Waived: Jimmy Vesey - Claimed by Canucks

[The Man with a Plan]

Not if they are good GM's and not Board posters.

That guy is out to lunch. Dubas isn't going to blink let alone hold a grudge because someone claimed one of his "toys" What an odd way to speak about someone who is a professional and is doing a job most of us would kill to have.

I remember when some here were more excited of his signing over Simmonds.

Not a good look.

 

[ToneDog]

Hope he enjoyed his cup of coffee in T.O.

Gone, but not forgotten?

No.

Gone, and likely forgotten?

Yes.

The positive here is that Galchenyuk will get his shot. I really think we're going to like what he brings.

Bold prediction: Galch sticks on Tavares' wing, and scores at a 30 goal pace the rest of the way.

No.

Yes.

Who are you taking about?

 

[saltming]

Not a good look.

I Remeber some posts agreeing that if we got him Nylander would be expendable

Great!

 

[ACC1224]

Was worth a shot, no great loss.
Still don’t get the Lehtonen move

 

[Antropovsky]

Finally something good happens to this team

 

[SeaOfBlue]

I think he was claimed by Vancouver to flip at the deadline for a 4th or 5th round pick.
He'd be an upgrade at a palatable cap hit (pending UFA too ) for a team with a weak bottom 6 that needs someone who isnt a glaring liability.

Then why wouldn't the Leafs just move him to said team for a 4th or 5th round pick right now? Unless Vesey gets significantly better or a team suddenly suffers a bunch of injuries and has a huge need, I am fairly sure the Leafs would have just moved him themselves.

Good 4th liner/taxi squad player wasn't getting enough reps here, oh well.
For all the people complaining about him, Vesey was pacing for 14 goals per 82...

When I think of Gally I always remember what my good buddy Habs super fan always says ... he is kinda like one of those guys who you don't even notice on ice for games on end until he makes a highlight reel play or gives up a puck for a goal against ... either way then you will notice him good or terrible ... but bottom line he does not bring it enough to keep him around ... for me we don't need guys like that who only bring it once every 7 games and even then it could be a terrible result ... don't see him lasting more than a game or two here

 

[Its not your fault]

Looking forward to a new forward.

 

[Its not your fault]

Then talk about it in that tread?

Was worth a shot, no great loss.
Still don’t get the Lehtonen move

Only on the 4th line and on the edge of 4th and 5th

 

[Teeder Keon]

Who are you taking about?

I think Shore lol
Or his twin , Vesey

 

[Carltons Cup]

You all know Vesey's gonna get a hatty next time he plays us.

It's Leaf karma.....

 

[saltming]

I think Shore lol

Oh I thought it was frank Corrado hahahaha

Who?

I remember all the hype with Vesey when he first arrived in the NHL.

The word "sweepstakes" was even used.

The same with that goalie. O'Connor.

So many of these hyped NCAA stars never turn out to much.

Doesn't everyone remember this overwhelming sentiment?

"I hope they sign Vesey, then they can trade Nylander!"

Good times....

Sounds like a majority of the current team

 

[The Man with a Plan]

Another plus.

Could you imagine if the Leafs end up somehow facing the Habs in the playoffs.

Chucky gets the series winning goal. HFB meltdown ensures.
Start popcorn and Enjoy

I think he'll score at less than 15 goal pace.

I'm not sure why everyone's so excited about him

 

[cupcrazyman]

He’d probably play top line in Ottawa like our other scraps. Connor Brown, Zaitsev is playing top pairing I believe.

How is that working out ?
