New York Rangers: Reports of a Jimmy Vesey trade possibility

Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet noted in his popular 31 Thoughts column today that discussions have taken place between the New York Rangers and the Buffalo Sabres about Vesey.

With the 2019 NHL Entry Draft taking place on Friday, teams across the league are starting to put their chips in the middle of the table and position themselves to improve their roster.

Buffalo appear to be one of those teams as they attempt to bounce back from a poor 2018-19 campaign, which started with so much promise but ultimately fizzled out at an alarming rate.

They have a new head coach behind the bench in Ralph Krueger while star forward Jeff Skinner was tied down to an eight-year, $72 million extension earlier this week.
