Carol Schram: Vancouver Canucks Chris Higgins On Waivers for Buyout, Free-Agent Ideas As Chris Higgins is officially placed on waivers for the purposes of a buyout, the Canucks are rumoured to be circling free-agent candidates including Loui Eriksson, Mikkel Boedker, Darren Helm, Andrew Ladd and Thomas Vanek.

Eriksson and Boedker. Assuming we don't have a snowball's chance in hell at Stamkos.

Has there been any new on Gulutzan's replacement?? I thought I heard they were going to be conducting interviews in Buffalo.

There's a reason Eriksson didn't get signed. JB & Co need to decide how long they want to be handcuffed for, if at all. I'm okay with the later.

So who do you want Carol?

As from last blog.

If Burrows does play 4th line with net front on 2nd pp unit. Is what it is.

Im going camping off the grid, going to be interesting coming back to a new team and to see what's happened. I'm hoping for no or minimal signings for minimal term, with the exception of Stamkos. Are we a team that can win it all by bringing any other player? I think not. Another top-10 pick next year, another year of growing pains will be good for the long-term IMO. It's not about cheering for losses, it's about setting goals with a longer view. The cupboards aren't bare, but they are far from full. I hope we just got our 1d of the future, we need a centerman!

I willing to bet that they all end up with Las Vegas.

"I was not happy and I’m still not happy about that,” Bergevin said. “The league is looking into it.”

Bergevin, in fact, filed a complaint with the league after Benning’s appearance on TSN 1040 AM, during which he was asked about Subban and said: “I think there’s lots of teams who have reached out to him (Bergevin) to find out what it would take to complete a deal of that magnitude. We are one of the teams who have talked to him.

“He crossed the line,” Bergevin said. “I don’t know where the line was crossed but he definitely crossed the line. It can’t happen.”

From last blog. What a loser statement. If you don't know where the line was crossed, how can you be sure that he definitely crossed it?

Justin Schultz not qualified by Penguins, not a major suprise, He'll go UFA.

Stanley cup winning, puck moving defenceman that can QB the power play. Sign Shultz and we can finally put Juolevi on the trade block for help up front.

Oh I forgot about this phenomenon, my bad. I'll get on board.

Vanek still has gas/talent 4x4, he can score 50 with the Sedins!

When Edmonton first signed him their fans said he was the next Paul Coffey. Some guys just take some extra time to develop.

Wow. Iceland.
