Anyone else watching this situation closely?
Anyone else notice in influx of New England natives more recently?
How many times have you watched the Olympics and asked: Why can't BOS get players- from home -like that?
FYI: Vesey is a primo player; was slated for Nashville's top-6. Perhaps, the only way BOS is going to land top New England natives is if they simply choose to make it so? We'll see...
Per the article (and link) below:
The 6-foot-3 winger from North Reading, Mass. turned down a roster spot with the Predators to earn his degree, and has expressed an intent to stay in his home state, in the town that he proved himself worthy of a draft pick, via the Boston Herald
“If Vesey reaches free agency it would be a crushing loss for the Predators, and maybe fantastic good fortune for the Bruins. According to an extremely well-placed source within the Boston-area college hockey community, the forward will opt for free agency and sign with the B’s.”
His father, Jim Vesey, now a scout for the Toronto Maple Leafs, spent time with Bruins organization from 1991-1993, notching 38 goals and 39 assists for the Providence Bruins, with 4 games playing for the B’s at the NHL level. Prior to his pro debut, he played four years at Merrimack College.
Harvard's Jimmy Vesey evades Nashville, could become a Bruin
