<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>EthanBearForVezina</b></div><div>What’s up with all the Jimmy Vesey trades?</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>I've wondered that myself. Rangers fans seem desperate to get rid of him, most are shipping him off to Edmonton for picks. I guess because his brother is under contract with the OIlers? Dunno.</div></div>

Not really desperate to get rid of him.. he's more just the odd man out at this point with Kakko/Hughes, Kravtsov, Andersson, expecting to have full time NHL roles next year, as well as Lemieux and potentially a panarin signing.. he'd be on our fourth line essentially, these trades obviously won't all happen.

If panarin signs we could realistically have
Panarin-Zibanejad-Kravtsov
Kredier-Chytil-Kakko
Lemieux-Strome-Buchnevich
Andersson-Howden-Fast

As you can see, there just isn't enough room for Namestnikov or Vesey.. although i would be open to keeping Vesey and having Andersson not play fourth line minutes.. depends on the state of Hartford as I wouldn't want him to be back on a horrible team


I do not like the buffalo one as we trade one defender who can't play defense for another.. while giving up andersson and fast for an under-performing winger in sheary.
Rangers would be better off going after someone else for RHD.
