All about wherever he wants to play at this point, but I'd be all for making a move for him to play a handful of games at the end of this season and then have a roster spot for him next season if things work out.
Not holding my breath, though. We certainly won't be the only team that'd be interested in him and, quite frankly, we'd probably be one of the hardest teams to elicit a guaranteed roster spot out of, too.

I'd actually think he would have a good chance of making this roster next year if he signed. For top 6 LW's we have Panarin and.....nothing. All we have in terms of LW prospects are bottom 6ers, college prospects, and RWs forced to play the left side.
Plus we're a cup contender most years.

He would have an opportunity to compete for a top-six spot on a team that could have four Cups in seven seasons. It's there if he wants it.
If he's that good, just send him a video of Saad and news clip of the second contract he signed with Columbus. Playing with Toews and either TT or Hossa will be beneficial for his wallet. Additionally, he could play in every Winter Classics going forward ... ever. If that's not enough, he be an immediate nominee for the exclusive Q's Country Club. We could also offer free puppies, hot dogs, and an all expense trip to Machu Picchu.
Why would he want to play in a basketball city; be irrelevant; and never get to play in a Winter Classic? We had Jimmy Hayes in our system and Kevin still refused to sign.
Plus, I just want to witness another Toronto meltdown. It would be epic.

This meme was really funny at 1st. Beating it into the ground much?
I'd actually like to spread it on the main board ... but if you make one harmless sarcastic remark about their cherished Leafs, they're up in arms.
I once suggested that the Maple Leafs consider relocating to Chicago since they were so desperate to host the Winter Classic. They didn't take it too kindly.

I think so. That's why I said he's not the option for this season, but with our cap issues and need at LW I like him as an option obviously for next year.
Like others have said...most if not all 30 teams should offer this guy a contract. He should have every chance to be a top 6 forward on the Hawks though and that could very well appeal to him ala Panarin.

Thank you Elon!
every team is going after this kid, and according to Vesey Nashville is still in the mix (which I don't believe at all).
he is in the top 10 prospects in the world right now, can step right in and play a top 6 role out the gate. we would be blessed to snag this kid and we have room in the top 6 for him so maybe we have a shot here. didn't work out so well with Mike Reilly who spurned us to go to Minny, but Vesey is a smart kid and I will bet anything Toronto is not a destination for him....way too much pressure to play in that circus show for a rookie to step into.

I think its ridiculous to write off Toronto but if they were out of the picture then the Hawks are the clear destination unless something weird happens and we have Panarin and Boedker/JVR locked up for years at that point (which I don't see happening).
He also isn't another Panarin though. Panarin was a finished product coming here. He's still a prospect.
Well he cannot be in playoffs this season...He could be a top six for any team out of the gate next season...BUT there are ramifications ..if we landed Vesey.it probably means Motte stays for his Senior year and pulls a K.Hayes/Vesey on us in the summer of 2017 ....Since both top six LW spits with us will be filled ...unless we promise him a top line RW spot as we put Hossa out to pasture via tge expansion draft or if no expansion drop Hossa to 3rd line by 2017 summer...OR ..
If we land Vesey and then promise Motte the RW job if he leaves Michigan in simmer 2016...then our 1st line would be Vesey Toews and Motte...serious scoring from line #1 ..so do it Stan do it! Of course we would only get a 2 yr cheap return on Vesey and a 3 year ELC on Motte from summer of 2016...but we can hope that over that time there is expansion in 2017 or 2018 ...we shall need to dump Hossa and Seabrook by then to gain cap room ...to keep our stable of top forward talent with these 2 plus Panarin...and so tge plum of starting next year immediately with Toews should be a good incentive for vesey and if he joins then fir Motte to leave early and join too..We should be down lining Hossa next year anyway ...Then we need to stagger it so that Schmaltz does not come out early next summer but stays at least through his junior year to be our 3C by 2017 unless he has top six aspirations elsewhere ...

I think motte signs this year along with Hayden and Forsling and schmaltz. in regard to Vesey. I don't think anybody thinks Motte is ready as a top paring guy, Vesey is 22 months older then Motte. That would mean he would need to stay one more year making no money and probably not being able to work on his game as much. Plus a Harvard degree means more then MICH. and going back and paying to finish is much easier at Mich.

The length of the entry-level contract is also dependent on the player’s age: •18-21 years of age: 3 years
•22-23 years of age: 2 years
•24 years of age: 1 year
now in a year and 1/2 aug 2017 he would only have to sign a 2 year compared to a 3 year.

Michigan while ranked below Harvard is still a top ranked university. So actually it all depends on the degree to decide which has more value. Going back and finishing either school is the same difficulty. Michigan is actually fighting grade inflation harder than Harvard is from my knowledge (friend who went Harvard and family at Michigan).
I could see Motte staying if the Hawks want him to or him seeing the Hawks are signing Schmaltz. There is room for both but Schmaltz seems to be the more likely player to make the jump at this point to the NHL. Motte would need to spend a year in the AHL which is fine.
Fiddy - if the potential Vesey (rookie) - Toews - Motte (rookie) is our #1 scoring line next year, the Hawks are either in trouble OR the greatest team ever. I'll bet the former.
The Toronto fans expect / hope Vesey signs with the Maple Leafs. I can make ONE GUARANTEE: if the Hawks somehow sign Vesey, the main board will flip. Dumpsters, garbage cans, and couches will be set on fire. Wild unruly abandoned dogs would come to roam. Old unkept women would lament about the cheating Hawks. It would be quite a sight ... in Toronto.

Tyler is from Michigan so his tuition would be .25 of Harvard and big difference from a school rated #30 and #1 or #2

Not really. Some Michigan degrees are better than Harvard ones.
Harvard cost. http://https://college.harvard.edu/financial-aid/how-aid-works/cost-attendance
Michigan cost. (remember to take x2) http://www.ro.umich.edu/tuition/tuition-fees.php#fullterm

The only way it would be cheap like you think would be if he maintained residency in MI but he would be in Rockford for 2 years so I doubt he would.
