Overview

  • The 32-year-old free agent has received no NHL contract invitations through late July 2025 and remains unsigned heading into the new season.
  • SKA St. Petersburg has been the most aggressive suitor among multiple KHL teams courting Vesey this offseason.
  • He has also fielded offers from Ak Bars Kazan, Dinamo Minsk and Kunlun Red Star, the latter offering a potential reunion with former coach Gerard Gallant.
  • Vesey struggled in 2024-25, recording just five goals and eight points in 43 games—the fewest appearances and lowest production of his nine-year NHL career.
  • He is evaluating whether to pursue a leading KHL contract or accept a minor-league deal in North America to revive his career.
