The New York Rangers signed a very different version of Jimmy Vesey to a two-year extension this past January from the player who arrived on Broadway fresh out of college in August 2016 –– and it’s for the better.
The left-winger carved out a stable slotting for himself in the Blueshirts’ bottom-six last season, but it didn’t come without reflection and adaptability to keep his NHL career alive and well.
“It was kind of make or break, I went with my gut, and I’m just over the moon with how everything has gone,” Vesey said in January, according to the NHL.
