Lol, and people wonder why Western New Yorkers hate NYC? New Jersey is more a part of the state of New York than we are to most people.
Obviously....the confusion is from what did that tweet mean. Devils are always considered to be 3 of the NY metro teams. Many reporters say this all the time. But does this particular tweet refer to just NY State teams or the 3 NYC area teams? Thats the question. Devils arena is literally a couple miles from the city.

If he had said NYC, I would definitely agree with you.
But he just said NY, so it's kind of ambiguous.
There are three teams in NY State.

Use your context clues.
He wanted to stay close to home so it's between the 3 NY teams. Why would that mean Buffalo, which is nowhere close to NYC?

NJ is a NYC team, and I guarantee that's what he meant. You can travel from Barclays to MSG to Prudential without ever stepping outdoors, just transferring trains. I live in the Bronx, and it's easier for me to go to Devils games than it is to visit parts of Brooklyn.
I can see where Buffalo fans would feel slighted if they thought Newark was a meaningfully different place and NYers were just ignoring WNY on purpose. But it's really not.
By the way , Vesey also recently signed an endorsement deal with Warrior.
Only fitting they should meet at the Bruins brand new Warrior Arena I guess.

Pretty much exactly how I took it. But if the Hawks knock his socks off in the meeting maybe they could still make it happen. I doubt they can, but they are a team you meet with and his agent can probably reason with him if you go to them and knock it out of the park they will have to let you go where you want eventually anyway with bigger numbers behind it because they will likely bump your production on the ELC. I would still be surprised if he doesn't wind up on the East Coast or Toronto.

That has to make Bs fans tingle a little. Sabres had to fly to BOS to make their pitch (though he was at the draft in BUF and presumably saw HarborCenter, which is their equivalent).

Should have a NHL career for a while even if it is as a bottom six guy. To people that believe in over-hype I guess he could be qualified as a bust if he does that. But hard to believe that Vesey won't carve out a decent length career, he is a smart hockey player and good skater even if his scoring doesn't translate.

Of course you wouldnt.
'upstate new york'
I find it ineresting since it hasnt opened yet and the team has yet to step foot in it and Warrior is the rink sponsor.

I don't know why Buffalo would trade for him even though he clearly said he was going to test free agency.

Just interesting.
As well as your seeming faith in Murphy. You wont read much in the new rink/Warrior thing yet you seem to read something in Murphy.

To romance him for a month before anyone else. To 'get to the front of the line' to quote Tim Murray. Remember BUF has historically had a hard time attracting UFAs, so the now get very creative with courting these players.
The made a pitch face-to-face at the beginning, then they followed that up the past week to reinforce that meeting. Fish said as recent as a few days ago, that BUF was still very much on his short list, and that his experience with Bylsa and Murray was 'very positive'. That took place in the calm of RFA, not during a mad ****-storm of teams swarming him.
They made their pitch and are standing back. They've staying in the conversation this long. That alone was worth the 3rd rounder.

WNY is not upstate NY.
Western New York is just that, Western New York.
Upstate New York is considered anything east of the Rochester area over to Albany and North.

What's interesting about it? You going to debase all my comments based on where I'm living currently? Grow up. I don't even live near Buffalo.
You're reaching about how much I believe in Murphy, but okay. I don't think he's that credible nor do I have a huge faith in him. I was merely making a comment about what he could have meant. Newark and the surrounding area is pretty much considered part of the NY metro area, so maybe there is traction there. Maybe he did mean NYR/NYI/BUF instead. But I'm leaning towards he meant NYR/NYI/NJD.
I seriously don't know what you're trying to go for here.
Calm down. I have t shirts older than you. So dont get personal kiddo.
I thought you were being quite dismissive of something out of hand. Warrior and the new arena.
yet citing somebody completely unreputable as something viable.
I found it a bit comical.
Considering hes not allowed here. For reasons I wont go into.
