There have already been college signings too. Plus it's been more than a weekend. It's been his whole career!
Vesey isn't signing in nashville.
You make it sound like it's been weeks since his season ended. It's been something like two days. The link below pretty much tells us that Vesey and the Preds are about to enter discussions on contracts. We should know more by early next week. You can bet the Predators are in a hurry to get him in their lineup sooner rather than later.

"Nashville Predators representatives, including general manager David Poile, were in Worcester, Massachusetts, last night to watch Harvard's NCAA Tournament game against Boston College," the statement said. "Jimmy's exceptional college career came to a close as Harvard was eliminated from the NCAA Tournament.
"At some point over the next several days, David and Predators hockey personnel plan to meet with Jimmy, his family and his representatives to discuss and reinforce his opportunities to begin his NHL career with the Predators in the immediate future."

Vesey isn't dumb and knows there are options for him (unlike most of the other signings you are referring to that have already happened) so this won't be an instantaneous signing by any means. Of course there's a chance he doesn't sign in Nashville but you seem awful sure of yourself here. Again, we will find out later this week whether he is signing or going UFA later in the summer.

Would have to agree with guru here, he's surely going to hit the FA market
guru is displaying a bigev type confidence in his prediction. Maybe guru is big ev?
I think he goes to FA. It's a pretty bad loophole in the rules but if he has the chance to choose his destination why not take advantage?

All I know is if he was going to sign in Nashville they wouldn't have to start negotiating now.
He could have said I'll accept your offer Nashville but let me finish school. Well school is finished. If it was going to get done he would have already played for Nashville as only a signature would have been required.
He hits free agency for sure.

Hes gettinf Max offer from Nashville anyways.
What's the hold up?
I don't see why you have to put out that statement if he was going to sign. It seems like theyre just telling everybody they tried their best.

I may be wrong, but the way I understand NCAA rules, he isn't allowed to start negotiating anything until he signs some paperwork with the NCAA giving them his intent. This is the long weekend and won't be able to even sign any NCAA paperwork until the holiday weekend ends, so the earliest he can even begin negotiations with the Preds is Tuesday, after he signs off with the NCAA. He would risk losing his school eligibility if he had already begun negotiating anything, no matter what we assume he's going to sign. They have pretty strict rules about this stuff.

The Predators is the only team he can sign with this season. If he chooses not to sign with them, he has to wait until this summer to become a UFA.

What's there to negotiate. He could have played for Nashville yesterday.
And of course top ncaa players negotiate. Just like they have agents I mean "advisors"

is there a 'yawning' emoticon?
