Report: Penguins to meet with Vesey

The Stanley Cup champs have thrown their hat into the Jimmy Vesey sweepstakes.

The Pittsburgh Penguins will meet with the forward Tuesday, according to TSN's Darren Dreger. Vesey became an unrestricted free agent at the stroke of midnight Tuesday.

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 New York Islanders will meet with the 23-year-old early in the week.

However, the Penguins are already roughly $2.3 million over the salary cap, according to General Fanager.
