Canucks Acquire Chris Higgins from Panthers for Evan Oberg, Draft Pick

The Vancouver Canucks added some offensive depth on Trade Deadline Day by acquiring left wing Chris Higgins from the Florida Panthers in exchange for defenseman Evan Oberg and a third round pick in the 2013 Entry Draft. Higgins, who is currently sidelined with a broken thumb, will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, while Oberg has one more year left on his current deal. In 48 games this season with the Panthers, Higgins has 11 goals and 12 assists for 23 points. Oberg appeared in two games this season with the Canucks, scoring no points. He has also played in 37 games with Manitoba of the AHL, scoring seven goals and four assists for 11 points. Not a bad move for the Canucks, as Higgins will bring plenty of offensive depth to their third and fourth lines. He will also bring some two-way ability to the team, as well as some skill to the penalty kill. In Oberg, the Panthers get a puckmoving defenseman with some offensive instincts to help them in their rebuilding process.
