I still have some hope that he’s going to put it all together, but he has had stretches like this one in both of his first seasons too. I’m hesitant to say this is what Vesey is now.

Over a quarter done with the season and Vesey is 5th in points, and 2nd in goals on the team.
This is the guy a handful of posters wanted no part of and said he should be the healthy scratch (PB).
Also with the majority of posters saying 2.2M was an overpayment...

Gotta say, I didn’t expect this from Vesey
He’s really solidifed himself as a real solid middle 6 forward
Nice to see

66th overall and drafted by Nashville, but they refuse to sign him so somehow he ended up in New York.
Rangers signed him in the 2016-17 season is mainly based on our cup runs and Glen Sather sold off draft picks so they did not had the luxery to build their own team in the draft like Nashville at the time @The Crypto Guy
Besides on a good depth team in this league he is a good 4th line player in my view, but he have a good start of this season no doubts about that, and I don`t really know why both AV & Quinn over use him, and like the game vs Islanders he had 17 min ice time! Imagine how many pts he could have if he scored on his chances when the coach use him in a top 6 role as Quinn did beginning of this season.
So a brief explanation his skillset is very limited to be honest.

That's really doesn't describe what happened with Vesey in Nashville very well.

Not at all what happened haha. You're right.
He refused to sign in Nashville, so they traded his rights to Buffalo. He refused to sign in Buffalo, and then hit FA

Vesey refused to sign, not vice-versa.

The Predators wanted to sign him, and drafted him, because they thought he had top six potential. And here he is, in the top six, and second in goals on the team.

I think Ori mixed Vesey up with Gilmour, who was drafted by Calgary and then wasn't offered a contract

Say what you want, Vesey can forecheck as well as anyone on this team. That post we just hit was all because of Jimmy V's pressure.
Do you know why Vesey refuse to sign in Nashville?
Yes he was projected to be a top 6 player back in 2012, but it seems he was almost forgotten in Nashville player management at the time so he went to the open market.
2016-17 GP 80 27 pts
2017-18 GP 79 28 pts
24 GP 12 pts is a good start with that production in previous seasons, but it`s not a top 6 potential player.

Which is why he is not being paid top 6 money.Hes a bottom 6 player who provides good offense down in the lineup,who can also slide into the top 6 when needed.

Again, that's not accurate.
Nashville was very interested in him. They talked to him lots. He wanted to go to free agency.

Nashville wanted Vesey. He didn't want Nashville so they traded him.
Buffalo wanted Vesey. He didn't want Buffalo and if I'm not mistaken THEY tried to trade him.
He got to UFA and the Rangers were fortunate to get a free asset and for all his warts, is a nice 3rd liner.
No player is perfect, hes got some issues, but if you get past all the bullspit that came with him from not signing with two teams and get past what he did in college, you will recognize that we have a nice asset.
He takes up a small % of the cap and will add 15-20 goals to go along with 30-40 points.
Not bad at all

I can't see how he finishes out his contract here. He's a UFA at the end of next season and while his contract won't be anything outrageous, I think he'd get offers beyond what the Rangers would really want to spend, especially as they should have a prospect or two pushing for his spot and his $$ could be better spent upgrading the roster elsewhere.
The fact that he's scoring and using his body a bit more should make him a relatively attractive depth piece for a team looking to make a playoff run

Nashville definitely tried to sign him. They even tried to say Vesey mislead them about wanting to sign there, causing them to not get another forward at the deadline.
Buffalo did indeed trade for him.
A smart GM would trade anyone if a good offer was on the table, so I'm not sure what your point is.

value is higher than it has ever been, and will likely not get any higher given his age and contract.
yes 25 is young, but there is value in still having perceived peak years ahead of you.
Trade him at the deadline and try to fleece a desperate GM into overpaying

Need more than that. 25, he's on pace for a 20G/40P season (currently), and has year left of team control for cheap after this. Need more than a 4th. A 4th doesn't have much value. Vesey has more value to us as being cheap, controlled, a relative veteran, and fairly productive.
