El_Capitan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Before you shoot the messenger... "Flames1084" is confirmed to be Chris Higgins' brother on HFBoards (made the account when he was on CGY), and occasionally shares some insider info.. here's what he just shared: Posted by him on this thread: http://hfboards.hock...1392141&page=18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good price if true. I'll wait for something more official though. Higgs is a great team guy and a very versatile heart and sole player. Best player on the ice tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaMash Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Part of me feels like the team had to make a choice between Raymond and Higgins with the cap going down, just my personal thought. If this is true, I think this season is the last we see of Raymond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I know its just a LTNC but whats with Gillis handing these out like candy?! Whatever happened to his talk about not giving non core players NTC?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallstreetamigo Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 ANOTHER no trade clause and too much term is brutal. Higgins is a decent role player but honestly 4 years is way too long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOB for MVP Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Sounds legit to me (not sarcastic) Hoping the deal is true, Higgs has done well in Vancouver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Solid deal, but I think the term is a bit too long. 2-3 years would be better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everybody Hates Raymond Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Guys, cut Samir some slack. He messed up calling the trade for Luongo like twice. If you had a connection, wouldn't you like to be the first to break the news? He did break the Booth and Hodgson trades, so he obviously isn't sourceless. Time and place, folks. Time and place.

JE14 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Good player but man Gillis sure loves throwing around NTCs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RunningWild Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Believe he's the one who said Higgy had an infection last yr as well - well before the public knew. I don't like the term or limited NTC, but like the cap hit. 4 yrs for another 30 yr old is not my idea of a great contract. He's a great versatile player, but his underlying numbers have fallen through the floor this yr. They're really bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck or Die Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Great deal if true. Higgins deserves it. I loved watching him play for this team. He busts his ass out there. I hope this is an attempt to secure a solid third line that features Higgins, who can also slot up to the second if need be. I also wonder what becomes of Raymond if this is true. I mean, with the emrgence of Hansen, Raymond seems like the odd man out here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Who cares if it's 4 years? He'll be a good third liner until he's 34. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
