Re: [Rumor] Jimmy Vesey to go UFA, then sign with Leafs?
I wouldn’t say they invested anything more in him than the pick itself, and it was a 3rd rounder. It’s funny that 3rd rounder was originally Toronto’s anyways lol (part of the Bernier trade I think {Preds got it Via LAL}).
There was only 1 forward in that round that is close to an NHL job and it’s Leipsic. I don’t think they were planning on drafting D, or a goalie that “early” in the draft.
They took a shot at him, and I’m pretty sure it was known he was planning on staying in college for 4yrs, and it missed. Then they didn’t do enough to make him want to sign. It happens. It’s not like it was a guy they had in their minors playing for 3 yrs developing into this top 6 guy and he just says Nah he’s not signing with them. It was just a draft pick in my eyes. He didn’t even count on the 50man roster.
