Today I wanted to take a look at the piquant entrance of Jimmy Vesey into the NHL. After a long NCAA hockey career with the Harvard University Crimson, the Nashville Predators 2012 3rd round pick opted to go the free agency route. As a Hobey Baker winner and one of the perceived top NHL prospects in the world, there was a TON of hype for this then-23-year-old, so much so that, to some, he was a more valuable prospect than the 1st and 2nd overall picks months earlier: Auston Matthews and Patrik Laine of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Winnipeg Jets respectively..
A few years later and a few trades later, Jimmy Vesey, with the New York Rangers and now the Buffalo Sabres, is nowhere near the level of those aforementioned top 2 picks.
