Canucks acquire Maxim Lapierre & Chris Higgins

[carson005]

11 goals & 12 assist in 48 games

Which is a slightly better goal scoring pace than Raymond

[BlueJayFanDan]

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.

Yeah, we shall see.

Higgins has sucked in Calgary, NY, and in Florida giving up a third for that piece of gutter trash was not worth it. He should have been waived.

I wonder if were gonna demote Torres or Hansen to 4th line, or just stick Higgins there with glass and lapierre.

[GrkGawdofWalkz]

I do love Lapierre.

[NUCK-U]

I like both deals, nothing earth-shattering but we didn't really need to do much. CoHo will be a nice call-up if we need him. I'm assuming Lapierre will centre the 4th line, he adds a lot of grit, just hope he can stay out of the penalty box. Higgins and Glass as 4th line wingers? I am concerned with Raymond's toughness in the playoffs, Kesler is taking a beating as well. He needs some help.

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.

Tamb yes, maybe not Oresk, I think one of Higgins or Maxim is injured, I don't remember which, and Oresk has been playing well.

[carson005]

Yeah Higgins is out 7-10 days with a broken finger

[GrkGawdofWalkz]

Yeah Higgins is out 7-10 days with a broken finger

Oh, yeah and he sucks.

[carson005]

No one is saying Higgins is the guy who is gonna win us the cup, he fits in well though, hes a good 2 way player and can play on the 2nd line, 3rd line, or 4th line.
