The Great 8 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 As the title states do you guys believe we have a chance at jimmy Vesey? For those that don't know him he's a big, scoring winger who won the hobey baker last year. Originally drafted by Nashvillein the 3rd round but his rights were traded to Buffalo. Currently he's waiting till the August 15th deadline where any team can contact him for contract negotiations. Ina recent interview he said his agent was looking at teams depth chart and looking for teams that could be a good fit. Are the Canucks a good fit? With our still lack of scoring after the Sedins and a vacancy in the 2nd line winger slot do you think Vesey would take that opportunity? Personally I think he goes to a team like Chicago but seems like a very good player that could do really well here in Vancouver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All signs so far point to Buffalo, but I mean, it's possible that he signs in Van. Says he wants to stay in the Northeast tho. Boston, Buffalo, NYR, Chicago seem like the leaders in landing him.

Mathew Barzal Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have a feeling the Sedin's would take an immediate dislike to him for his entitlement issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smokes Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 Mr. I'm so special, I won't play for the team who drafted me Vessey? I thought the Canucks were looking for character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he was doing this for the money he would've signed in Nashville in order to knock out his first year of ELC. vesey will get a look at all 30 teams and will be able to make a decision based on where he feels he'd mix well with based on skill sets, lineup, and city Of course this likely means Vancouver is out of the mix.

Vesey is an unproven commodity, hasn't played a game in the NHL, IMO you need to earn the right to choose who you play for. Yes this is a loophole that has been exploited in the CBA but how does that make it fair for all other rookies who get drafted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schultz isnt that bad though, he was just used in Edmonton. Schultz should be a 5/6 not a 3/4. I would be all for adding Vesey but I think he is more of a 3rd liner than a top 6 forward next year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hairy Kneel Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 We're pretty vacant of true scoring wingers.. so he could see a spot here and bump in line ahead of our young guys Etem/Virt/Gran heck even ahead of our checkers like Gaunce and Burr. Secondary scoring wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ojibwa72 Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 He wants the east coast. I'd say Boston or Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
