Give us credit, Buffalo Sabres fans: we here at Sabre Noise have (for the most part) resisted the urge to speculate on the decision that reigning Hobey Baker memorial Award-winner Jimmy Vesey will make once he officially becomes a free agent on August 15.
However, with less than a week to go before Vesey begins speaking with teams on his “short list,” it’s time to address the latest batch of rumors surrounding the kid who has yet to suit up for even one damn professional hockey game.
Simply put, there doesn’t appear to be a snowball’s chance in hell that Vesey will sign with the Buffalo Sabres.
