Depth Solutions: Canucks Pick Up Maxim Lapierre & Chris Higgins

What looked to be the second NHL trade deadline that MG would sit out, he pulled a few fast moves as the clock struck midnight. First Vancouver moved Joel Perrault and a 3rd rounder in 2011 2012 to Anaheim for Maxim Lapierre and prospect MacGregor Sharp and then tossed Evan Oberg and a 3rd rounder in 2011 2013 at what's left of Florida to extract Chris Higgins (and his broken thumb).
As capgeek tweeted, it likely spells the end of Cody Hodgson and Victor Oreskovich as the fourth line options. It's also quite possible Lapierre and Higgins aren't destined for the fourth line either.
So who the hell are these guys? Let's start with Lapierre (255GP, 35G, 37A, 72PTS, 221PIMS) who can play center or right wing and is one of those pesky agitator-types. He was just traded to Anaheim two months ago but Anaheim's moves today made him an easy casualty. Lapierre should be counted on for 5-10 minutes a game and a truckload of hitting (he was second on Montreal with 104 before he was traded). He'll yap but probably won't fight and expect an undisciplined penalty here and there. Assuming he meets mild expectations, his style of play should make him a quick fan favorite. Joel Perrault, meanwhile, wasn't in any future plans.
Like Lapierre, Higgins (397GP, 103G, 88A, 191PTS, 138PIMS) is also a former Hab who is currently injured and about 2-3 weeks away from returning. Higgins was part of the Gomez deal between Montreal and New York and was bundled with Aleš Kotalík in that still-laughable trade last season between Calgary and New York. With the Flames he was quietly a decent player, but wasn't re-signed. As a Panther this season, he hasn't accomplished much but was at least on the path back to his two-way self before being injured. The good news is that Higgins does represent a player who should be responsible, has some speed, can chip in on the PK and may even score a few times. The bad news is if he could do any of that with a micron of consistency he wouldn't have been moved four times in two years. Oberg's fallen on the depth charts anyway, so it's a reasonable gamble that can't really hurt the Canucks (or maybe this was Tallon's way of sending Steve Bernier back at us...just kidding!).
Lastly, MacGregor Sharp is a 25 year old center/left winger who was born in BC and played with Mason Raymond (2003-07 in Camrose-AJHL and Minn-Duluth-WCHA) as a dangerous one-two punch. A toss in, but an interesting prospect to keep an eye on.
Higgins is a UFA and Lapierre a RFA at the end of the season.

As a break down:
Higgins – 1.6 mil
Lapierre – .9 mil
Although where did the Canucks second 3rd rounder come from?

From canucks.com
Vancouver, B.C. – Vancouver Canucks President and General Manager Mike Gillis announced today that the Canucks have acquired left wing Chris Higgins from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenceman Evan Oberg and a 2013 3rd round pick.

Well all I know for sure is that the Canucks didn’t own two 3rd round picks in 2011 to trade away, so it’s either the 2012 or 2013

I look at it this way – Higgins and Lapierre are both guys who have been around the NHL for multiple years with fairly decent success. I’m happier with those guys being on the 4th line than guys like Oreo/Cody/Volpatti who are still on the NHL edge.

Completely acceptable gambles from Vancouver’s end. Oberg’s stock fell, Perrault wasn’t much to begin with and at least we didn’t part with any second rounders. Plus Lapierre is an RFA so may stick around a bit longer.
If Higgins can live up to his reputation, it’s a steal

What else was he gonna say? What’s your point anyway? No one ever argued with the fact that Hodgson could be sent down and brought back but by bringing in not one but two players they have sent the message loud and clear that Cody Hodgson won’t play for the Canucks barring injury. The coach has NO faith in him. So what exactly are you getting so smug about?
by Canuckelhead on Feb 28, 2011 2:53 PM PST up reply actions
I'm being smug cause you were a jerk to me
when I said they could send him down to get him playing time and maybe call him up again later in the year or for the playoffs as a spare forward. Then you went on a crusade against me and now Gillis is saying they are going to do pretty much exactly what I said I would do. If that isn’t reason to be smug, other than just being Canadian, I don’t know what is.

Actions speak louder then words
They aren’t saving him for the playoffs tho. Do you think Mike Gillis is going to say about his top prospect that the coach has NO faith in him and that they’d rather fill his spot with someone the coach knows, regardless of how much upside that player has?‘Cause that’s exactly what happened.
Also, I was never being any more of a jerk then you were. In fact at the end of the day I always try and “make nice” with you. Something that pains me when you decide to be a blowhard a few days later especially since you obviously missed the point entirely.

Nope not at all
it was you who missed the point. You accused me of trying to take both sides of the argument. You accused me of contradicting myself just to argue with you. Which I didn’t do. I said exactly what GMMG said today. Send him down let him play and he will be back if and when he is needed. That’s what I said and that is what is happening. You can spin it however you want. But I am entitled after the shit you wrote to be smug about it for a little while. And I am going to take an opportunity like that every time.

Fuck me you still don't get it do you
In one conversation I said send him down and let him play and then I said if he is needed we can call him up and then once the playoffs role around we can keep him around as a 13th forward. I never once said send him down and keep him up. I said send him down now and maybe bring him back up later if need be. I still don’t get how you don’t get that. It’s pretty simple stuff.

who dude
it’s not that the coach has no faith in him, it’s that the coach CORRECTLY knows that the fourth line is not where you put cody hodgson. So there’s no spot for him. You could be like all the handwringing geniuses that call into radio shows and post on CDC that he could go into raymond’s slot, but that’s just dumb…raymond’s slumping, but u don’t just give up on a player who’s been a key piece for a couple years after 10 or 20 games of slump. So what do you suggest we do with hodgson? Play him 4 minutes a game on the 4th or let him play 18 minutes a game in manitoba and have an asset that can easily be brought up in time of need? I kind of get tired of the ‘Blame AV for thinking about his other players when my favorite isn’t getting the ice time’ attitude.

MG says AV has a good relationship with Lapierre, having coached him in the Q (PEI Rocket) in 2003 and 2004.
So don't get violent and don't get caught with your head down, the night she stole the moon.
What GMMG said (part 1):
-players fill the roll we want from them or they don’t play
-AV’s past relationship with Lapierre a central reason they liked him
-wouldn’t lose anyone from their lineup no matter what “unless something that would dramatically improve our team”
-he’s happy to trade 3rd round picks because he sees those as a replacable by signing undrafted players (like sweatt, volpatti, burrows, tanev, etc)
-more important for CoHo to get big minutes so that if we do need him in the playoffs he’ll be ready
-we’re confident that MayRay will be the player we expect of him
-we wanted more experience and NHL quality players, that was the basis for our decisions, and our thought is any player of that description should be able to move up and down your lineup as needed
-it was difficult to get a feel through the process what the prices really were… prices were high throughout the day and wasn’t until near the end that prices were more manageable/reasonble
-higgins injury is not that serious from all accounts but won’t comment on length of time because team doctors need to see him
-if Higgins plays well he won’t be on the 4th line
by Beantown Canuck on Feb 28, 2011 1:49 PM PST reply actions
part 2
we were asked about CoSchneids, have been for 2 years, but he’s a core guy-we’re a first place team
-we were determined not to move anyone on our team
-Anaheim trade (Lapierre) was completed first
-Were not close to any “big” deals
-not his intention to trade Schneids or Hodgson regardless of the interest, and there was interest on both
-imagines it would be fun being a seller, but not something he would look forward to!
-most of all, he didn’t want to mess with a good team, good locker room, players who keep one another accountable
-doesn’t want to comment on what other teams have done
-says they have plans and options if injuries occur and they’re so close the cap, but says he doesn’t think capgeek’s report (that they are only $1000 under the cap) is true

I LOVE the Lapierre move.
People kept talking about how you need an Adam Burish-type on your team during the playoffs, the type of guy that’ll joke around and laugh and do media during the playoffs to keep the pressure off your top guys.
I feel like Lapierre is that guy.
We’ll see how I feel after he takes his first lazy hooking penalty though…
Keep in mind he's taken
two minors in 21 games in Anaheim. He doesn’t appear to take any more lazy hooking calls than the average player. And certainly less than the average Swedish twin.

Way to go Oilers
“Who said he’s struggling?”
Steve Tambellini in response to the Edmonton Sun’s Terry Jones asking a question about Colten Teubert’s struggles in the AHL. Jones then informed Tambellini that Teubert has been a healthy scratch for the Manchester Monarchs. Tambellini was stunned.

My friend is an Oil fan
and he was happy they got more than a bag of pucks. He said he would have taken the pick by itself. That was a great deal for Edmonton. No matter how much Teubert may be struggling he is still a very good young prospect. Very good.

everyone on copper and blue seems to hate the deal, but I’m not so sure, although maybe Tambellini should have waited until the draft
"Ironic isn't it, that the very strings I played then are made from the very gut of the animal this song is about" - David McGahan
They hate that deal?
I think they fleeced the Kings.
From HFs for what it is worth I agree with most of this……
Teubert is not much of a threat on offense. The 6’4 blue liner is a big, strong, stay at home defenseman. He plays a shutdown defensive game. Continued focus on building foot speed and quickness will complement his physical stature. Size, grittiness and toughness are obvious attributes. A fierce competitor that thrives on going up against the opposition’s best.

Me too. Thats the type of defenseman that takes longer to develop, and he seems like the real deal. A bigger Willie Mitchell type? Hell yes if I am the Oil. He grows with the team, and gets the chance that was longer coming in L.A

I think they’re working on the thoery that steve Tambellini cannot do anything right. I think they also referenced and article around the 2008 draft that after Myers there was a big drop off in the quality of the defencemen, which doesn’t actually mean much

Seems to me from reading the comments there that the people at copper and blue were hoping for more than this guy, a 1st rounder, and a conditional 3rd rounder for Penner. I believe they wanted Penner to grow with the team. They just lost that and are pissed
Yeah, but they are bitching about getting skinned on the deal. They made out like bandits is the prevailing wisdom here.

It’s simple.
Copper and Blue were holding out for Branden Schenn to come over in the deal. There was NO WAY Schenn was going over there, least of all for Penner, so it’s natural they were bitching.
No doubt though, Steve T did pretty good for Penner. They don’t need Penner next year, not his work ethics, not his attitude, nor his skill set. LA was desperate for a top-6 forward, and Tambo won big with that one. A 1st round pick, a 1st round prospect who isn’t Myers level but certainly very good, (how many are?), and a 3rd round pick is a pretty decent return.

I don’t mean to suggest White is bad, but he doesn’t make them (in my eye) more dangerous as a team or better positioned to go deep in the spring.

What's your thoughts then?
How do we afford him long term? Do you think he deserves the chance to be a starter somewhere? What happens to Eddie Lack then?

If we don't win the Cup
We do this season all over again. Luie gets 60 games, the Ginger gets 22. He can walk as a free-agent if we don’t match him or we can trade his rights. He’ll be a starter when Gillis thinks he’s absolutely expendable. Lack can wait.

Thats why I said
we can trade his rights.
If Chiarelli can get 2 1st rounders for Kessel, what could we get for Schneider?
Obviously his value will be higher if he has a year left on his deal but whatever, Im 2 beers in.

Which is why maybe he gets traded this summer? Gillis will know he can be a starter, and its good for the teams’ rep to give him that chance elsewhere if not here…

I'm sure Gillis has had a long talk with Schneids
I bet he knows where he wants to be. If he wants to be a starter next season he’ll be traded. If he wants another crack at the cup as Lou’s backup, he’ll stick around for another season and we’ll trade away his RFA rights before July 1, 2012.
At least that’s how I’d play it.
Yeah
Goalies are not worth the same anymore.

There are goalie prospects
and then there are guys like Rask and CS who would fetch an awful lot if traded.

With Luongo as our starter, Schneids should be able to fetch us at least a roster piece for next year. I’ve been on this wagon for YEARS. Gotta trade an asset like that, because his value is much much MORE than just a back-up, and as long as you feel you’re getting a piece back that helps your team. Go do it.
He won’t fetch 2 1st round picks, because we’re not dealing with Burke. I would like to think he’s worth more than a 1st though, just because he’s a 1st rounder, and we’ve done a pretty good job developing him.
I wouldn’t oppose to packaging him with a roster player(s), if we can bring back a top-tier player in return. A guy with a name that sounds a lot like the French capital. Does that constitute as tampering?

How does that work?
We tender him and someone who needs a goalie signs him to a 8 year deal worth 7 million a season or something crazy. How do we match that?

But I know what you are getting at – better to cash in when his value is high (which I believe it is)

Tough call with Schneids.
His value may never be higher than the upcoming draft, and trading him makes a lot of sense. We could get some quality assets in return. Keeping him through the end of his contract is a defensible position, though. He’s been a big part of our success this year, after all, and he could be a key piece in an attempt at back-to-back cup runs. Trading RFA rights the following summer won’t likely yield as much, but it’s still something. I’m not sure which way I’d go. I guess it would just depend on how blown away I am by an offer this summer.
by Canuckle Head on Feb 28, 2011 4:55 PM PST up reply actions
To be clear,
I absolutely would not trade him for a mid-1st round pick at this point. Unless it’s one of those slam dunk, future superstar, top 3 pick type players, I’d need more than one pick to let him go. His role in our success this year should not be underestimated, and we’ll be in a great position to threaten again next year.
by Canuckle Head on Feb 28, 2011 5:08 PM PST up reply actions
Sure but that doesn't help
us now. And that offer was ludicrously high on purpose. It’s more likely he would be offered around 4 million which in our cap situation would be impossible to match and we wouldn’t get nearly as many picks.

I believe every player has arb rights ( player can ask or team ). You then take the arb number, and get him for a 1 year. Then he can become…I think, an RFA. But that offer stuff would onl come after the arb deal. Player or team can ask for 1 or 2 years for arb deal too.
Point is, we are a bit away from losing Ginger Jesus for nothing.
I think GMMG trades him before that to give him a chance to start, and cash in on the value…especially if Lack is deemed ready.

my favourite part of the Lapierre pick up is the fact that we now have a player who could have a bad-ass russian mafia style nick name (despite not being russian): Maxim the Rock.

Simple moves
to bolster our 4th line and add insurance against injuries throughout the bottom 9: exactly what most of us were looking for. The $1000 in remaining cap space is spectacular (though not necessarily precisely accurate).

From Gallagher's piece
And the best part about Monday’s two additions is that if they don’t fit into the program here, and that is a significant risk with deals at this time of year particularly with Higgins clearly underwhelmed by the deal
Did anybody see or read anything on any interviews Higgins did after the trade was announced that gave this impression?
"Playin hurt, baby that don't faze me. I don't got time for pain. The only pain I've got time for is the pain I put on fools who don't know what time it is!"
NM's Chief Lady Pleaser. Just ask eightyseven.
Nope. Tony can be like that.
This is from Botch’s article, and he sounds happy…
“Playing out here in Florida, there wasn’t a lot of talent compared to many other teams,” Higgins said. "I found myself moving all over the place. But that’s where I’ve been most of my career, playing with a variety of players.
“The thing I’m looking forward to in Vancouver is trying to find some chemistry with some guys on that team.”
But where? It’s not out of line to suggest Higgins could push a player like Mason Raymond when the thumb heals. Raymond, who has been struggling to score goals, could use the push. Higgins could also settle in nicely on the wing on Vancouver’s third line, possibly fitting in with Manny Malhotra and Raffi Torres.
“Versatility is certainly an asset of mine,” Higgins said. “I want to be an energy, hard working guy who plays a smart game. I can play with a lot of people. I’m looking forward to it in Vancouver.”

I think they'll both fit in nicely to the lineup
Good acquisitions. I can’t wait to see Lapierre doing his human wrecking ball routine out there. He’ll compliment Glass and Torres or Hansen nicely. I think Higgins plays AV’s kind of game too. He’ll be awesome on the third line (or second, depending on who’s hot or cold at the time.)
We have a very fast and physical team. Let’s start with the playoffs already!! Come on!!
I wouldn't be surprised
to see Higgins get some time on the third line if they start to struggle again, but I’d be shocked if AV split that group up the way they’ve been going. I think he’s happy with that trio. I fully expect both of the newbies to spend almost all their time on the fourth line.

I really like the trade. We basically got two NHL calibur players for AHL players. What’s not to like?
I especially like the Higgins trade because he has a high ceiling, if it’s not working out then he’ll be in the 4th line and say goodbye in the summer. Also gives us an alternate top 6 winger if someone goes down to injury during our run.

after letting it sink in...
it appears to be a good trade!
so, all we gave up for these guys was Oberg, Perrault, and a couple 3rd-rounder? not too shabby, i must say.
i think these two will help our bottom 6.

how did gillis manage to keep his 2011 3rd rounder and give away his 2012, 2013 ones?
not that 3rd rounders mean all that much… except we have all our picks in 2011! good for RFA poaching… looking ahead just a little bit.
