Vey was acquired by the KHL's Barys Astana on Sunday, the Calgary Herald reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turning 26 years old later this month, Vey was quite productive with AHL Stockton -- a minor-league affiliate of the Flames -- this past season, dialing in 15 goals and 40 helpers over 61 contests. However, he only made his way into four NHL games in 2016-17, and decided to take his talents overseas despite garnering a qualifying offer from the parent club; Calgary will still hold his NHL rights.

Vey was reassigned to AHL Stockton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vey made four appearances during this stint in the NHL, but failed to record a point in those contests while averaging just over 11 minutes of ice time per night. The 25-year-old will likely be on the Flames short list of potential recalls when injuries come up throughout the remainder of the season, but probably shouldn't be expected to add much in terms of fantasy production.

Vey was recalled from AHL Stockton on Wednesday, Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vey has been outstanding in the early going for the Flames' minor league affiliate, racking up three assists and six goals over eight games played. The 25-year-old forward will look to reinforce a Flames' offense that ranks 12th in the league in goals scored (35).

Vey was demoted to AHL Stockton on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Vey, who survived the initial round of cuts Monday, will start the season in the minors. Last year, the center logged 41 contests with the Canucks, after struggling with injuries throughout the season. Given the depth down the middle in Calgary, the 25-year-old seems unlikely to get a lot of ice time in the majors, severely limiting his fantasy value.

Vey cleared waivers Saturday and continues to battle for a spot with the Flames, Kristen Odland of the Calgary Sunreports.
EDGE Analysis
Not only did Vey pass through waivers unclaimed, but he survived the latest round of roster trimming by the Flames that saw four players sent down to AHL Stockton, and one (Lauri Korpikoski) released from his tryout contract. The 25-year-old winger had a highly productive junior career (highlighted by 116 points over 69 games in his final season), but has just 44 points to his name in 134 NHL contests. 15 of those came in 41 games with Vancouver in 2015-16, so there's an outside shot at some fantasy value here if Vey lands a role with the big club.

Vey was placed on waivers Friday, Wes Gilbertson of Postmedia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vey played for the Canucks last season, producing four goals and 11 assists in 41 games. However, with teams forced to slim their rosters before Opening Night, the Flames' apparently considered the 25-year-old expendable. The Saskatchewan native will now be available to be picked up by another organization.

Vey (upper body) penned a one-year, two-way deal with the Flames on Tuesday, Dean Molberg of 960 the Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vey missed the opening of 2015-16 due to injury and was an inconsistent starter the rest of the way for Vancouver. The center could struggle for ice time next season as Calgary has solid depth up the middle, but could certainly be utilized on the wings. Factoring in his meager 15 points, fantasy owners are unlikely to be lining up to draft the 24-year-old.

Vey (upper body) was not tendered a qualifying offer from the Canucks by Monday's deadline, meaning he's set to become an unrestricted free agent July 1, The Province reports.
EDGE Analysis
Vey has fallen on hard times. According to the report, his father and father's mistress were found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder on June 5 of this year, with the intended victims being Vey's mother and the mistress' husband -- the actual incident dates back to 2013. The report suggests that Vey -- who produced 15 points in 41 games last season -- could benefit from a change of scenery in Europe, though it remains to be seen if that's the direction he'll go.

Vey (upper body) will be forced to sit out Wednesday's tilt with Edmonton.
EDGE Analysis
Wednesday marks the second straight game Vey has missed through injury. The 24-year-old forward has failed to make much of a mark with the Canucks this season (four goals and 11 assists in 41 games) and will become a restricted free agent following the conclusion of the season.

Vey (upper body) will not play in Monday's game against the Kings.
EDGE Analysis
Vey initially sustained his upper-body injury Friday against Anaheim and the organization has yet to shed light on the severity of his situation. Nevertheless, the next opportunity for the 24-year-old to return will be against the Oilers on Wednesday. In his place, Alex Burrows will see added time on the ice Monday.
