You're ridiculously drunk off Bennings kool-aid, it's getting pretty funny
Has nothing to do with Benning or Kool-aid. Has everything to do with the kid's numbers and his fit on the 3rd line.
It's not like a kid who has 5 points in 18 games in the NHL is a bust or a boon. He can play the game, has the ability, and his numbers when compared to even a guy like Kesler, not to say that he'll be the next Kesler, gives one the impression that he can play in the NHL moreso than other prospects who haven't played a single pro game against men.
By the way, Kesler, had 5 point in 23 games as a 3rd liner when he started with the Nucks in 03-04 and 23 points in the next full year. Maybe Vey puts up more, maybe less, but at this point, I am going to put forth that if he puts in a full 82 game season that Vey will be around the same point mark. Will that ensure a successful career? No. However, I believe from what i've seen of him that he can do that.
