Read: Christopher Higgins Loved Being A Ranger
At his blog at Newsday, Arthur Staple writes about former Ranger and Smithtown native Christopher Higgins who says that he loved his time with the Rangers.
Staple also writes that the Rangers would have considered bringing Higgins back during the off-season if “the numbers were right.”
Higgins signed for one year with Florida during the off-season for $1.6 million.
….I loved Higgins when he was acquired, local boy, 20 goal scorer and a nice guy when interviewed. He just couldn’t hack it as a Ranger last season in the scoring department but was a good grinder type player but that isn’t is game. His trade was a great one as it rid the team of Ales Kotalik, got them cap space from Olli Jokinen and the very valuable Brandon Prust. I hope Higgins finds some semblance of his game back in Florida
