The hockey world continues to wait with bated breath on Jimmy Vesey.
The 23-year-old NCAA player of the year continues to consider his options after meetings with eight teams earlier in the week - his agent Peter Donatelli said a decision is not likely going to happen today, but should be done this weekend, according to Brian Hedger of NHL.com.
Donatelli says Vesey and his management group have only met once to discuss the options, yesterday, and will meet again as a group today.

Donatelli also debunked reports that his client had narrowed the field to the New York Rangers and Chicago Blackhawks, as well as the belief he turned down the Detroit Red Wings because he wants to play closer to home.
"Where he picks will be based purely on a hockey decision," the agent said.
The Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, New Jersey Devils, New York Islanders, Pittsburgh Penguins, and Toronto Maple Leafs are also believed to be in consideration.
