Confirmed with Link: Jimmy Vesey traded to Buffalo Sabres (3rd Round Pick in 2021)

[Kovalev27]

Guys I’ve been saying it and saying it while others have shot it down but no one NO ONE if the money is even remotely similar goes and plays for the JV when the VARSITY is calling

 

[AKA Chief]

Done to get Panarin, I'm sure...but in a vacuum, I don't like it. Players with size and some snarl and scoring are hard to find and I still think Vesey can develop in those areas to the point where he'd be a useful player on a winning team. And he was cheap and only signed for this season.

If the Rangers don't acquire Panarin, this was a stupid move.

 

[Jaromir Jagr]

Vesey was garbage, glad to see him go. Also, a stuck up, no personality *******.

Yikes. Sounds like he banged your girlfriend or something.

I thought Vesey was fine. But am happy we got an asset for him and prefer a kid to take his spot.

 

[Kovalev27]

All signs are pointing toward the NYR landing Artemi Panarin.

Darren Dreger

Boom

The Islanders were significantly better than the Rangers last year. This is such an arrogant take.

 

[Kovalev27]

Yesterday it looked like NYI. Now? NYR

And it’s reality my friend. Like it or not

No one picks the islanders on purpose over the Rangers. I know you don’t like me saying it like I have but you know deep down I’ve been right on this all along

 

[Riche16]

Thought a 2nd for him... I guess we’re signing the bread

 

[Kovalev27]

Belief is Panarin left money on the table. New York rangers are always an attractive draw.

Dreger


Like I’ve said was going to happen

 

[DutchNYR]

Wow, some really salty posts in this thread. Not one of my favourite players, but I honestly don’t understand the hatred towards him. Good luck, Jimmy boy.

Because you basically spit in everyone's face to argue that you were right. There are like, a thousand other people on this board who say the same thing as you. It's not some novel take.

Never understood it either. Am I missing something ? Didn’t the guy choose to come play for the Rangers when other teams came calling? Ok he wasn’t a 30 plus goal scoring sniper but still

A 3rd round but 2 years away. Seems a bit low, just a bit.

2021?! :/

I spit in everyone’s face bashing the islanders? You should take a break and hydrate you are salty AF right now lol

 

[Savant]

It's a cap dump . Nothing to see here

 

[Mikos87]

Very happy with this trade. You remove a guy who hasn't showed up for more than half the games for the last 3 years.

Best of luck Jimmy. Hope you cash in while in Buffalo.

Wish you well, but he's not a guy I want on the team.

Not enough character & compete.

 

[Good Intentions]

Off to SUNY Buffalo for your junior year, Jimmy!

From the start, it was never a fit. Objectively, Sabres seem to be a really solid fit for him.

Good riddance, punk.

 

[Edge]

Nice to see that deal finally completed. It existed in various forms and incarnations since May.

 

[Miamipuck]

The return is meh squared not sure why anyone is happy with that. A 3rd two years from now is at least a round worse than a more current pick.

Whatever Vesey wasn't as bad as some people make him out to be.

Also teams are going to see the Rangers need to unload salary, I am not sure the deals are going to be so great. If I was an opposing GM I would take advantage of the opportunity here.

no GM has used cap crunches against any other team so why would it hurt us?

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but trading him to Buffalo, the team that acquired his rights and he refused to sign with, is pure karma. I love it

 

[Bleed Ranger Blue]

Vesey, who was expendable in the first place, became even more expendable as the Rangers continue to stockpile wingers much better than him

We got Trouba so cheap out of the goodness in Chevy's heart.?
