Vesey has shown up for games against Boston clutch two years in a row. He's been okay this season. Hasn't been producing too much. I think there's something there. It's not that he's doing things wrong but just not doing them right, yet.
He considers himself a scorer as per that post game interview. I think he needs to find his way to around the net like the last game cus his skill isn't good enough at the NHL level for him to score 20 doing what Buchnevich does for example.
This might be an important year for him to figure out what works best for him.
Vesey is a guy with no part of his game that really stands out, so he needs to get by on his work ethic. Every now and again we see it, but he gets into ruts where he kinda just coasts. He is not talented enough to just coast. I'm worried that its a by product of spending too much time with Hayes, who is more physically gifted, and more offensively creative than Vesey. Not a good example to follow. Though he could also use a reality check, Hayes physical stature affords him a much larger margin of error.
Fast is also a guy with nothing special about him. He however works like a demon and is always in the right place. THATs who Vesey should be modeling his game after.
I'm not ready to give up on Vesey either. When he plays with confidence, it shows. After his two goals he was all over the ice stealing pucks and making plays. He just needs to learn to internally manufacture that kind of confidence more consistently. Not only after he gets a few lucky tap in goals.
There are plenty of players that have had very successful NHL careers whose abilities are nothing special. Hopefully Vesey can find out how to be one of these players.
