Aladeen Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So essentially Vey and Shink for Granlund? I like a lot of things JB has done, this is not one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Just Shink for Granlund. Vey is a UFA and could sign anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timberz21 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 So everyone yelling at Willie for his unconditional love for Vey, might have been wrong. He was Gulutzan's favorite after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aladeen Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Just now, thundernuts said: No. Just Shink for Granlund. Vey is a UFA and could sign anywhere. yes but if we didn't have Granlund and still had Shink we would have had room to sign Vey who was an RFA. It's not like Granlund >>>>>>> Vey. At least not enough to justify giving up Shink for. But that's just my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jam126 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 Well, I guess we were wrong about WD. Vey was Gulutzan's guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'd be fine with signing Lessio or Chipchura to take his spot - fit our needs better imo. I wish him the best. I thought he might go to Europe to get a bit of distance and air, but nice to see Calgary give him another opportunity. He's certainly earned one with his hard work and improvement despite the hardships. Obviously a character young player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Essentially not A roster spot is a roster spot and comes with its own value If Vey had any value whatsoever he wouldn't have been on the market for a few days, only to sign a 1 year deal likely at league minimum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, none of them have proven to be anything of real value at the NHL level. I'm not upset about losing Vey, or trading Shinkaruk, but that's just my opinion.

Rush17 Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm ok with Vey'sy moving on to calgary. If hes in there lineup it will only make it easier for us to play them. He is a slight fella. Sure he has some xp but downgrading some of calgary's size is fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
