Jimmy Vesey (going to the Rangers)

[clydesdale line]

Let's hope the Hawks win the cup this year now.

 

[SAADfather]

Hudler plz

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Let's hope the Hawks win the cup this year now.

And against the Rangers.

Though that'd be entirely to spite Hayes. I got nothing against a kid that wasn't beholden to us choosing to go somewhere else.

 

[BobbyJet]

Cue the "he's gonna suck, anyway" tweets/posts, etc from fans of non-NYR fan bases that 10 mins ago were "yeah we want Vesey!"

He wouldn't have even cracked our roster anyway!

But eh, oh well. Disappointed we didn't land him, as he was a zero risk, high reward guy for two years, aka exactly what we need, but don't think anyone was making the claim that he was the make or break guy for our team for a deep playoff run.

Probably would've been better off with him, but not disasterous without him. And hey, he spurned a Central rival in the process, so did us at least one favor.

With no Vesey, do you guys feel that Motte is now the favorite for the LW spot on the Toews line? I have him in a keeper league, would love to see him get that shot.

The truth is, Hawks need a power forward and Vesey seemed a great fit. I call it the Hayes curse.

 

[The Toews Era*]

Kayes is the worst

 

[ClydeLee]

Ah yes the ole hayes troubles. Or how Steeger and signing Richards helped that 2nd line work to legit win a cup.

the twitter folks antagonizing with rage forwarded through Hawks writers is funny

 

[migi]

Funny to think that we could have both K. Hayes and Vesey in our line-up right now, playing together.

I don't mind this, but a bit dissappointed. Just a bit, more glad that saga is now over.

 

[BK]

Oh well. Time to sign Hudler and move on.

No performance bonuses to worry about.

Can't wait to see how some village idiots react and blam Stan!

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Hayes tweet. I cant stand that guy and find it annoying they had a photoshopped pic ready to go when people been waiting days.

No we couldnt because his brother/friends were too garbage to play for the Hawks. He's more worried about that than winning or maximizing earnings potential.

Perhaps ... but it is puzzling if this was indeed a hockey decision, which I don't believe for a second.

 

[piteus]

Darn. The village lives. Good effort. Oh well ... on to the next target.

 

[Toews2Bickell]

Trade pokka for a vesey comp. Use the 2.3m in space to add another fwd. Stan will figure it out.

 

[JustABlackhawksFan]

Whatever. Would have been nice to get him, but oh well.

When it comes to 23-year-old free agent pickups, Panarin >>>>>>>>>>>> Vesey.

Now to focus on rounding out the roster and also locking down Panarin.

 

[ndgt10]

He gone, gas!

He signed with a team that is on the down turn but has his best friend. Obviously NYC has some appeal but if this was based on hockey he signs with the Hawks or even Buff.

I think people will be surprised with Motte and Schmaltz.

Hudler would be a good signing for the Hawks as well.

Trade a top 4 d for a 30-40 point player?

 

[JaegerDice]

Ah well.

Get Hudler signed, pronto.

 

[BobbyJet]

Hudler plz

Hudler is not the PF we need. If Stan can't get something done, I can see Hossa staying in the top 6 with Toews and a rookie.

 

[Salvaged Ship]

Ah well.

Get Hudler signed, pronto.

Agree. If we want to contend we cant just count on a bunch of rookies, there are too many spots. Hudler consistenty puts the puck in the net, we need help.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Well this was disappointing

Must say Stanley's failure to find a quality top 9 LW looks brutal at this point

Hawks appear set to be a one line team once again sadly

 

[JaegerDice]

Hudler is not the PF we need. If Stan can't get something done, I can see Hossa staying in the top 6 with Toews and a rookie.

Hudler is a season removed from scoring 30 goals alongside mini-Toews and mini-Kane in Calgary. He'd fit fine, and he'd likely come cheap.

The Blackhawks need top-six production. Whether that comes from a power forward a la Saad or a pure sniper a la Sharp (or Hudler, the poor man's Sharp) doesn't really matter. The means isn't as important as the result.

 

[CallMeShaft]

I hate Kevin Hayes. I hate Kevin Hayes. I hate Kevin Hayes....

Actually they look like a 2 line team. Nice try though.

LOL you resting an entire season on some 23 year old college LW. It's not that big of a deal man. Stinks that Hayes stings us again, but other than that, oh well.
