AV. Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 1 year at 1 million as per Lebrun. Not too bad. Let's hope he can build off his rookie season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vancouvercanucks#1 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Drastic overpayment, sound the alarms. Linden Vey's going to tank this team. Trade him for a 7th immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apollo Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Fantastic. He had a terrific rookie season and will have a better sophomore year. No sophomore slump. Too bad it's not 2 years at 1 mill each. He'll want to bank after scoring 50 goals in 3 games this year and hoisting the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tystick Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Good! I think we all need to see another year out of him. 1mil is a bargain. With a good summer, I could see him putting up 40 points next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRussianRocket. Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Good signing. Make or break contract for him. Got to show us if he can stick or not. Capable NHLer but lacked the consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Van_City123 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not bad contract for Vey. Hopefully he can build of last season. He did score 10 goals and have 24 points as a rookie which isn't too bad. Hopefully he works on his skating speed and overall strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 My brother thinks Vey looks like Jon Snow. I am not sure I can say the same but at least I hope he doesn't end up like Jon Snow. Make or break Vey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Drastic overpayment, sound the alarms. Linden Vey's going to tank this team. Trade him for a 7th immediately. Really based on the Rinaldo trade he's worth a 1st easily. Call Sweeney before Sea Bass realizes what's going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowgary Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hope he can up his production a little in his second season. Good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firestorm238 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 That seems fair all around - he really did have a sleeper good season. I think with he'll be more successful as a re-branded RW as opposed to the expectations that came with being a C option last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
