Quote
Thorner Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) I believe he was drafted by Nashville, Arizona couldn't sign him in the spring, I'm assuming a mistake by TomOh I thought he was mentioning Arizona, as if they were to acquire him. But that wouldn't have made sense as they weren't headed for the playoffs. Looks like Tom corrected it, though. But anyways, Nashville could have signed him in March, just as we could of, had we traded for his rights at that point. But whoever has his rights, at this point has a period they can't sign him, between June 1 and July 1. Due to league rules. And this ineligible to sign period would have applied even to Nashville at his point, if they still had him. Edited June 25, 2016 by Thorny Quote
Brawndo Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Ryan Geary ended his show on GR this AM by mentioning there are some rumblings about an announcement coming regarding Vesey in the near future. Possibly he has agreed to a ELC with the Sabres to be signed in time for Development Camp? Quote
3putt Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Naw, he is doing a promo visit at Bottoms Up on Tuesday. Quote

GoPre Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 (edited) He can't be signed until July 1st. Why not? A verbal agreement could be announced before July 1st. Of course his agent could be saying they are waiting until August 15th. No ifs, ands or buts about it. Edited June 25, 2016 by GoPre Quote

K-9 Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Can you drink white wine with beef after Labor Day? Only if you wear white. Quote
Hoss Posted June 25, 2016 Report Posted June 25, 2016 Vesey liked Casey Fitzgerald's brother's photo of Casey wearing his Sabres jersey at the draft. Also, I verified that the Sabres store is selling #19 jerseys with blank nameplates. Quote
