Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
This could be a steal for Buffalo. But I think the Rangers trade the pick for a star in order to contend.
Confirmed Trade: [NYR/BUF] Jimmy Vesey for a 2021 3rd round pick

Not really. His name became a thing because he didn't want to sign with Nashville. Then didn't sign with Buffalo. Those who watched Vesey in Harvard knew he wouldn't be a great top-6 player.

So he's better than people that dont play in the NHL that's fantastic. You sure showed him.

He never signed with Boston. He was born there but never had any ties to the Bruins.
For a third we got a legitimate bottom-six winger. I’ll take it. He’s not lived up to the hype he got that summer a few years ago but he’s been a pretty consistent third-line type and the Sabres’ bottom six was atrocious. He’ll help and he can really play on any line. Adding about 17 goals per season isn’t bad for the price. Buffalo has no secondary scoring and he can help there. He’s similar to Sheary but overall better and I think he still can hit 20 goals in the NHL. I’d like to see what he can do with Eichel or Mittelstadt. Not enough Sabres went to the net last year so he’ll help in a lot of areas.
Not a blockbuster but a solid acquisition by Buffalo and a decent return for the Rangers for a player that wasn’t in their plans anymore. Good trade for both, although I never thought I’d see the day Jimmy Vesey would step foot on the ice for the Sabres after that whole attempt we threw at him the first time. This comes after TWO Buffalo GMs traded for him. I’m happy to have him now.
Buffalo has made a couple solid moves recently in Miller and JV, I don't think it is enough but it is a start
Vesey is fine if he's the 6th best guy in your top six and can ride the coattails of better players. In that role 20 goals isn't out of the question. He's just incredibly streaky and inconsistent.

Hes going to leave you wanting/expecting more.
That said, hes not a bad player and will get you the 30-35 points.
There will be many nights where you wonder if he is dressed

Honestly, "unnoticeable" would be an improvement over some of our starters.

Probably not. The immature rarely regret anything. JV is probably trying to figure out which northeastern US team he is going to after his contract is up with the Sabres. Let's see, the Devils (how ironic), the Pens had a down year for them... The Flyers are probably out because they play a physical game.
Good luck Buffalo!
And has a Harvard degree, which is a bigger accomplishment than what 99% of people on HF have ever accomplished
Vesey plays a hard nosed game and isn't afraid of physicality at all. Swing and a miss

I've come around on this... I like it as long as it's not our only forward addition this summer. The Sabres have a couple good defensive players in their bottom six (Larsson, Girgensons). What they really lacked this past season was any offense whatsoever from the bottom six. Vesey should be able to help with that, and you can move him or Sheary up and down the lineup based on who's going or not.

Vesey averages less than a hit per game. He goes to the net, which is nice, but he's not a physical player.
Sadly, we have a lot of experience with that phenomenon.
We just went through a season with half a dozen players upfront that fit the description in your post plus or minus ( OK minus ) 10-15 points.Giving up a 3rd round pick for a guy who should score 15-20 goals doesn't seem like an awful idea
That is comical for a guy who is a third line NHL player, a liar and a mercenary. I don't think that many posters on HF are jealous of him and everything that he has accomplished with that Harvard degree.
