Vesey scoring 10-15 seems like a reasonable guess. He's got the pedigree but is totally unknown at the NHL level so he could bust for all we know. I doubt he will, though.

I would like Jim Benning to have a change of heart over this whole "hockey" thing, move to Tibet and become a monk.

Edit: You know I probably shouldn't joke because the Edmonton Oilers did trade an all star scoring winner for a crappy defenseman so who loving knows

“I was glad to see the caller ID and see the Boston number, so I hurried to answer it, and when he said, ‘Hi, it’s Jimmy Vesey and I’ve made my decision and I’d like to come to New York’ I probably swore. I’m not sure exactly what I did, but I probably had a pretty exciting comeback for him. Probably can’t say it in public.”

Apparently Chris Drury had a big part in convincing Vesey so way to go Chris.

Also I guess the Rangers as part of their promotional video had Liam Neeson record a bit about how if Vesey didn't join the Rangers he "will find you".

Rangers are making threats to recruit now. That has to be a violation, will Gary do nothing?

he was really good in the wjc when he was in it with a lot of other guys who panned out really well, which means nothing, but i will willingly take it to mean that he is very good and will be very good immediately

Same. I have no clue about the kid other than he did have a good season in college hockey and he is supposedly good at hockey. But when did one of these college free agents who go the UFA route turn out to be as good as advertised? This hype must be due to it being August, the worst hockey month.

I never thought of hockey teams having promotional videos to try to recruit players. Now I want to see them.

"The New York Rangers: I'MWALKINHEAH"

"The New York Islanders: Come for the new building. Stay for the next new building and maybe cameos at the older building!"

"The Columbus Blue Jackets: Only one losing season since 2011-12! Maybe this is the year?"

"The Pittsburgh Penguins: Yins better perform or our fans will lose their poo poo and we'll fleece you to some other team with impunity."
