70seven Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Those saying hes worth a draft pick.... no, no hes not. keep in mind this is a salary capped out league and giving up an asset to take on a player like Higgy for that 2.5M cap hit over the rest of this year and next is not going to happen. only way the Canucks get ANYTHING back is by eating salary in the deal. My bet is Higgins will be put on waivers and sent to Utica where hell go to play in front of friends, family, and in an amazing atmosphere. Its likely hell have his contract bought out in the offseason. Good luck to you and yours Chris! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insomniac604 Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 We've been trying to trade him for 2.5 seasons now. The only difference is that now, JB had to explain why he would be a healthy scratch until the TD. Then probably thrown on waivers. Due to our roster size and impending IR returns, my guess is he's gunning for a pick. If we retain salary maybe a 3rd or 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

messier's_elbow Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 4 hours ago, WHL rocks said: Top 5 pick here we come. Even though Higgins hasn't done a whole lot on the ice lately, to me this move also signals Canucks mgmt announcing they are moving some veterans at the deadline for picks and prospects. I think Aqua has given his go ahead to write off the season and get a top draft pick. Wishful thinking maybe but seems reasonable, otherwise why not wait till the trade deadline. They've made the decision to bring in more youth. God I hope so. If we get a late 1st or early 2nd for Vrbata or Hamhuis I'll be very happy with management.

Alflives Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Just now, chilliwiggins said: according to sportstrac his contract had in his 2 remaining seasons is a modified no trade clause so depending on the details cant that protect him from being allowed to be shipped to the minors? Nope. He can be put on waivers, then shipped down if he clears. A vet like Higgins would rather stay in the big league, so he will waive to play anywhere. I think it's No Movement Clauses that mean no move anywhere, including the minors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaHoneyBadger Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 In the MLB they usually release the team list. Is there a way to find out an NHL players list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Higgins choice is a trade to any NHL team that might want him ( and I doubt any do) or going to Utica, I think he is expanding his list to all 29 teams. There Higgin's list: all clubs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHL rocks Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 1 hour ago, DeNiro said: Because that's not how the process typically goes. The GM finds a list of interested teams and presents them to the player, then they negotiate a return. Not necessarily, It's pretty common for an agent to be involved in finding a suitable trade partner. Here's a simple Google search, shows how common this is. https://www.google.ca/?gws_rd=cr&ei=9AaTVpj8HIHGmwHgnKfYAw#q=nhl+agent+given+permission+to+trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canucks Curse Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Burrows and Miller need to go (thats 10.5 schmill right there- I am sorry but in a cap era, you cannot have 10 mill that just sits around with minimal contribution) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
