Confirmed with Link: Sabres acquire W Jimmy Vesey for a 3rd round pick in 2021

[paulmm3]

Do not like this move. He's UFA in one year and a marginal player to begin with. Also do not like the continuing theme of Botterill trading away our mid to late round lottery tickets. It stinks of hubris

 

[Dreakon13]

If we still had Murray, this would make more sense. Not sure why Vesey is even on Botteril's radar.

That being said, I'm trying not to overthink it. He's just another depth option on a team with depth issues. Eventually one of these cheap middle 6 pickups have to stick right? Maybe Vesey ends up looking like another ERod?

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

Eh. For a 3rd round pick two years from now it’s fine. We’ll see what happens and can spin him at the deadline.

Potentially, he could be a good look on Mittelstadt's wing. If Casey can lug the mail and then get the puck to the net, Vesey's game is getting himself to higher danger scoring areas.

Why?

He isn’t that exciting of an addition. If not for the free agent college thing, this trade would’ve made zero waves.

He’s a player we traded for. I don’t think it goes much beyond that nor is it very remarkable they’re doing this.

This feels like an ego trip that shouldn't have crossed GMs.
May be excited about a nice contract next summer if he shows enough enthusiasm. We're so easily manipulated sometimes

Sell sell sell

You get a higher return on your investment in a huge draft class in 2020.

[VaporTrail]

meh, see what happens with him...if we are out of it as usual at the TDL maybe we can trade him and get something back

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Aka, you had no choice, you one trick pony.

 

[VaporTrail]

Rangers fans are ecstatic and happy that he's gone lol

 

[Buffaloed]

Botterill says he was involved in the "Vesey process" with Pittsburgh.

 

[TalkingProuder]

Great, when do the Vesey jerseys hit the shelves?

Great, when do the Vesey jerseys hit the shelves?

On Clearance Day.

On Clearance Day.

So the home opener?

 

[OkimLom]

If Vesey has a career year and has 25+ goals by the trade deadline, what do you do?

 

[Club]

Hopefully Ralph gets the best outta this guy!

Im excited!

 

[Uberpecker]

Definiton of meh. Price isn't awful, the fact that he's likely gonna occupy a top 6 spot, however, is.

It's interesting to see how opinions of the Murray trade for Vesey have "subtly" morphed in the last 12 hours.
