The Vancouver Canucks have claimed Toronto Maple Leafs winger Jimmy Vesey off of waivers.
Vesey doesn’t have a long commute to make, as the Canucks announced that the Boston native will join the team today in Ottawa.

1. He can score
Vesey has scored five goals in 30 games while playing in the Maple Leafs’ bottom six. That leaves him tied for sixth in team scoring with Jason Spezza and Wayne Simmonds, although Simmonds hit that mark in 12 games as opposed to 30.
