LeanBeef Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Solid. Doesn't deserve most of the hate he gets.... Surprised me with how he started last year, hopefully he can keep it up this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Am.Ironman 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. "For the watch" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Good deal. I'm glad Vey was smart enough not to demand a high pay and try again at a breakout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chalky Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Please take Higgins off that 2nd line, for god's sake even he knows he's a third liner, a great one at that.. and you missed SVEN which will be a 2nd liner.. You are so right. Sven is on line 2, Higgins takes a spot from Kassian I guess. That or Burrows or Hansen get moved for picks. EDIT: Or perhaps Higgins is moved for picks. Either way, we have more players with waiver ineligibility than we roster spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChwkCanux Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Very pleased, he accepts any given role and he is a good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Not that he was amazingly impressive all of last year, but for that contract he can't really hurt us either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejazz97 Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Smart move but Vey isn't a long term foundational piece of this team. Nope, and Benning has mentioned that. Said Clendening was in the same boat there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports Just spoke with newly re-signed Linden Vey. He says it's always an exciting day when you sign an NHL contract. #Canucks (1/4) NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports Vey says the one year deal is a great way of proving himself and he's excited for the opportunity to do so. #Canucks (2/4) NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports Vey is spending the offseason in Saskatoon, but plans on coming back to Vancouver soon to work with the #Canucks conditioning coach's. (3/4) NEWS 1130 Sports @NEWS1130Sports Vey spoke with Trevor Linden today. Told Vey if he puts in the work, he can have a great year.

JamesB 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. Reasonable contract. The Canucks did not want to qualify Vey as he would have had arbitration rights and might easily have been awarded more than the Canucks could afford to pay. So his choice was probably to take this contract or become a UFA with no chance of signing with the Canucks. The security of a guaranteed 1 million then probably made sense to Vey. At worst, he could be waived and sent to Utica, and the Canucks would not face any cap penalty given a salary of only 1 million. So Vey has one more shot to show he belongs in the NHL. As Benning has said he needs to work hard this summer and come back to training camp stronger than he was last year. Right now he is 4th on the depth chart at center but I am sure the Canucks would like to re-sign Richardson if they can. Vey can also fight for a spot at RW, but the Canucks have lots of depth there right now. I can see Vey as 13th man who can fill in at C or RW depending on injuries.

Shift-4 Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Not that he was amazingly impressive all of last year, but for that contract he can't really hurt us either. Sums up my feelings. Looks like a contract where he has to earn his next one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
