I am really beginning to like Vancouver's rebuild.

[Sensfanjosh]

Turning Vey into Myers helps lol

[LeanMachine]

Nice deal guys

[Fraser]

Been a long time coming. Any of you previous 4 or so Myers owners since I came into this league are well aware of how long I've been chasing after this guy. Mik knows this story pretty well too hahaha

[Matthew]

This long and you got him for a good deal too.

[kyuss]

Lol i could see this one coming from long distance

[kimmer]

But like... Why would you overpay this badly for myers?... Does he even have 2 pts on the season yet?

[Matthew]

Would have paid that much in 2 seconds*

[bills09]

Martin is pretty even with myers at this point obviously myers has upside but any points lost of a myers resurgence will be covered by vey and then some

Paul what it came down to for me was despite his two goal effort the other day. I don't see Vey staying in the Canucks lineup when healthy. And longterm its getting hard to see where he will fit in. Everyone in the bottom 6 is outplaying him, and that 2nd line isn't getting broken up. And with Horvat emerging, Shinkaruk and Jensen waiting in the wings, I personally see Vey as the odd man out for a long time.

He's still a player that I see having an NHL future. But its hard for me to see where that would be with the Canucks, and because of that I felt it was a good time to move him for me.

I figure despite the obvious production/age factor, you might have had a personal insight related reasoning for this. Cuz its certainly not a bbkl-friendly deal. U just lose outright. But if u stick by ur judgement call let's hope u are right
