I don't think he does. Easy depth, could be bottom 9 on an eastern team. And yes, I just said bottom 9.

I think he clears. At this point, every team is pretty much set and they would have to cut a player that "made" their team to fit Vey into the roster. I don't really think teams would do that to a player who "earned" a spot on the roster, unless there is an injury or the GM has a huge crush on Vey, which would be surprising.

Higgins should be going on LTIR tomorrow, as it would be 2 weeks since the incident. Still waiting for Biega and possibly Cracknell to be waived, I view these as the final cuts.

Shot metrics for the preseason here: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CQgkDyyWoAAfmW6.png

Horvat is elite. McCann, Virtanen are NHLers, while Sbisa should be shot.

Sbisa isn't perfect but I think he has had a good pre season, especially the last few games he played. I don't get the hate he gets..

Funny how this article on Canucks.com written 3 days ago lists Hutton as an afterthought on D, and refers to the fourth line as Linden Vey's line as if it were a given. :lol:

Much has changed over the last week.

Maybe for Vey it was addressing the fourth line in Utica?

I know this will sound crazy to some, but has anyone considered putting Sutter with Prust and Dorsett?

Yes, I know, people would say "That's the most expensive 4th line ever", but I really think people need to buy-in to the Willie Desjardins/Jim Benning talk about how there are no lines. The Canucks have incredible depth. What's wrong with having THREE really good 3rd lines? Take a look at this line-up and tell me it doesn't at least make you a bit horny!

Sedin - Sedin - Virtanen

Baertschi - Horvat - Vrbata

Burrows - McCann - Hansen

Prust - Sutter - Dorsett

(Cracknell) (Vey)

Again, the final 3 lines can be sorted any which way. None of those guys (except Vrbata) are true top 6 guys. Not even Burrows. That 4th line would be a force to be reckoned with.

I don't think this will happen, but I'd love to see it, even just for a few games. What's the harm in giving Virtnane a shot at #1?

Not even remotely......Sutter scored 21 goals last season and you want to put him with prust and dorsett? They brought him in, partly, to be a leader for the young guys and you want them to insult him?

I think JB might try to sneek Vey and Corrado through waivers on the last day. Hopefully there's a trade.

I'm thinking this too, though not both, but one of the two. Rosters have to be finalized by Tuesday, so a 24 hour waiver period on Monday, should rule out anyone looking for a deal. I mean teams would be looking at making their own cuts, less concerned with picking someone up.

Vey. Corrado will have more value.
