Nothing earth shattering here, but, as you all probably know, Jack has kind of left Vesey alone in this decision throughout the summer. Jack isn't the type of guy to push an agenda. He's answered a few questions about Buffalo for Jimmy, but that's about it. Jimmy hasn't visited Buffalo with him BUT Jack and Samson "do have room in their condo for one more player." Jack might have a commitment tomorrow and not be able to make the beer league game, but, if he does play, he's going to basically wish him luck for next Monday and say "he would love for him to join the Sabres." If he can't make the game, he's texted him something similar.
Looking at the contenders:
BUF - seems like a perfect fit, and we have the advantage of (a) meeting him early and (b). If you didn't see the video of Jimmy being the first person to confront the player who kneed Jack, you should watch it. I personally think he's coming to Buffalo and haven't heard anything saying otherwise
BOS - hometown yes but hometown pressure too. His Father and Jimmy Hayes have told him to avoid Boston. The team isn't on an upswing either. Still, it is his home team and there seems to be room for a 2nd line LW (Marchant being 1st line) to play with Krejci. Krejci had 63 points last year but is 30, whereas Jack isn't even 20
TOR - Dad works there and brother drafted there. In saying that, he's not going there - high tax rates and TOR has Van Riemsdyk and Lupul at LW and a lot of LW prospects. Also, TOR isn't in a win now mode.
CHI - Would only have to beat out Fleishmann for 2nd line minutes. BUT, Chi isn't on the East coast and doesn't have a sterling record on keeping players in their 2nd contract. Vesey would have to be concerned with being shipped out to EDM, CLB or some other not so great city
PIT - Seems to be room for a second line winger here behind Kunitz. Hasn't been much talk of Vesey to PIT, but, the would be on my short list if I was him.
Next week looks interesting and I think he signs with Buffalo on Next Thursday (9 days from now).

Devils and Rangers are also in for Vesey. - SABRES 89
Devils are connected cuz Vesey has a former coach there now, or something like that. Still, they won't make his short list
Rangers currently would have Nash and Kreider ahead him at LW and are on a severe downturn. Plus, Hayes hasn't exactly loved playing there. he won't sign with them.
