ESPN Trade Rumor: Higgins to Anaheim?

PrintThis is being reported on ESPN Insider, which I refuse to pay for, but Anaheim Calling, the SBNation home of the Anaheim Ducks had the story:
From ESPN: "The Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers might be talking about a big trade that would bring Christopher Higgins to Anaheim for Marchant"... I would assume not straight up.
Also, in the same rumours section they were talking about a big trade involving JS going to Toronto for a lot of people. This is one of the teams JS would consider since he does have a no movement clause in his contract.
With all that being said it seems like the trade winds are blowing early and heavy in Anaheim.
Like I said, just a rumor, and its ESPN, so take it with a grain of salt.

i have no interest in todd marchant or anyone else on their roster that they would actually deal so if it was Anaheim considering we have plenty of forwards for this year i would rather trade for a prospect not that i am for giving up on higgins. Jake Gardiner (D) who plays with McDonagh and Stepan and Wisconsin or Peter Holland who is in the OHL and was their 1st pick this year would be the two targets, but i dont see Anaheim giving up either one.
Seriously?
Todd Marchant? come on.
Higgins is 26 and in a slump. 16 games into the season.
Enough with the stupid rumors please?
I don't think it's stupid at all
Assume that the Ducks want more scoring and offered up Marchant and someone else. I doubt the Rangers went calling the Ducks.

No to mention he is 36 years old. And the best part is we would have to give up Higgins and something else?? LOL!!!!
Anaheim should be giving us prospects and or draft picks for taking this guy off their hands. Thanks but no thanks stick with Higgins much more upside.
OUCH MY ELBOW HURTS!
no
Anaheim would give us something else

Joe, above i suggested a couple of prospects that i dont think anaheim would deal but intrigue me, especially Holland with as deep as our d prospects are, is the idea of taking marchant from what you gather in the rumor just so the ducks can absorb higgins salary more than a ranger desire to have him? If that is the case and we get the same type of prospect we would get without taking marchant i am fine taking him because we could always deal him at the deadline cause he would have value to other teams for maybe a 3rd round pick or so. just thinking out loud obviously.
