I think Vesey should do 20-25G here.

His TOI is 14:20 and 16:03 the last two years. I see him being around similar TOI with buffalo. But the way he was used is interesting. 53% Dzone starts last year, 51% career. Mainly 5v5 Ice time. Only 2 of his 34 goals the last 2 years were powerplay goals.

Considering the lack of forward depth, his PP time should go up, and he will be on the ice in more offensive situations. I also think that there is a good chance he plays with Reinhart, which might mean a lot of nice setups.

good points, although pp time will be limited to any leftovers on the 2nd unit...if he hits 20 goals, i'd be thrilled

a method to beane's madness, I see...

all in all, pretty smooth moves by him

- Michael Pachla



All in all, I like his approach. They are trying to build a deep team, and I think we're seeing that on defense already. They just need a couple more big time playmakers, particularly on offense, though a pass rusher would be awesome as well.

Russel. Bodine. Is. Terrible.

They were that desperate for depth.

the other guy was young, and pretty good...although inconsistent, according to sal cappacio

What about fire sauce on Wendy's fries? Can't you guys compromise for once?

Saw that. Bodine is the last of those atrocious OL players to head out of here. Thought Teller had promise, like his compensation suggests. Gives Beane a mulligan at the same draft position and a free pick. Good nuff.

We already won the offseason AND the preseason, which indicates we'll win the regular and post season too.

We're one of three teams to do it, and we play the other two this year.

I see eichel Skinner and Sam as the first unit, Mojo is clearly on the second to skate the puck in, but I think Vesey should see consistent second team pp time in front of the opponents net.

yeah, that's probably where he'll be on that 2nd unit, but even so, that group doesn't get a lot of pp time

As the kids say, I am here for it.

After further thought, a Wendy's chicken sandwich tossed in taco bell fire sauce would be the fatboy meal mashup for me

You're probably right. Still, gotta be worth more than one pp goal, which is all he had the last two seasons each.

Samson and Casey are key components to how this season shakes out in my opinion.
