Re: [Rumor] Jimmy Vesey to go UFA, then sign with Leafs?
Ya, there is no hostility on my part either, more confusion than anything.
I completely get the whole idea of picking your team and good for him for doing it; that's his option and choice to make. It's just strange that he doesn't see the benefits of signing with Nashville out of the gate. I dont know, maybe he's getting bad advice somewhere.
And it's not completely true that Nashville had four years to sign him. Yes, they have held his right after drafting him but his choice was to go to college and as long as he's playign hockey in the NCAA, Nashville cannot sign him. We all know that the CBA is different for US College students vs the players drafted out of the CHL. They can be signed and then go back to playing hockey. Vesey was obviously intent on his schooling and you sure cant fault a kid for that. It just sucks for Nashville, who were obviously invested in the kid.
Either way, the Predators hold his rights until August 15th. After that, it's all in Vesey's hands.
