Report: Patrick Kane attended Blackhawks' meeting with Jimmy Vesey

There was no shortage of star power involved in a recent slew of meetings hosted by free-agent forward Jimmy Vesey and his representatives.

Following a report that captain John Tavares was in attendance for the New York Islanders' pitch to the NCAA standout, Chicago Blackhawks winger and reigning Art Ross Trophy and Hart Trophy winner Patrick Kane accompanied team representatives to their meeting, according to Mark Divver of The Providence Journal.

Meanwhile Vesey's agent, Peter Fish, confirmed no decision is coming Thursday.

"Just taking everything in from the past couple of days and trying to digest and sort through," he texted DJ Bean of WEEI.

Eight teams are believed to be in the mix for Vesey's services, with the Blackhawks, Boston Bruins, New Jersey Devils, New York Rangers, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Toronto Maple Leafs joining the Buffalo Sabres - who held Vesey's rights up until Aug. 16 - in the pursuit.
