Time to waive Higgins, hear me out first

Ever since Higgin's came back I don't know what has happened to this team. I get he is a locker room guy and the team probaly enjoys his jokes and laughter he brings on the road? But honestly Benning needs to take a example from the Hawks who waived Bickel, a guy who helped them win the stanely cup! 

Positives: Call up Griener a 6'5 guy who uses his speed or call up gaunce. Also, with Green who knows maybe Higgins can regain his role as a decent checker because rite now he looks out of place on this team

Negative- some team claims him but ask yourself realistically what Higgins would  fetch  on the open market as his value looks like its sky rocket low. 

It's a win-win situation just waive Higgin's already and give Griener a shot.

Desi you don't waive a guy like Higgins. You wait till the deadline and hope a playoff bound team takes him for a 6th or 7th rounder. If you waive him players around the league notice how you treat your veteran players and they shy away from signing with your team all things equal. 

Also this team needs a vet like him to support the kids thru these tough times. And there aren't many better options in the AHL.

he was being a vet before rite now he looks lost and confused; the guy needs to get his game going again and besides whats so bad if a team like Toronto picks him up? Teams always waive there players, eg Stoll, Bickel, that defence in SJ who was waived earlier this year forgot his name

No team will pick him up, that's why you don't waive him and embarrass one of your long time veterans. It would be different if we just signed him 1 or 2 years ago but he's a long time Canuck. You don't do that.

Linden mentioned at the Summer Summit that they tried to trade Higgins but nobody wanted to take his contract.
What has he done this year that would make a team change their mind? Taking him for this season plus next year for $2.5m is too high a risk. The only chance we have to trade him is at next season's deadline. He is going nowhere this year.

Sky rocket low?
