What on earth??? Why do you think I'm implying that??
Seriously though, the vets on that Canuck Roster, Sedin twins aside, aren't really any good anymore. And with the way the new NHL is now trending towards treating vets who are north of 30 and are on the downside of their career AND needing new contracts, that should be of some concern to a player who seems to be a real shadow of his former self. Because it's very possible Chris Higgins will need to look for alternative leagues to play in either next year or 2 years from now if this lesser player is now what Higgins is at this point.
As it is, there are many former NHL has beens & wannabes playing in the KHL & Switzerland, so it's not like that's a terrible secondary option.
