Report: Penguins, Maple Leafs, Devils to meet with Vesey
Tuesday will be a busy day for Jimmy Vesey.
The unrestricted free agent will meet with the Pittsburgh Penguins - as first reported by TSN's Darren Dreger - as well as the Toronto Maple Leafs, the New Jersey Devils, and the New York Islanders, according to Mark Divver of the Providence Journal.

The Penguins are the latest team to confirm their interest in the Hobey Baker Award winner after it was reported Monday that the New York Rangers and the Islanders will meet with the 23-year-old early in the week.
Financially, inking Vesey would be no simple task for either the Leafs or Penguins. Toronto has approximately $56,000 in cap space, while the Penguins are roughly $2.3 million over the salary cap, according to General Fanager.
