I understand those who feel he's destined for Toronto or Boston.
But does a young free agent really want to go to Toronto. Sure, his dad works for the Leafs and his brother is a prospect, but Toronto is still a tire fire right now. Do they currently have any high end veteran forwards outside of Kadri and JVR? Nylander's great, but he wouldn't have the type of impact on Vesey that so many of our veteran fowards would (Toews, Hossa, Kane).
And Boston is obviously his hometown team. Bruins will have a spot open after Eriksson walks. I'm sure he'd love to be playing at TD Gardens on a regular basis.
But the question he needs to ask is if he's a fit (style wise). If he says yes, it'd be stupid to turn away that chance. But if he doesn't think they play a similar structure, he'd be smart to look elsewhere.
I think Hawks are the least likely to get him (out of the three). But I also think he's at least somewhat interested in us. And if he's at all interested, than Bowman should be able to at least get in a meeting with the kid and try to persuade him.
