WildCard Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 25 year old winger who just had 17 goals. If this was anyone besides someone who spurned us earlier, we'd all be excited about this 9 Quote
erickompositör72 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 I wonder how much Buffalo offered him when we had his rights. That'd be funny if he gave NYR a discount, only to end up here Quote

bobs0108 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 I like this trade. A solid 3rd line guy to put up 30-40 points and still young enough in the league to progress. So far this has been a solid offseason by Jbotts. We are a better team now then we were at the end of the season with no free agents yet. 1 Quote

Zamboni Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 He may sniff a handful of games on the top six to see if there is any chemistry. But I bet the vast majority of the season he plays among the bottom six. It will be fun watching fans freak out during the handful of top six games though. ? Quote
Trettioåtta Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 3 minutes ago, Thorny said: He should be nowhere near the top 6. So, bottom 6 forward. There are 180 top 6 forwards in this league. Vesey was 167th. He is a classic middle 6 forward, not bottom 6 Quote
TrueBlueGED Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Cheap depth scorer added for a single peanut. We needed more cheap depth, so it works for me...unless we don't get another legit winger. Vesey can't be the answer. 3 1 Quote

jad1 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Who would have thought that Vesey is the Murray-guy that Botterill likes? 2 Quote
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 2 minutes ago, darksabre said: Not on this team. right. and he's not going to be on the 4th line - at least he should not be given how "fun" his style of play apparently is - so he's middle 6. hopefully getting cushy minutes on a 3rd line, scoring 15+ per year and not giving up too much in his own end. so, a more offensively minded dixon ward? 2 Quote
Skibum Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Remember when getting this guy on the team seemed like it was the most important thing of the entire off-season? 2 Quote
North Buffalo Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Amerks will be loaded next year. Still butt hurt meh Quote

I don't disagree entirely. But a 35 point player on your third line is what 120 point teams have, not 95 point teams 2 Quote

He chose pizza. It doesn't mean he hates wings, he just preferred pizza. Quote

We've seen absolutely nothing so far. That depth piece may look so much better if they can find that 2C. Quote
That Aud Smell Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Just now, Cascade Youth said: He’s also Jack’s buddy right? reportedly. maybe JBOT felt the need to bring in another pal of Eichel's, since he's shipping off E-Rod as part of some other deal. Quote

Is this what you are saying with this post? Quote

Vesey can't escape the pull of the Sabres If Vesey only knew the power of the 3rd round pick. (We have a new one each year... we can keep him -- or get him back -- forever!) Quote
