C/L Chris Higgins (65)
Phoenix receives:
PHX 2013 3rd round pick
The Professor's been a solid two-way contributor for us as a versatile forward with some leadership ability, but he makes a lot of money for a third-line centre and we don't have room to give him more ice time. Our depth needs to get more cost-effective to be able to keep our star players signed and we do have a few internal options to replace Higgins in the lineup, so this deal makes a lot of sense for us. We wish Mr. Higgins the best of luck with his new organization, and welcome back the draft pick used to re-acquire Max Le Sieur.

Phoenix approves this trade. Always a pleasure, Mike.
