Where would he fit with Connor, Motte, Compher, Jankowski?
Is he that much better than Jankowski that a team can offer him a free pass to NHL ice time?

The Predators thought he was good enough that they were going to gift him a top 9 spot in the playoffs.
Vesey is most probably not an elite offensive talent. He is according to many NHL execs and scouts, NHL ready or close to it. That is because he plays a pro style game, using his size and mobility.
IMO he most likely projects into a consistent 20 goal scorer in the NHL and that is why there is a long lineup of teams wanting to sign him.
Lets not forget that Vesey is almost 1.5 years older than Jankowski.
