Value of: Claude Giroux to a contender

[captainpaxil]

The flyers are in a losing skid and the media and fans are talking about blowing it up.

It’s time for Flyers to trade Claude Giroux and go into full rebuild mode

While I'd much rather fire the coach and re up him to retire a flyer I can also see the organization giving him the opportunity to try and win one.

He's having a great year and his best attribute his vision isn't something that is suceptable to age. 60+ pt winger at 5mil.

What would the offers look like?

Hard for most contenders to fit his cap hit in.

 

[John Mandalorian]

Lots of sellers already.

I would love him on the Jets, both for what he brings on and off the ice, but we don’t have the cap space or expendable assets required to get him.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I assume the Flyers would retain half to maximize their return? He's a UFA at the end of the year and there no way a cup contender can pay 8.3 million cap space to fit him in, especially with the way he's been playing. He's had an awful defensive year but his offense still hasn't been bad.

I would say he'd go for the standard 1st+ at the deadline.
Think teams would prefer to go after Forsberg/Klingberg for example though over Giroux. He's older, lacks the winners pedigree, and the last time he was good in the playoffs was exactly 10 years ago.

Giroux (50%) and Braun
approx 5M

for

Ritchie, Engvall, Holl + Robertson + 2nd
Approx 5.75M

Giroux for Newhook and Compher seems like the perfect deal for both teams.

If the Avs put that on the table Fletcher should jump at it

 

[Stuart Little]

Giroux - Matthews - Marner
Mikheyev - Tavares - Nylander
Kerfoot - Kampf - Kase
Bunting - Spezza - Simmonds

Rielly - Brodie
Muzzin - Braun
Sandin - Liljegren/Dermott

He aint returning a prospect like that. Free Agent who can block any trade he wishes.

If Giroux is on the market he will command a ton.

Especially from a team like Colorado or Minnesota looking for veteran leadership.

G is the only player on the flyers playing well throughout the season. It is horse manure to say he is awful defensively.

What has he done that is impressive on the defensive end?

Couturier isn't playing well but he still bears the defensive weight of his line. Giroux is a LW who is just looking for offense at this point.

 

[Perratrooper]

Giroux for Newhook and Compher seems like the perfect deal for both teams.

Why would Newhook be offered up for a rental? Seems extremely short sighted. Barron+ is most I would consider.

Very very easy no.

With how he has played, there are no Avs fans who are willing to deal Newhook right now. Suggesting he'd be moved for a player who'd walk to UFA within the year is absurdity.

 

[UConn126]

1st, Studnicka, DeBrusk, Moore from the B's. Moore strictly a cap dump, DeBrusk needs his change of scenery and could bounce back, Stud is widely regarded as one of the B's top prospects (not saying much), abd a first is a first.

Couts has been lost as a goose in a snow storm the last 3 weeks. Are you even watching?

MN is looking for veteran leadership?

That and wingers.

To win a cup.

 

[Gurglesons]

For a playoff run? Yes. also I imagine Giroux would be used at C.

I said he isn't playing well. You obviously didn't even read what I said.

I'm aware, Ive bet too much on the Flyers lately since on paper they look solid, only to watch the on ice product bomb.

 

[Gurglesons]

Giroux is only a winger in theory. He takes the most face offs on the Flyers. Could easily slide into a 2C role with the Wild.

lol.. “just looking for offense at this point”

Lock this thread. It’s only going snowball from here.

Or maybe you could try watching a Flyers game for once

Ah, so this explains it then. Taking your anger out on one of the few players that is actually showing up won’t help you win your money back bud
