Former college sensation and Hobey Baker award winner Jimmy Vesey may not be able to earn any additional salary as a free agent, but there's no doubt he will maximize his opportunities and has done a very good job of marketing himself to NHL organizations.

On Monday Vesey's agent revealed one of the names on the reportedly short list of team's that his client will be speaking to when he becomes available in August.

“Chicago will be a team we want to talk to on Aug. 15,” said agent Peter Donatelli via The Athletic's Scott Powers on Monday. “Chicago will be on the list, but it shouldn’t be read as they’re ahead of anyone else.”

It's good news for Chicago who have dispatched general manager Stan Bowman himself to go watch Vesey in his workouts over the summer, and it's believed that was part of a full court press to acquire the young prospect. Despite that Vesey's agent remains steadfast that his client hasn't yet made up his mind.

“He really has no idea where he’s going to be,” Donatelli said. “It’s going to be up to the teams to sell him. … Yes, [we have criteria], but we’re interested in what the teams say rather than telling the teams what they have to say.”

Only time will tell.
