beerme1 Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 I know posters are either in the "petulant little child" or "earned his right to choose" category (you're only two options), but Detroit too far away from home? Why would his management team let this go public? It's a 2 hour flight. There has to be 10+ flight options per day. You are an adult now Jimmy, a member of the workforce. You might have to go further east than the I-95 to earn your multi-mill salary. Might have been the polite way of saying I gave you the interview out of respect for Ken Holland who knows my dad etc but in reality means no Detroit. You playoff record is about to die and you aren't going to be the Detroit I know. You're kind of like my hometown Bruins on the way to the bottom for a long run. Next.

Hoss Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 My status on this is still: I really want Jimmy Vesey and I don't have much of a problem with anything he has done so far. I will dislike and boo him if he signs elsewhere but overall I'd prefer if he just signed on our dotted line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I think it's gonna be the Sabres or Boston. If Detroit is too far, so is Chicago -- and he already rejected Nashville, which is in Chicago's division. Pittsburgh and the Rangers are possible but I think/hope he'll want to be in the same division as Boston and Toronto. If he and his family think he's better off being away from home, the Sabres have to be finalists along with the Rangers and Pittsburgh. And most Bostonians don't like NYC. C'mon Jimmy.

bunomatic Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) Saw some twitter stuff today where lots of NY sports figures and celebrities n such were telling Jimmy to sign with the blueshirts. Don't have a link and don't use twitter myself but thought some of you twits might have something. I say that last part with the utmost respect. Not sure what else to call someone that tweets. ;) Edited August 17, 2016 by bunomatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing official just a lot of randomness on the twitter. No one knows anything other than Detroit is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrassValleyGreg Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 Might have been the polite way of saying I gave you the interview out of respect for Ken Holland who knows my dad etc but in reality means ###### no Detroit. You playoff record is about to die and you aren't going to be the Detroit I know. You're kind of like my hometown Bruins on the way to the bottom for a long run. Next. Why not after all is said and done, a simple: "after careful deliberation, we felt x was the best fit for jimmy"? Simple. I guess "too far from home" is polite but it was poorly handled and not helping the kid's image. And I'm not anti-JV; count me in the apathetic "who cares I want the season to start now" camp. I say NJ. The train point makes sense (especially after the Detroit rejection). I think their forwards are underrated. Schneider obviously. And why the hell are they being considered if there wasn't something about the franchise and/or environment that he liked? Wants to be close too mommy so maybe he prefers the quiet, coddled experience of an empty Prudential Arena (just kidding...sort of). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Run DMC, Jerry Ferrara, Muhammad Wilkerson, Justin Tuck and Boomer Esiason all tweeted at Vesey. And ESPN's Linda Cohn... It wasn't just a bunch of fans. They got some big names to the task.
