Love it!

Not the most explosive deals, but solid, and we have up nothing.

[carson005]

CoHo will be sent down

Did we have two 3rd round picks? A 3rd is going in each deal.

[sfgiants5518]

That's some nice depth right there. Thank god Cody is going to manitoba.

Chris Higgins goes from Florida to Vancouver for a third-round pick in 2013 and prospect Evan Oberg

Nvm. Its a 3rd in 2013.

Too bad we are still deadline losers considering Raymond is still in the top 6.

Higgins can play on the 2nd,3rd, or 4th really

Higgins is not a 2nd liner anymore. 5 years ago yes. Now hes a 3rd liner.

[carson005]

He's fast and can shoot, and he might catch fire with Kesler.

TSN guys are talking about how AV used to coach Maxim and used to use him to shut down Crosby, and how Maxim was a huge reason the Habs beat Washington in the playoffs.

Ducks send Max Lapierre to Canucks along with a prospect in exchange for third-rounder in 2012 plus Joel Perreault

Wonder who the prospect we get is. Probably someone ****** but getting prospects is always fun.

[BlueJayFanDan]

I hope Higgins can play on our second line. Don't get me wrong, I really like Higgins. Hell I overdrafted him in the re-draft because I like him so much. But at this point hes just not what he once was.

[carson005]

I agree, but worst case scenario, hes a very good 2 way player, whose a decent scorer, going from a crappy team to a really good team.

What's Higgins stats this year?
