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. I am happy to see that with Higgs possibly getting traded or possibly waived will shut alot of people up... great hockey sense. PROPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In other news canucks working to get rid of higgins, likely won't play another game in Canucks Uniform. He's playing tonight. And he won't be waived... he'll be traded. Maybe they'll swallow some of his contract, but he has some worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. The player is now away form the team until a resolution is found ( he is moved ). He is not coming back to the Cancuks and whether it was right or wrong but how things have transpired publicly and the report of Higgins away from the team he will be moved shortly and don't count out Waivers as an option. The team has options they can call up or fit into the lineup, yes Higgins is a movable asset and the team could likely get a later pick for him. To say others around the league would see how Vancouver has treated Higgins by Waiving him and it would be a negative to the team. No, not the case.

*Buzzsaw* Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 As of now, he's listed in the lineup on the website... maybe that's changing? In any case, I doubt if he'll be waived... He's worth at least 1 million... Canuck's will need to eat some of the salary though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have more info now including the fact canucks have agreed to retain salary in a potential trade. If he is unmovable even now then u have to waive him. In a perfect world u wouldn't but don't see any other solution now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckledraggin Posted January 12, 2016 Share Posted January 12, 2016 http://capfriendly.com/ There are 14 teams that have the cap space for Higgins. I just don't see how he goes through. Giant contracts with questionable people attached to them is one thing, but good players with bad statistics can be had for nothing I guess.
