hammertime Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Is he on the Block? What's he worth? He could be huge for a team serious about post season glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil_314 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 He's a talent for sure and there will likely be interest (versatile scorer either as center or winger, 0.9 points per game, game-changing hands and hockey sense). If they do decide to move on from him and offer to retain some cap easily can get a 1st, blue-chip prospect and a lesser regular. Wonder if Boston will make a push? The Flyers will sure miss that talent though and they'll likely be a meat-and-potatoes kind of team without him (nothing against Konecny/ Frost/ Farabee and the likes of Atkinson/ Couturier/ JVR/ Laughton, etc. but none of them are game-changers offensively like Claude).

What’s his contract status? If he’s a coming UFA a team that’s close will pay good for him as a rental. If he’s got term, he has little to no value.

MeanSeanBean Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) Wonder if the Wild might try to take a run at him, they could use a little help down the middle and are putting together a pretty solid season. Bumping Player Name-Ek down to the 3rd with Fiala would give them a killer top 9. Edit; lol, well played CDC, well played.

MaxVerstappen33 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 (edited) He's going to get a max contract from someone and they will regret it. I'll pass on anyone on their third/4th contract at this age. But hey, Rutherford is our GM. Maybe he wants to make a move for him Edited December 19, 2021 by MaxVerstappen33 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should try listening to him speak. He basically has said he will do the opposite of everything you are freaking out about and say he will do. He hasn’t made a trade yet. Thought you said half the team would be traded by now? 6 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Giroux's peak was 5 years ago, he can still produce, but he's clearly a declining asset. He'd be a good rental piece to add to a contending team, but some team is going to overpay him on his next contract and regret it. That team should definitely not be us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maniwaki Canuck Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Great player. Must have been about 5 yrs. ago that he got drunk in a bar in downtown Ottawa and grabbed a cop's ass. One bad dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J-Dizzle Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Seems like just yesterday that the Flyers were moving on from Richards and Carter to hand the team over to some kid named Giroux. Can’t believe he’s already 33 lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument from me: there were some minor legal repercussions if I recall correctly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
