The wait is over.
With all of the NHL watching, Jimmy Vesey made his decision, and he won’t be joining the Chicago Blackhawks. He chose to play for the New York Rangers on Friday.
Vesey’s decision has to be frustrating for the Blackhawks. They put a lot of time and effort into recruiting Vesey, whom they envisioned as their top-line left winger next season. But now, the Blackhawks must move on.
The Blackhawks could be done for the offseason. They have some other options at left wing and some different lineup possibilities.
