Rangers, Higgins agree on deal: The New York Rangers agreed to terms on a one-year, $2.25 million deal with Christopher Higgins, a restricted free agent acquired last week in a six-player trade that sent Scott Gomez to the Montreal Canadiens. The Rangers announced the deal on Monday. Higgins, a Long Island native, came to the Rangers along with Ryan McDonagh and Pavel Valentenko for Gomez, Tom Pyatt and Mike Busto last Tuesday -- the eve of the start of the NHL free-agent shopping season.

Fantasy Analysis
In 282 regular-season NHL games with Montreal, the left winger had 84 goals and 67 assists. Higgins has reached the 20-goal mark three times, including a career-high 27 in the 2007-08 season when he set a personal best with 52 points in 82 games. Higgins had a down year in 2008-09 due to injury, but if he can stay healthy in 2009-10, he has the ability to hit 20 goals again. Higgins will have low-end Fantasy appeal Draft Day. He also has Fantasy appeal in leagues that reward heavily for short-handed stats.
