Salmonberries Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 I don't like him at all as a hockey player but he seems like a really nice guy so...congratulations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoosh Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Goody good good good. I would have hoped they would have signed him for two years. Now we/he will face the same stuff next summer and I have a feeling he'll improve on his rookie season both statistically and defensively. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BI3KSA- Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Great contract. It's going to keep him feeling like hes on the hot seat and not feeling complacent. He needs to give this everything he can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thejazz97 Posted June 30, 2015 Author Share Posted June 30, 2015 Good deal for both sides! Are you going to change your name to VeygasCanuck now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aGENT Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Still not really sure where Vey fits in on this team. Glad we didn't let him walk though. Another season to see what he brings Pretty much the perfect 13th forward, that's where. He's a fill-in until the "real" prospects arrive and we can flip him for other assets when they do or keep him if he becomes more. I have no idea why so many people on here are so opposed to/terrified of that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VegasCanuck Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Are you going to change your name to VeygasCanuck now? Actually, moving back to BC in a couple of months. Will still be back and forth to Vegas for business. I guess I should change it again lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why so many people on here are so opposed to/terrified of that? If that's how he's used, he's an excellent fit. The problem is that Willie had his mancrush on him and would play him far too much, in situations where he didn't belong. Similar to how AV would frequently put Rypien and Rome out on the PK or in the last 3 minutes of a game. I loved Ryp and Rome was servicable as well; but to see them out there when it was not the right time was just bad. Vey seemed to get the same treatment; hey, here's some free Sedin PP time while Horvat (who is better) starts on the 4th line. That sort of thing. If that's gone and he's "just a guy earning a spot" I have no problem whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides Vey got a decent amount of points playing on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 'Waste of a roster spot'. Really? This guy is way better than someone like Higgins imo. He produced a great amount of points last year considering he was on the 4th line.He's way better then Higgins? Your gonna lose credibility by saying things like that...
