From Sportsnet's Irfaan Gafar:
Chris Higgins is a valuable yet streaky forward who can play top or bottom 6 minutes for this team. With Jake Virtanen and Jared McCann playing the way they have been, plus making the team officially after their 9-game NHL stint this can only mean that one player gets the boot: Sven Baertschi. Oh the enigmatic Baertschi. 4 assists in 10 games played this season. A +2. 11:00 average icetime per game...only Gaunce and Virtanen have less. But those 2 are wee kids. Sven is 23 years old.
