Talent Analysis
The Wakaw, Saskatchewan native is of average size and weight, but delivers above average results in most facets of the game. He's a leader and a grit player who inspires with a solid work ethic.
Future
Not dissimilar to fellow Kings prospect Bud Holloway, Vey can play in any situation and contribute to a roster. He will spend the 2009-10 season back in the WHL and will need to work his way up the organizational ladder one rung at a time. As a new draftee, he is still years away from being considered for the NHL.
