Popular Post CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 Wonder if the organization is posturing for a deal down the road and ensuring there is some forward depth? Nevertheless....new player new excitement and totally new expectations that likely are unrealistic on my part Welcome Jimmy. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimito Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Thought he was pretty good when he first came into the league, what happened these few years? Hope he can contribute with nux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just how he held out with Nashville and demanded out after not even playing a NHL game. I’m not into that. Also I hate everyone on the leafs hahah However it’s been a long time since then and Is a good depth move. He’s got scoring touch too, never know might be really good for us 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he and Gaud's can have some kind of Boston-kid chemistry. I really like moves like these though. You can't always really tell as a fan what exactly a player on other teams are. Sometimes a move can do a guy wonders and he just clicks on a new team in a new role with different players and different expectations. Here's hoping! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -SN- Posted March 17, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 17, 2021 Can't really get enthused by a guy that refused to play for and whined his way off multiple teams, but at least he's cheap. 2 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo2337 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 We probably aren't going to see a huge upside (if any). He was at the bottom of the Leafs roster and got waived for that reason. Maybe a temporary experiment shakes things up for a couple more wins though, so who knows? My expectations are very low. "he was gifted the initial starting spot of being on the Tavares and Nylander line, and has steadily underwhelmed in the bottom six roles."https://theleafsnation.com/2021/02/24/trying-to-understand-why-jimmy-vesey-plays-every-night/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fanuck Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I remember when he was considered a 'highly coveted' free agent after he didn't sign with NSH and finished college. Easy to say in hindsight, but I wasn't impressed with him back then and didn't see what all the 'hype' was over this guy. JB's time in BOS probably overlapped Vesey's stint in Harvard so he may know something about him as a player. Cheap, expiring, low-risk depth acquisition - hopefully he's a 'team first' kind of player - guess we'll find out soon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK size... cheap... not the worst GMing ever. Gaud's needs something to spark him, maybe this is it? probably expecting too much there but its a no-risk move either way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
