No matter whom you ask, Vancouver Canucks fans did not understand why Linden Vey was in the lineup for 41 games last season. Worse than that, Vey got regular power-play ice time and simply did not seem like the offensive player he can be in the American Hockey League. Now that his contract expires, GM Jim Benning will have to make a decision: do what everyone thinks would be best, or do what head coach Willie Desjardins would likely vote for.
To be fair, the Canucks struggled with injuries all season long, and there are not too many players down in Utica who show more promise than Vey.
