I said earlier that I hope this move signals that the Canucks are going to be selling this TDL. Right now, this move gives the Leafs a bit of a cap space and they have already been open about wanting to acquire a winger. Can't see how they would fit someone like Pearson in their cap situation, but it might work if the Canucks take back someone like Engvall and retain some of Pearson's salary. I wouldn't be thrilled if the return for Pearson was just Engvall though. I read that the Canucks are the only team to have two Hobey Baker winners. Demko and Kyle Connor were the runner up to Vesey 2016 Jimmy Vesey Left Wing Harvard Boston, Massachusetts 2017 Will Butcher Defense Denver Madison, Wisconsin 2018 Adam Gaudette Center Northeastern Braintree, Massachusetts 2019 Cale Makar Defense Massachusetts Calgary, Alberta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms.Glitter Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 When I saw the waiver wire, I was hoping that they would pick him up! excellent job GMJB and co. a useful player that should fit in well here! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Can't believe that Vesey was on waivers and that the Canucks claimed him. How did he fall out of favour in Toronto? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to be a bottom six player that's for sure. No room in the top six for Vesey unless he demonstrates that he deserves a spot up there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although if he could be a Mike Sillinger type that would be found money. Mike Sillinger was one of the best faceoff men in his era. That alone kept him employed in the NHL for numerous years 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sad to say we may be stuck with LE for one more year unless he can be traded off with a pick to a cap floor type team. real estate is way up tho, not sure Aqua is hurting from that pov. I think he'll do it if it means the difference between a significant signing or losing a quality player and having Loui in Utica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vesey was at his best playing with the Rangers which I assume, him being from the North East, is kind of like his dream team to play for (along with the Bruins). Getting sent to Buffalo I can imagine was kind of demotivating for him and I would think with the Covid protocols in place he's just not feeling it this year. So maybe he's a kind of player that will be motivated to play when he's in his ideal environment and will not perform if he's not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one saving grace for JV is that he's entering into a team with high character, youth, and mad skill and potential, so if that doesn't motivate him, especially when he'll be given a very good chance to play, then nothing will and he'll be out of the league after this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has been his center for quite a few shifts at St Petes, although Linden plays mostly 2nd line C minutes. So only linemates when coach gives Podz a promotion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Googlie Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 With the knock on Vesey being that he doesn't hit, sounds more like a smaller Sandlak. I used to sit in front of one fan who repeatedly yelled " Hit him with your purse, Jimmy" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
