DeNiro Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Guess they opted out of a longer term deal. Could be risky if he's on the 2nd line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kakanucks Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 So guess they were waiting for the Bonino-Sutter trade to get done first. That was really fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in one of Friesen, Grenier or Jones up front, and one of Biega, Fedun or Pedan to get a callup on the blue line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Terrifies me that Higgins could be back on there That would make no sense. As it stands now, there's no space on the roster for Baertschi and Vey to slot in with Higgins here.
