I've been so busy at work this week I totally forgot about Vesey. I kind of enjoyed my Vesey-free week. What's the word on this kid? Going to Boston?

He's met with the Hawks, Pens, Devils, Rags, Leafs, Isles and Bruins. No short list yet and probably no decision till the weekend.

Don't you just love this kid?

If you've met with everyone on the short list why would he need to make another short list and then after the shorter short list has been made will he make another shortest list of the shorter list

I've been saying Friday or Monday for weeks now. It's just how these things go.

Going to take a year off to put in a sweet patio and fire pit at his parents' house, I think. He still can't understand why all these hockey folks keep bugging him...he thought on August 15 he was getting Free Masonry.

I hear ya. When it comes to the shorter of the short list you have to go with the shortest list which replaces the shorter list.

Verne Troyer agrees.

I think as time goes back it gets shorter and shorter to make a decision from the short list.

My guess the 3 finalists will be the Swords, Rags and Broons.

They won't come out with a short list - that would be beyond arrogant. What they may do is call up a couple teams with further questions. Those teams might consider themselves on the short list. Doubtful they have to call up Buffalo as I'm sure they've talked enough

Gotta be all dreams of the media spouting off. They need something too write about. Just like the day before he hit FA, Fish said he doesn't know were the stories are coming from but none are true.

People who are familiar with the news cycle know that anything that breaks after 2:30 Friday afternoon gets lost in the weekend (and replaced by other stuff by Monday morning). A PR person for a team that signs him will want the announcement tomorrow morning or Monday. His agent would, too.

Most ppl have been in favor of going after a forward if we miss on Vesey...
But what about if we get him?
At this point, it doesn't seem like Hudler &/or Pirri will have too big a Cap hit

Might mean we have to trade Franson (oh no!)
But I wouldn't mind adding 2 of those 3 forwards

Would give us the freedom to then trade Girgensons or Kane or whoever at some point in the season

Yep, Friday is the day for bad/not optimal news. Gob forbid anybody remembers anything 3 days after it happens. But sports seems to be a little weird with that and it doesn't always follow the Friday is for bad news thing.
