Jimmy Vesey “Zeroed In” On Devils, Blackhawks

August 13, 2016 at 3:30 pm CDT | by Bill Morran 3 Comments

ESPN New Hampshire’s Jimmy Murphy tweets today that pending UFA Jimmy Vesey has “zeroed in” on the Chicago Blackhawks and the New Jersey Devils as potential landing spots. This comes after previous reports suggested Vesey had interest in the Boston Bruins and Toronto Maple Leafs.

Vesey, 23, was drafted in the third round of the 2011 draft by the Nashville Predators. After refusing to sign with the Predators this year, his rights were traded to the Buffalo Sabres for a third round pick in this year’s draft. While Vesey has refused to rule out signing with the Sabres, his agent has expressed his preference to reach free agency. He has also spent much of his off-season skating with Sabres forward Jack Eichel. We also know that Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman has spent time in Massachusetts watching Vesey play.

Vesey has spent the last four years playing left wing for Harvard University. Last year he scored 24 goals, 46 points, in just 33 games. Perhaps more impressively, he previously scored 32 goals, 58 points in 37 games for the Crimson in 2015. Vesey is free to sign with the Sabres, who hold his rights, at any point. He may begin to negotiate or sign with other teams on Monday, August 15th.

    The Hawks and Chicago make other choice seem pathetic.

    Feeling obligated to someone helpful along the way should not create obligation to change pro career choice.

    Pay tribute in some other way if that is a consideration.

    If not our Bruins, Blackhawks a great choice.

    While none of my business, comments were sought.

    Good luck with whatever team you play on as an NHL forward.

    Always my dream.

    Got as far as being part of a Beanpot champinship in 1969.

    ( Thank you Joe Cavanagh ! )

      He also has ties to Shero & Hynes + Kerfoot, whom Vesey played with for a good while is a Devils prospect.
