Vesey was held off the board but did fire three shots on goal in his Rangers preseason debut Thursday against the Devils.

EDGE Analysis

Vesey looked fantastic in the Traverse City Prospects Tournament earlier this month, recording five goals and two assists. The 2014-15 Hobey Baker Award winner inked an entry-level deal with the Rangers in August, and his success at Harvard suggests the 23-year-old winger is going to be in contention to crack the roster from the get-go. His 32 goals in 37 college games last season suggest Vesey possesses some serious offensive talent, but it remains to be seen whether he can translate that to NHL success.
