matter2003 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Vesey is not a bad player...he can probably get 20 goals here...we need scoring depth in the worst way so this definitely hekps with that. 1 Quote
GASabresIUFAN Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 In his three NHL seasons, Vesey has 16, 17 and 17 goals playing with centers such as Namestnikov or Strome. Not exactly Eichel or even the upside of Mittelstadt or even a playmaker of Reinhart’s class. I think he’ll score 20+ with Mitts. If he plays with Jack or Sam he will score 25 and maybe 30. Jbot was serious about finding more scorers for this team and Vesey is a goal scorer. He isn’t Skinner, but we also aren’t paying him $9 mill to be Skinner. 2 Quote

Thorny Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 https://frozenpool.dobbersports.com/players/jimmy-vesey Interesting, it looks like Vesey has played basically no LW the last two seasons. Did Botterill make it seem like he'd play LW here? Seeing as he's played almost entirely right wing, I do think he could be Botterill's answer to our top-6 RW need. Quote

If he plays with Mitts next season they'll get caved defensively. Caved. 1 Quote
pi2000 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 IMHO, Vesey is still a little bitch, I hope he gets booed on home ice. I'll probably change the channel every time he steps on the ice. 2 2 Quote
Thorny Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Rather than playing Vesey in a top 6 role, I'd rather accept we didn't get our true top 6 wing addition and see something like: Skinner - Eichel - Olofsson Mittelstadt - TRADE - Reinhart Sheary - Rodrigues - Vesey It's still totally salvageable IF we get that TRADE done in a very real way. 1 Quote

pi2000 Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 can we all agree to stop calling him Jimmy? from now it's James "little bitch" Vesey.... JLBV Quote

Show him we don’t soon forget the ***** he pulled but then show him how we treat our own. 1 Quote

#freejame Posted July 1, 2019 Report Posted July 1, 2019 Anyone who is still upset about JV is softer than puppy fur. They should truly be embarrassed and re-evaluate their life. They obviously have a difficult time dealing with emotions. 2 1 2 Quote

He was pretty clear about his intentions in Nashville before the trade and simply stayed the course. 6 Quote

He was going to test all the teams as a free agent whether or not GMTM traded for his "rights". What am I missing? Quote

Thorny Posted July 2, 2019 Report Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) On that note, if JB believes in this guy, shouldn't he re-sign him this summer? Playing him with say Eichel all year and bumping up his value before his UFA pay day seems a little short-sighted. Couldn't sign Skinner right away I guess, but I'd rather not let Jack do similar with Jimmy as he did with Jeff and Sam, if I had my say. Low-risk Skinner trade, paid big later Low-risk Reinhart bridge, paying big later Low-risk Vesey add, ? Edited July 2, 2019 by Thorny Quote
