Yeah -- I see he's listed as LW in some places, but he played RW for the Rangers last year. But yes, if he's LW -- he's behind Skinner and Olofsson, except Olofsson played RW in his callup last year to get top line fun. I treat wingers like TIE fighters --- just throw 'em wherever. But as a center, I fly in the middle of the formation... preferably within a trench.

Except, Olofsson played LW on the Eichel line.  Housley bumped Skinner off that li e, not Reinhart.

Everywhere has him listed as a winger in general. But I have no idea if he has actually played those positions in the pros

There was a tweet I had in year the other day from a Sabres reporter, Olofsson spent his entire time on the Amerks and in Europe at LW

Ach! My bad. I even looked back to give you the ol' "Darth knows best" and there it is... 3/28 L DET (OT) Olofsson - Eichel - Reinhart. So....  yeah, Vesey's a 3rd line LW on this roster.

Yep, a tad bit 

 

"Jimmy, they're asking for a quote.  Should I say you're 'ecstatic', 'excited', or 'very excited'?"

"Meh, say whatever you want; I'm never playing for them anyway.  You're pushing for another trade, right?"

Ha, you think they even bother to ask the player before making the comment?

I was actually hoping Mittelstadt might find some time on LW, but with Skinner, Olofsson, and Sheary looking to be filling up that side, I guess that may be unlikely and maybe Vesey is the one heading to the right side.

Are you and at least one other trying too hard? On the face of it, the Rangers gave him up for a bag of pucks. The whole offseason so far has been a trip down to the Dollar Store with gramma.

And if you're good you can pick out an off-brand candy bar at the checkout line.

Is my sarcasm detector broken, or... 

I just woke up and am mad at sports. I do sense Botterill has whiffed hard this offseason. If he trades Risto and doesn’t get an undeniable NHL forward he’s failed.
