I'm hoping when this is all settled that they changed this rule. If you are drafted by any NHL team and you don't sign with them you should be forced back into the draft. Now if you went undrafted numerous times when it was your draft years then you should be able to play anywhere.

I'm not a fan of this rule. If you are drafted and don't sign with the team that drafted you it should be you have to re-enter the draft. Now if you went undrafted at any league you were in then you should be able to pick and choose your destination. Example Panrian

I guess that he didn't want to be outdone by Monahan news

I think he was overpaid. Geez he played with Tavares.

Chicago Red or Ranger Blue?

I really want him in Buffalo because him coming here opens up trade possibilitys in Zemgus, Evander and Tyler. Trading any of them off for defensive help would be huge. I don't know if this current roster is good enough to get a playoff spot. But landing him and then a trade of possible others would give us a far better chance of making the playoffs. This is why I'm so big on drafting well. If that means you hire as many scouts as needed to find these players then so be it. Let's get one thing straight it's much harder for Buffalo to land quality free agents without paying them more than they are really worth plus Buffalo isn't an attractive destination. Him going to Chicago or Pittsburgh would just prove the rich get richer.

He would be a restricted free agent in 2 years!

I'm not getting my hopes up that he's coming here because I would be shocked after all this that he comes back to the team that traded for him. It would be nice if he did sign here because then Zemgus and Evander might be on the move elsewhere. What comes as crazy if he ruled out Detriot being too far then you would have to rule out Chicago as well.

Looks like a top ten pick coming and both Ryan's will get the boot after this season.

I agree. Let the Boo birds ran down when he comes to Buffalo.

I hope I'm wrong but I think the Hawks are gonna come in and sign this kid.

I still don't know if this team is good enough to secure a playoff spot.

I think the rich keep getting richer and he will sign with Chicago.

I can see it now that Vesey will get booed in Nashville and Buffalo when this is all said and done.

As in what? When he goes to a contender or possible Cup champ.

I'm already getting ready for him to sign somewhere other than Buffalo after Aug 15th. Now it should be interesting what move Murray makes next. I don't know if this current roster makes the playoffs.

It wouldn't surprise me if he goes to Chicago. They can easily afford him and look at who he can learn from. I'm calling it now he's not coming to Buffalo.

If he signs with Buffalo I would be shocked. Believe me I want him in a Sabres uniform but you have two teams that wanted to sign you and you want to sign else where. You want to be in the top 6 of the lineup. You need to earn that first. I hope they change this rule that him and his agent are exploiting. It's needs to change that if you were drafted and don't sign then you need to be put back into the draft.

Why do I have this feeling he's not gonna sign here. But hey at least Murray gave it his best shot. No matter what Murray says about Buffalo as being a place where talented players want to come. I don't buy it unless crazy money is thrown their way. I still think the majority of this team needs to be built thru the draft and they should have a huge scouting department if that's what it takes.

If he signs with Toronto after all this then we know the kid can't make his own decisions.

What I mean with other deals need to be made is if Vesey signs another player or players get moved sooner than later.

I want him to sign here but I don't believe a top 6 role should be just given to any and I mean any player without earning it. This kid hasn't proven anything yet. Yes he won the honey baker and played in the worlds but that still doesn't translate to success at the NHL level. If he signs in Toronto then we know his father makes his decisions for him. Any other team then it's his preference on who he wants to skate with. The only thing I don't like about this situation is giving a kid a top 6 spot when other deals need to be made.

So what's everyone's opinion will be if he signs with someone else or Toronto?

And if he goes there the rich get richer.

As much as I want him on the roster if he signs with someone like Chicago or a cup contender I will be pissed. Don't get me wrong I get it but I think he would get the most out of teams who are still rebuilding who can place him in that top 6 role and power play guy. Buffalo needs to go to Boston with Murray, Coach Byslma, and the Pegula's and get this done and if nothing comes out of it then he can #uck off.
