Not be paying Prust, higgins and Dorsett 7.5 million bucks and instead having players that are more effective for the money? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Higgy always wiping his visor with the bottom of his jersey... takes any chance he gets to flash those abs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could only give you one plus Benning the second coming of captain coat tails Dave Nonis. He's got plug love tattoo on his knuckles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(1) Prust wasn't Benning's signing, and considering Kassian's problems, Benning got good value (2) Benning didn't sign Higgins to a four year deal (3) Dorsett is being paid for what he does in practice and off the ice... he's the type of player the Oilers never had when they kept getting all those high draft picks.

Higgins without his beard - I can't even imagine how that would look. Need to go back and take a look during his days with Montreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dorsett must teach the young kids to be bigger grinders. Like how he has mentored Virtanen so well. The kid looks like a weaker version of Dorsett.

coolboarder Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 I would rather to buy out Higgins if there's no taker for him in a trade deadlines. Whatever Higgins on a line, they can't sustain any offense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-NucksFan Posted January 2, 2016 Share Posted January 2, 2016 Funny how Kesler had commented that Bieksa will likely get a better reception on returning here than he did, seemed surprised at the boo's he gets um Kes, the fans know while you asked for a trade to 'one' team handcuffing any dealing the Canucks could do, Bieksa wanted to stay and help the team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Higgins was inherited, Benning didn't give him the contract and at the time it was fair. Now well he's just not very effective and the only hope is he is moved at the deadline as a guy who can provide a team with 'veteran help'. The only way we can move him is if he plays. 2. Dorsett plays his role fine. He also brings a great deal of leadership to the team and Bo has mentioned that Dorsett has made a significant impression on him because of his work ethic. The Canucks say he is the hardest working player day in day out on the team (in practice and games). When you are a team in transition you need players like that to teach young players who have starred in junior how hard they have to work at this level - that is why he was signed. It was a smart decision. We can all nitpick $ but the reality is you need players like him. 3. You're really going to argue the Prust deal after seeing what's gone on with Kassian? It was addition by subtraction and he provides toughness when and if we need it 4. Just having more money available doesn't mean you'd sign players - most of the good ones have contracts buddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He traded a draft pick too. He traded a pick and a troubled asset for a big salary. 2) True, but given how he's been dishing people with NTC's you'd think he'd try to move this turkey. 3) We're on pace for a high draft pick. Doesn't look like it's helping much. 4) Miller for 3 years, for 6? Really? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
