According to Daria Tuboltseva of RG Sports [https://rg.org/news/hockey/jimmy-vesey-weighs-khl-offers-as-nhl-future-uncertain], Vesey may play in the KHL next season with SKA St. Petersburg reportedly being the frontrunners to land the veteran forward. “Jimmy has been asking a lot of questions about how things work in the KHL and is seriously considering offers from the top European league,” Tuboltseva [https://rg.org/news/hockey/jimmy-vesey-weighs-khl-offers-as-nhl-future-uncertain] wrote. Vesey spent the first three seasons of his career with the Rangers, and he actually made a return to New York in 2022 after playing for the Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Maple Leafs, Vancouver Canucks, and New Jersey Devils. This past season, Vesey’s role with the Rangers diminished to the point where he was scratched out of the lineup for multiple games in a row. His frustration ultimately got the best of him, and he spoke out about his limited playing time. “I love being a Ranger, and I think everyone knows that. The six years I’ve been here have been the best and most fun I’ve had as a player,” Vesey said via Larry Brooks of The New York Post.

[https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/will-cuylle-will-be-the-rangers-biggest-x-factor-for-the-2025-26-season] “It seems that I’ve fallen out of favor and have just been cast aside over an extended period of time. It feels like I have no role or purpose on this team. At around the time of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline, Vesey, along with Ryan Lindgren, were traded to the Colorado Avalanche.
