Vesey is a $2,275,000 cap hit.
- VanHockeyGuy

Did capologist Rick Dhaliwal give you that info?

Regardless of what happens. Vesey makes 900k, is younger than our other bottom 6, and is signed for a cap hit more reasonable and relative to his spot in the lineup compared to what we are used to (Beagle, LE, Rousell, Motte).

I'll take more veseys, macewewns, hawryluks, Michealis's, bailey's, etc over older and expensive pylons any day.

He might be in the line up today. They are verifying his working papers and then will make a decision .

Is he American on a work visa? I guess there’s some paperwork to go from one employer to another in that case.

I don't think Motte should be on your list of pylons. He's pretty feisty.

That makes sense then. Hopefully it’s a straightforward process.

Drance is doing some serious Vesey slurping...

I’m told Vesey will be driving to meet the club in Ottawa, making him available immediately from a #Canucks’ perspective.

Nice bit of opportunistic problem solving for Vancouver here, regardless of what you think of Vesey:

Jimmy Vesey is a competent, NHL-level middle-six forward (something the #Canucks don’t have many of) on a value deal who should be available to join the club at half the speed of an AHL recall.

Nice get, actually, and perhaps a sign of some modest, enhanced flexibility?

That makes sense then. Hopefully it’s a straightforward process.

The car drive from Tor to Ott is 4 hr 11 min so under 5 hrs . No quarantine required.

- Makita

Who’s opinions should we listen to? Are there media, or spokespeople who we should trust, and others we should ignore? Should I dismiss, for example, Ruby’s opinion because he never posts a link; or Marwood’s opinion because he hits the woodpile; or your opinion because you listen to Australian radio over the internet?

Hes anything but a pylon, but I didn't say he was. Does motte make more money than I think he's worth, a little, but I was more so referring to our older bottom 6 who are completely useless and make a ton of money.

Beagle, sutter, LE, roussel were mainly who I was referring too. Motte at 1.3 is fine, but the range of salary in what they bring in with vesey is what we want to see, not 3 mill, 4 mill, 6 mill, and 3 mill

Sorta, in the context of your follow up paragraph to the players you listed in parentheses. But I'm no English major, maybe K-man could help.

I'll move along.

For those wondering what the Jimmy Vesey acquisition by Canucks does to Loui Eriksson, more pertinent question may be: What does it mean for Antoine Roussel?

To get Vesey and his $900k hit on the roster, Canucks have moved Loui Eriksson moved to the taxi squad and Justin Bailey is now officially on LTIR (he became eligible last week anyway).

And if Motte plays tonight, they'll need to make another roster move.

Regardless of what happens. Vesey makes 900k, is younger than our other bottom 6, and is signed for a cap hit more reasonable and relative to his spot in the lineup compared to what we are used to (Beagle, LE, Rousell, Motte).

Vesey is going to score tonight and Benning will extend him with a 4x4 contract and he will never score again. #CanuckWay

900k?

If Jimmy Vesey starts driving from Toronto to Ottawa at an average speed on 80 km/h and the distance is 389 km, accounting for an additional 15 minutes of traffic delay, will he make it in under 5 hours?!?! #Canucks

Revamping the bottom 6 was obviously coming at some point. Vesey when playing a full 80 game sched puts up decent numbers. Solid move by JB.

Regardless to what "gang" you belong to (still (frank)ing stupid that gangs are even being thrown around on this site). 900k and younger is the direction you want to go for the bottom 6. I'm sorry, LE at 6 in the press box, rousell and Beagle each making 3 million for minimal contributions. It's a big reason we are not better in the standings, our bottom 6 sucks

Vesey is going to score tonight and Benning will extend him with a 4x4 contract and he will never score again. #CanuckWay

If vesey pans out, and they give him a minimal tyler motte type aav contract instead of overpaying for some older ufa in free agency, I'll take it and be happy with it.
