I like that he just had fun with the whole concept...you guys are all too serious for a beautiful Friday. Also, none of the experts have a clue when expansion is going to be announced for sure so can we all stop pretending like we know how GM's are going to respond, or when they know which off season they need to respond in?
Thank you! LOL.
I was just having a bit of fun.

This is kind of dumb. Assuming Vesey, an unlikely top line player, signs in Toronto (very good chance he won't) and becomes a top line producer?
It doesn't hurt to be optimistic!
He's an intelligent (Harvard grad), skilled player with size (6'3") that can cycle the puck. Every line could use one of those types, and with Matthews and Marner used as a tandem here, I just thought it would be interesting to include Vesey as a very optimistic possibility.
Yeah, Vesey is likely going to sign in Boston. I mean, if you're a Leafs fan, wouldn't it be great if Vesey signed here and played himself into a top 6 role on the LW?
That was the point of including him here.

Lastly, they would not be that idiotic to sign Thomas Greiss to almost $4 million per year to be a backup-quality starting goaltender.
Griess was a BIG reason the Islanders even made it to the second round this year. He consistently has had an above avarage save percentage throughout his career up to this point. He's a legitimate #1 goaltender for a team that recognizes how underrated he is by a lot of people -- including you, apparently.
I would add Michal Neuvirth from the Flyers as well. He's been an above average NHL goalie for a number of years.
