Racist.

I wish MG would get this over with. I hate the idea of paying someone 5.3 M and they dread the thought of being here.

It's actually $6.7 million, 5.3 is just the cap hit.

How many of these kids are gonna get invited to main camp?

First three, the rest go back to AHL or junior IMO.

If Jensen makes the team does that make Booth or Higgins expendable?

If Gaunce gets invited it certainly won't be on the strength of this camp (thus far). He's been outplayed by half the roster.

Higgins might be expendable now.

I feel the same way but man that won't look good on Gillis's resume . Sign a 4 year contract and get rid of them in first or second year.

I hear you but to be perfectly honest I couldn't give less of a sh!t about the optics around Gillis' resume. Situations change, players change, the league changes, why can't the decisions a GM makes be subject to change?

Anyway, Higgins might be utilized to great effect in the Torts system so we'll see what comes. All I'm saying is if we're (still) looking for that top 6 playmaker I'd consider Higgins to be available as part of the package.

Guys with contracts like his, Hossa, Zetterberg, Luongo etc, will always be difficult to move under the current cba.

Hossa and Zetterberg have won a cup. Lu hasn't

What the (frank) does that have to do with being tradable?

The backup is back in town!!!!

This guy is going to be your starter after the 20 game mark!!!



Should be able to lead you to a top 5 pick

Our backup is once again better than the Leafs primary goaltending

we just signed him to a four year extension......

They signed Lu to a 12 year deal and tried to trade him in year two, I don't think they care. If someone plays better than you, you're outta here!!!

Higgins is a nice player. Signed at a reasonable rate considering the money tossed around this summer. I just think him and booth fill similar roles if booth can't be a 25 goal man.
And if Jensen makes the team we r in big trouble
