How s? He has stated he wants to get his degree from one of the most prestigious universities in the world and that's suspect? He has come to camp on his own dime, that's suspect?
If the same person says the same thing to you on different occasions and you buy in to it each time, after a while it's on you but you have to take each person on their own merit. You cannot lump him in the Suter camp at all because what has he done to deserve that? Sure, Suter said he was going to sign here and didn't. He was a snake. We hate him for it. Last week, Ribeiro could've signed elsewhere but he said he wanted to be here and he's here.
There is no way of knowing any person's character unless you're with them constantly and even then, you just never know. What if something changes in his life with him, his family, his friends, whatever and he decides not to sign here, do we sit and hold a grudge against the kid? I guess I shouldn't a grudge against Suter for wanting to be closer to his home and his wife's family as well but I know in November of his last season he had agreed on a deal with Poile and he screwed him over, that's different IMO because you've agreed to it and didn't put your signature on it. Vesey doesn't owe the Preds anything at this point. His dad played in the NHL. If he's an old school sort of guy and he's true to what he's saying, he'll end up here at the end of the day. A lot of these kids are humble but also very impressionable. If he has good people around him, they'll look at Nashville as a great place for a young kid like himself to be. Come on, if Fiala pans out and we have Forsberg and you add a talent like him to the lineup with the D-corp the way it is, you want to walk in to a winning situation and team for a long run, this is the place to come to.
