NEW YORK—The New York Rangers have won the Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes. New York announced Friday it agreed to terms on an entry-level deal with the coveted college free agent. Vesey was the Hobey Baker Award winner as the NCAA’s player of the year last season for Harvard. Originally drafted by the Nashville Predators in the third round (66th overall) of the 2012 draft, Vesey said he wouldn’t sign by the Aug. 15 deadline. The Predators traded his rights to the Buffalo Sabres for a third-round pick in the 2016 draft.
