Really Poile did just screw up here. Once he didn't sign on last year they should have leveraged the asset rather then risk what happened. Poile gambled and lost, I shed precisely zero tears for Poile's lost gambles.

I don't know, Poile is one of the best and most experienced GMs in the game, I don't see him dropping the ball this bad.
As for Vesey, he and his agent are probably more interested in turning this story around for PR reasons. He hasn't even played a game and his name is already mud to a lot of people. He's a young kid, he's probably overwhelmed with all the vitriol being directed towards him, justified or not. I can see him wanting the situation to go away. If I was him, I would want to have my cake and eat it too as well.
