Linden Vey, who went to the Kings in fourth round (No. 96 overall), just completed his second full season with Medicine Hat of the WHL. Vey, a right wing, totaled 24 goals and 48 assists in 71 games. He is 5-foot-11, 179 points and turns 18 next month.

Hockey's Future says, ``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.''
