Jimmy Vesey is the talk of the NHL right now.
The reigning Hobey Baker Award winner and former Harvard forward is now an unrestricted free agent after not signing with the Buffalo Sabres — who acquired his rights from the Nashville Predators in June — by the Aug. 15 deadline.
The 23-year-old reportedly has meetings scheduled with several teams Tuesday.
