Higgins became a Canuck in one of Mike Gillis' wiliest moves in his GM tenure, which saw him send Evan Oberg and a third round pick for the veteran winger. Originally it appeared Higgins was a rental player for a team primed for a deep playoff run, but he was re-signed after an impressive playoffs which saw the Canucks go all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals (which, if I remember correctly, ended in a draw).
