Just to be clear, I don't dislike Higgins and don't necessarily want to see him gone. I actually like the guy. However - Benning seems to be committed to Prust (at least for this year) and Dorsett, and so IF a kid like Virtanen, McCann, etc., makes the team after the 9th game of this season, I think Higgins is the most likely to be shipped.
I should have worded this post (that turned into a thread) a little better. I should have said, "Will the Canucks be noticeably worse up front if Kenins replaced Higgins, or would their be a negligible difference? (especially if Benning then used Higgins, and packaged him off with Sbisa for an "overpaid" $5-7 million dollar defenseman, who has a bad contract, but would at least be worthy enough to play on our Top 4 D......unlike Sbisa who appears to be a poop stain in the under pants of society).
