Jimmy Vesey was claimed off waivers on Wednesday by the Vancouver Canucks, which was a smart move by an organization that is severely lacking in depth.
It’s safe to say that the Canucks have one of, if not the worst bottom-six forward group in the entire NHL, and Vesey will be an upgrade on just about every depth player that Vancouver has.
