Bergevin reminds me of the cash for gold guy. Always looking to make a penny off a dollar.

 

[nyhabsfan]

DSP for Higgins at 1/2 salary.... always liked him as a Habs, top 9 winger.

matured since his younger days a Hab.

Good skater and wins a lot of 50-50 pucks which we don't have a lot off.

Patches --- Galchenyuk --- Gallagher
Higgins --- Plekanec --- Carr
Eller-----DD ----- Ghetto
Flynn---Mitchell --- Bryon
Fleshman

DSP doesn't bring anything to the table even though he's younger.... would be an upgrade even if it's only for a year or two.

Higgins is done.

 

[Weber Fan]

MB should call all the gm and ask what can he gets for Eller + Tinordi...

 

[Draft]

Why would we get rid of one of our best young bottom-six forwards for Higgins?

We have no need for another player like Higgins. He can't cut it in the top-6 and he's not a big upgrade on anyone we have on the bottom two lines, we don't need him.

Higgins in the top-six lol.

Yep, seems like a Bergevin move...

 

[Apoplectic Habs Fan]

Higgins is a fourth liner these days.

MTL is barely a playoff team without Price and closer to bottom feeder.

No rentals, no wasting picks, no trading unless its top 6 with term.

Too much uncertainty around Price to waste prospects and picks unless you get term

Worst case which may best, Price heals, therrien is fired, youth get bigger roles and maybe get a good draft pick

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Higgins used to be a very good 3rd line winger.. His ratio is about 17g per 82 games with the Canucks in the last 4 seasons, excluding this season. That's definitely 3rd line material.

I haven't seen much of him but his stats this season are brutal. Has he slowed down that much?

That said, MB should focused on the top 6 not the bottom 6.

Higgins's ice time in Vancouver were of a 1st/2nd line player. His stats are inflated for playing with the Sedins.

Sure the return of Price will be welcome, but Condon has been pretty good lately. The main problem lies with our top 6 and the way the current roster is being used. This team needs a spark. The way MB is handling the situation kind of shows that he doesn't have faith in his team and the players may see it that way too.

For real?

From what I saw, all of his goals of last season weren't assisted by any of the Sedins.

And I thought the Sedins mostly played with Vrbata or Burrows in the last 4 years.

Condon hasn't outplayed many of his counterparts. He's been very average. Which should be the expectation.

Our problems are on deployment and strategy.

Vrbata managed his 30g without the sedins

 

[Habitant#1]

Dump Emelin for Higgins.

Higgins certainly didn't get 17 goals by himself.

16:25 and 19:10 are 2nd and 1st line minutes. He must have played with the twins a bit and especially Kesler.

 

[The Great Weal]

Why are we speculating Higgins? He`s one of the few non-habs that can`t hit the net.

 

[M.C.G. 31]

Dump Emelin for Higgins.

No thanks.

 

[SnapVirus]

Higgins today = DSP without the hitting part. He is usess.

Today was THE day to make a change. 4 days off. New coach or new player could have had time to practice and meet with the team.

That makes me believe that nothing will happen before at least the all-star break.

 

[No More Subban]

Bring back Higgins, the Kostitsyns and Perezhogin!!!

My thoughts exactly

I can picture MT and MB drooling right now.

 

[Beige Van]

MB is looking to get Cal O'Reilly from Buffalo for a 6th and Mike Brown from the Sharks for a 7th.

 

[Rosso Scuderia]

Higgins certainly didn't get 17 goals by himself.

Ok.. so I've made a quick research.

In 2012-2013(shortened season), Higgins had 10 goals, none assisted by the Sedin.
In 2013-2014, Higgins has 17 goals, 1 goal was assist by a Sedin, that's it.
In 2014-2015, Higgins has 12 goals, none of these goals were assisted by a Sedin.

Ok so, 1 assist by a Sedin in 39 goals. I didn't count the assist but kinda weird that you claim Higgins stats are inflated because he played with the Sedin yet he doesn't seem to need the Sedin to assist him in his goals.

And no Higgins certainly did not scored those 17 goals himself in 2013-2014 but he also didn't need the Sedin to help him score those goals.
