Report: Islanders, Rangers to meet with Vesey camp over next 2 days
The hockey world is Jimmy Vesey's oyster.
For the next few days, at least.
Set to become an unrestricted free agent at midnight ET on Tuesday, Vesey's camp will reportedly meet with representatives from the New York Islanders and New York Rangers over the next two days, writes Newsday's Steve Zipay and Arthur Staple.
Vesey's agents will be meeting teams in Boston, and a decision is expected by Friday or Saturday.

The Rangers have long been documented as a suitor, and while many teams will be calling Vesey's camp, this is the first time the Islanders have been linked to the 23-year-old.
Vesey's a Hobey Baker Award winner, given to the nation's top collegiate hockey player, and can sign a two-year entry-level contract with the team of his choice.
