You hate to see this sort of thing happen to players that refuse to sign with anyone but the Rangers out of the draft

I didn't know much about Vesey, so I looked up some sets off capfriendly:

Age: 27 years
Contract: $900K / 1 year

2020-21 stats: 30GP 5G 2A 7pts [TOR]

Career high year (2018-19): 81GP 17G 18A 35pts [NYR]

Good interview/article about him on Sportsnet today.

Hard to feel bad for players that spurn their draft team...

...Good for him for giving the NHL the ol' College try though....Harvard?...Never heard of her.
