Just didnt pan out :/ Have fun in Europe or something! Risks happen but I look at it out of the use we got from him. He did what we wanted. He bridged the gap and helped us in our time of need last year with Hank and Sutter out. That 2nd round pick has more then paid itself off Imo. Having vey in the lineup probably has helped bo more then we know. The team keeping his family stuff quiet all last season is a very good bonding experience for the team. If I were to bet. I'd suspect prust was the one that spilled the beans to botch. Higgins is 2 classy and prust was a d bag and told the kids they gotta protect themselves. He too me looks like a guy with no character. Wouldn't surprise me one bit. Thanks for your help vey buddy! Hope you find a good balance in life and get many years of doing what you love playing hockey. I expect he will be back in the nhl soon even if he does jet to Europe. I can see him in a blues jersey! Good luck and thanks for everything Veysey!!!

(I assume you know what two-way means, but if you don't it has to do with their contract not moving through waivers. Example 1 mil with NHL team, only 30% paid in AHL..get sent down you make 300k that year, play in NHL you make 1mil.) Two-way contracts have nothing to do with waivers. That's an EA Sports NHLXX fallacy. EDIT: I just re-read that, and I think a comma would have helped you. i.e. "it has to do with their contract, not moving through waivers" - without the comma suggests "their contract not moving through waivers."

RRypien37 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Wish him the best of luck. It's too bad this came down now when he was already dealt some pretty bad news with his family issues. Hopefully he can chill in Europe for a year or 2 making some decent coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Vey just wasn't going to fit here, the minutes need to go to our better prospects. That said, he seems like really good kid, and that still counts for a lot in this world. I don't know if he'll get any more NHL opportunities, but he should find a great situation in Europe should he feel like going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vey could very well still come to an agreement with the Canucks at a lower cap hit/two-way deal. IMO, that's a real possibility with Vey. Oh I'm well aware...I just prefer to believe this is the end of the vey-era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingofsurrey Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 He may return to the Canucks for 2017. Where THERE IS A WILL ie, THERE IS A VEY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honky Cat Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Generally,I wasn't a fan of his play,but at times last season,he played some very inspired hockey (especially on the road when the injuries hit) Wish him all the best,through a very difficult situation .

70seven Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 He should go to Europe, play some good minutes, gain some confidence. Perhaps we'll see him in the NHL again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would probably clear waivers after camp though. You have to qualify a player to keep his rights. By not qualifying him he becomes a ufa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beary Sweet Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I don't want Vey to leave but if this is goodbye, I wish him nothing but the best. We'll miss u Veyster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
insomniac604 Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 I think he deserved one but you have to factor in how many one-way players we have. I hope he will be packaged in with someone to get a decent guy back. Vey deserves a solid chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Vey was worth a shot (despite some fans' frustration and questions about him being here). He may have very well panned out but he didn't. I'm still glad that we are giving players like him and Baer a shot. It worked with Baer at least. Baer's a prime example of how this is a feasible method to make the team better in my opinion. Next, we'll see if Etem pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iinatcc Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 2nd Round Pick down the drain. I had no problems getting him via a trade but a 2nd was too high a price for someone drafted in the 4th round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually he's already beaten the odds of a 2nd round pick. 70% never manage to play 100 nhl games. Where you're drafted has little meaning after a few years of development. For some value goes up and others it goes down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
