A few rumors before this trade that Sabres where high on his list

Eichel and Vessey play together in the Summer

His dad works for the Leafs correct, that could make things a little awkward at Thanksgiving.

As long as he doesn't go to the Leafs (or the obvious Oilers/Canucks)

Stephen Whyno @SWhyno
The 3rd-rounder #Sabres sent to #Preds for rights to Jimmy Vesey (Wild's at No. 76) is not conditional. Buffalo must believe he'll sign.

That Buffalo rebuild is just going dandy. You should take a close look EDM, their rebuild is light years ahead of yours in half the time.

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
BUF GM on trading for Vesey rights: "Why not us? Why not give it a shot? We have a spot in our Top 6 for him. We had four 3rd-round picks."

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
More Tim Murray: "If I could've traded (rental) Jamie McGinn for Vesey's rights at deadline, I'd have done it. We'll give it our best shot."

Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie
The third-round pick BUF gave up for Vesey's right was third-rounder they acquired from ANA (originally MIN) for McGinn.

If he doesn't sign he becomes an unrestricted free agent no?

If that's the case he'd be crazy to sign an ELC no?

He has to sign an ELC regardless if he makes it to UFA or not.

Sabres have his rights until August 15.

Didn't realize that the Sabres had 13 picks for this draft.

12 now. Definitely worth a shot I suppose.

Oh yes! Great news. There was rumblings that him and Eichel were close.

As long as he gets signed, of course. Glad to see those bazillion third rounders going to good use.

But then after the ELC is done he would be an RFA instead of UFA right?
I just don't see the upside either way for Vessey to sign.

Good deal for Buffalo if they can sign him.

No he will still be RFA either way.

If he was worried about contracts and getting to a big deal earlier, he should have just signed with Nashville.

oh boy... doesn't sound too promising from the agent:

Quote:
Joe McDonald
ESPN Staff Writer

Peter Donatelli, who represents Jimmy Vesey, had this to say about the Buffalo Sabres acquiring the rights of his client from the Nashville Predators: "In our opinion, the only thing that has happened is now the Sabres have stepped into the shoes of Nashville for exclusive rights [to negotiate] until Aug. 15. However, at this time, it doesn't change Jimmy Vesey's intention to become a free agent on Aug. 15."
