NHL hot for Jimmy Vesey, and Harvard star is narrowing list for Monday
MARLBORO — Decision day fast approaches for former Harvard star Jimmy Vesey, who next week will make one NHL club very happy.As of midnight Monday, the high-scoring left winger will become an unrestricted free agent, and, probably, the richest member of the Harvard Class of '16.Likely all 30 NHL clubs would love to add a 23-year-old player who is hard-working, smart, responsible, very talented (24-22-46 totals in 33 games last season for the Crimson en route to winning the Hobey Baker Award) and, at least in relatively inexpensive for the first two years.
