I cant see vey playing 4th line centre and I cant see him playing top9 so in canucks fans reality he should be waived or traded for a sack of potatoes...in JB and WD reality vey gets a pass on everything even tho he is weak as fuck and cant do shit all on the ice!

I agree in principle, but Richardson at $2.1M to go with Prust at $2.5M and Dorsett at $2.65M would be one hell of an expensive 4th line.

yeah it would be expensive as fuck and point production would be minimal! But the way JB spends money like water I wouldnt be surprised if he signed a 4th line centre to 3mill

It use to be "it's a process" to now "he brings intangibles that we need". New way of justifying any signing or trade.

god fuck politics. Dont know WD at all, but I assume that JB is sticking Vey down his throat and WD is too fresh in the NHL and lacks the guts to tell him to fuck off.
--Being a rookie coach in the National league, its assumed he doesnt carry much weight

It should really be about icing the best team. just write off the loses and sunk costs (Vey)

Every ones all excited about Virtanen with the twins. I'm actually more excited with seeing McCann play. That kid can make things happen and plays a complete 200 ft game already.

that virtanen hit Kappa

Vey fucking sucks.
Pisses me off...he's getting a fuckload of ice time because of who he's line up with and he still can't do shit

WD coached Vey and Dorsett in juniors and they were his favourite players as a junior coach.

I don't think Benning had any connection to Vey until the trade.

Virtanen has like a dozen hits so far (slight exaggeration)

at least it seems that Markstrom will be decent for us this year

Markstrom is looking great in this game

McCann now playing w/ Baertschi and Vrbata

McSnipe

I got high hopes and expectations for this kid.
He's more nhl ready than Virtanen imo.

Definitely a better option in the middle than Vey but of course Veys spot is untouchable.

And how bout Hutton.

Hutton has looked good in every game except the one in Victoria. I'll chalk that one up to nerves/rust.

Only been able to to watch from the middle of the second period on but really liking markstrom's mobility. He's not afraid to step out of the crease and make a play. Could back Fite one day, but nice to see he is playing with confidence.

Alien shutout

Shades of markus naslund with that wrister... At this point he deserves his 9 games, and should be far higher on the depth chart than virt or vey...

Pre-season stats

Miller: 3.83 GAA (6 GA in 94 minutes), 82.9 Sv% (29/35)
Markstrom: 0.51 GAA (1 GA in 118 minutes), 98.2 Sv% (55/56)

if Miller sees the pre-season stats...say goodbye to his level of confidence.

Miller's pocketing some pretty good $$$ this year and next regardless. I think his confidence is just fine.

Mccan more nhl ready than Virtanen

McCann more offensively ready as for jake he's more physically ready both should make it! As for vey he is shit will always be shit and thank god WD sat him most of the turd...knowing how the team will do things is they will give both rookies 9 games and send 1 or both back and vey keeps his job even tho he shouldn't!
