New York Rangers trade Jimmy Vesey to the Buffalo Sabres

The New York Rangers have dealt forward Jimmy Vesey to the Buffalo Sabres, in exchange for a 3rd round pick in 2021.

The Sabres were close to signing Vesey after his college career, and now have landed him for next season. The 26-year-old Vesey finished last season with 17 goals and 35 points and is due $2.275 million for next season.

The American is expected to get a look with one of his buddies, Jack Eichel on Buffalo's top line.

Good move for the Sabres?
