The Chicago Blackhawks have strong interest in signing 2016 Hobey Baker Award winner Jimmy Vesey and will be among four or five teams to make their pitch when the left wing becomes an unrestricted free agent Tuesday, according to a source.Vesey, who had 24 goals and 22 assists in 33 games at Harvard last season and captured the award as the top college player, is believed to be NHL ready and the Hawks are expected to float the idea that he would skate on a line with Jonathan Toews should he sign with the team.In addition to promising a possible role among the top lines, the Hawks have a connection with the 23-year-old, as Director of Player Recruitment Ron Anderson coached Vesey's father, Jim, at Merrimack College in the late 1980s.
