Salmonberries Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I like him on the wing with Horvat and Baertchi. Hope to see more of that, and not just on the pp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 He looked pretty good out there again, he's definitely improved from last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormriders Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I have not been a Vey fan, based on last years performance and was happy he was sent down. So I have to come on here and say that since he was been recalled, he is a better version of himself and is playing smarter, more determined, and has improved in recent games, with tonight being one of his best. He is more noticeable for the right reasons and I just hope he keeps doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Vey can be a solid top 9 player in this league, in the eastern conference. Don't see him with the in Nucks in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snipes2539 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Vey is on a 1 year contract, he's in the lineup right now because Sutter is hurt, when he's back the choice then Vey will be directly competing against McCann and Cracknell for a spot in the line-up. He'll likely get a few games because WD loves the kid, but I don't see JB resigning him after this season, he's playing for a job next year so good for him on showing improvement.

Who you are playing with makes a difference: I thought Virtanen made Vey a better player at times against Florida (-especially the 1st period.) On the other hand, regardless of linemates Vey did seem to win more puck battles than I recall him doing last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosierdaddy Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Vey was more than solid. Consistency is the big issue now. He's got to show its not a once off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is more noticeable for the right reasons and I just hope he keeps doing this. I will say I did support him last season as I thought a lot of good things in his game was overlooked. However, I was quite happy to see him go down at the beginning of the season because like a few more of last seasons players it was like he thought he didn't need to try in pre season. When he got his chance this season though he has been, if not a revelation, at least a pretty solid contributor. I take the opposite view from the poster above, I don't think Jake helped Vey's game (how could he, he has only played with him twice) but more that Vey helped Jake's game. He is an ideal line mate for players like Jake and Etem because he is totally unselfish, knows how to play a winger in and has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. He is highly competitive and thinks the game through. I think that's what Willie liked about him when he coached the Tigers and it is what he likes about him now. People are so easily blinded by "flashy play" sometimes they don't realise how valuable to a team's performance solid performers who perform selflessly like Vey, are. Thankfully the people who matter do. It will be a pity he has to go back to Utica just when he has got a decent line to lead but I wouldn't want to lose him to waivers as I think this time he would be snapped up.

canuckleheads fan Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Vey worked hard in the offseason and added some strength. He was by far our best face off man by percentage last night. He had a crap camp, but came back up ready to play. I saw flashes with him and Etem last night. I want to see where that goes, because those two could make for a very dangerous third line. Vey looks like he has a very high hockey IQ. When Sutter comes back they should put him with the twins or with Bo on the wing, waive Cracknell, or move McCann to Vey's wing on the 3rd line.

SaintPatrick33 Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 I tell you what, Vey looked real good with Etem versus Florida. Although he wont be a burner, Vey has nice passing and vision, he made a beauty to Horvat and setup etem on another. Who knows maybe Vey Shinkaruk and Etem will be a great line for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snucks Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 Keeping this Vey has turned off the veterans and they have more or less committed to him staying by bringing in Etem whom Vey played with before. At least the new guy has size and will not be pushed around as easily as Vey. The team still has the huge problem of Edler . I still believe the catering to this coach and his Vey has been a big mistake and the idea of speed and skill against much bigger tougher teams that also have skill is going to keep Canucks injured and struggling for years.

TheGuardian_ Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Vey is fixture on the team now since they got his line mate from junior. I guess the belief is that Vey will grow 2" and gain 20 lbs now that Etem is here and Etem will suddenly do what he couldn't do in the other NHL teams.

coryberg Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Well it looks like he is here to stay. After tomorrow's game he will be waiver eligible once again. I don't see us risking losing him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 decades and no cup Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Keep him up and send McCaan back to Jrs. Kid's tiring already; if he stays with the team, he'll be ground to a pulp by season's end. Canucks lose a year of RFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
