Had a bad camp, but probably should have made the team last year, IMO. It's probably less of him wanting out thing and maybe more of a he knows he's been claimed by at least one team thing.
i dont think claims are made public until the end of the period to prevent teams from gaming the process

Do you think information might be made available to agents at least? I think it's certainly a possibility, especially if the team that claims the player has first waiver priority.
sorry, i meant to say i think its kept from all teams, players, agents to prevent them from gaming it. i think you send your claims in, the nhl hoards them, processes the winner and doles out the player

Enjoy retirement, boys.
That's true; however, Canucks Twitter contains some of the most embittered, miserable buttholes on the planet.

It is, good for Utica and good though it comes with a small cap penalty. The only downsides are the loss of face having to waive him and the fact they could just have signed him to his 2-way $750K QO. Hopefully the terrible contract scares off the other teams.
Corrado finishes up their D nicely. Utica should be playoff bound if those two stay down.

Brandon Sutter, 1st line winger. On a steal of a contract for a 1RW.
It's still too early to say anything definitive, but early returns on Benning's drafting is top notch.

I think Stanton is more physical/tougher than Sbisa as well. And categorically better at everything besides speed.

About time to sack him as GM then and demote him to scout. He can be GM again on draft days so long as he promises not to make any trades or signings.

Stanton is too slow for the current system, he would have been a great partner for Hutton if he was a even just a little bit faster. Sbisa is a good fit physically and stylistically just prone to incurable stupidity.
-confirmation that Benning is a drafting virtuoso
-possible better returns for JB made picks/prospects in our system cuz other GMs now know that he's... see above
Only so many PP QB positions. With Hutton onboard the next one should be a righty. If Jimbo can get them at will with a 5th imagine what he'll do with a 2nd or two.
Tougher I'd agree. I don't have any complaints with either's physicality. Sbisa is better at playing hockey though. I mean Sbisa is a guy that put up ppg in his last season in junior, and put up ~ppg over his 14 career AHL games. Stanton on the other hand has had 3 seasons of 73+ games in the AHL and never managed more than 25 points.
As MS has highlighted elsewhere, if you're going to make it in the NHL you don't spend 200+ games in the AHL.

His forward resume is a whole lot better than his dman resume.

...trade them for a 30 year old fourth liner, and sign him to third line money for eight years?

If teams were able to claim players for their farm team on waivers, i'd think Vey's contract would scare teams off. We take for granted this organization's willingness to bury money in the minors like that...1 million bucks on a 1-way. There are a lot of organizations where that's a non-starter.
But since that's not the case...
I can't really see it being much of a factor. If there were a team out there thinking about putting in a claim on Vey, they're going to have to be doing it because they think he can play on their NHL roster. At which point, a million bucks a schmillion bucks whatever, it's not wildly difficult to stomach at all for an nhl roster player. If you think that's what Vey is for your club, enough to put in that claim and keep him on your roster.
I think Vey's inability to take even a small step forward this summer is what will really scare teams off.
