Higgins out during trade freeze hmmmmm

First of hearing he is available. Interesting
- VANTEL

I think it was a passing tidbit in Eks blog. Could have been tsn too. Only 2 sites I tend to go.
Maybe check dallas blogs for more info.

IF JV has been a cancer like his removal from the team may suggest, its possible to move him for nichuskin. Both bullish physical scoring threats ...may make sense. We'd give up a fresher player but get one further along development wise and an absolute bull at that too. Lets just hope the russian does not have a drinking problem

straight across with these too perhaps

JV a cancer

....However, I'm hearing that in order to accomplish a "major blueline upgrade", the team might have to put Valeri Nichushkin in play along with at least one of the young defensemen in the system.

Ok. We both know Eks track record

JV a cancer

the way the team tanked.....then getzlaf repeatedly makes jv his female dog with ZERO answer from the team all game. Doesnt sound like a guy they want to go to bat for.

Sent down to farm and immediately loaned out to juniors after JB previously said he would stay, then Valk reporting he's told he will go back to junior after the worlds.

Sounds like they are removing a problem is you ask me. Team has played better and more cohesive without him too....so yes, that may well be the case.

yes yes we do.

but we can dream too a bit. Not too ridiculous but a bit

What player goes to bat for others on this team? and Getzlaf hit him once and put him out of the game, he also hit McCann with no one going to bat, is McCann a problem as well?

Wow Bear Gee 3 games in a row.

He was on JV a few times, not just once.

He was said to be a pure skill guy yet he's getting goals in the greasy areas like a power forward. Awesome, we'll take it!

That's where 90% of them are scored 5on5...in those greasy hard areas.

Trading Garrison for Baerstchi isn't looking too bad now.
