Canucks exploring trade options for Higgins
The Vancouver Canucks took an unusual step on Sunday to try and drum up interest in forward Chris Higgins.
Benning: “Really High” Asking Prices For Drouin, Johansen
Vancouver Canucks GM Jim Benning was on Vancouver’s TSN 1040 on Tuesday morning.
“I’ve talked to both general managers about both players. The prices for both players are really high. From our perspective, maybe we don’t have the prospect depth at certain positions that they’re looking to fill to make those types of trades.”
Could the Stars target Ericksson or Edler?
If Boston is open to it and hasn’t re-signed Loui Eriksson, I think he would be a player that would be a good fit as a rental. (although making that deal after the Seguin trade might be tough to pull off). If San Jose or Vancouver is struggling, I’d inquire about Brent Burns or Alex Edler and put up some of the young guns as bait. That’s just barstool talk, but now I can say that I said it first if it ever happens.
Is Bieksa going to the Sharks?
Sounds like Sharks are happy to extend Bieksa's contract. Good fit for him and family. Sharks and Canucks still working on details of trade.
