I wonder how long it will take Clarke to blame Hextall on that bad return for Giroux.

"If Hextall hadn't handed Giroux that NMC we'd have gotten a huge return!"

(I have no idea if Hextall was the GM that signed Giroux to his current deal, but neither does Bobby Clarke probably)

I had to check, he was just the assistant GM when that happened. He was made GM not too long after that, though

You know any people that would willingly go back to Philly after moving to Florida for 2-4 months?

Yeah good for them, a Lindholm-McAvoy top pair is going to be dominant for the next 5 or so years.

Toronto will go after Gio now I am guessing. Florida vs Bos/Tor and Tampa vs Bos/Tor.

I wonder what’s going to happen when Florida loses in the first round

Their fans will be outraged. All 12 of them.

Gonna be a weird game April 24th when Pens play a Girouxless Flyers team.

Personally think that the Flyers got a good return for Giroux. He was only waiving to the Panthers and they still got a 1st and a good young player.

Good job by Beantown there.

 

[Peat]

Think you can argue either way on how the Flyers did considering the NMC - not sure I believe in Tippett myself tbh - but pretty inarguable they got hosed compared to what could have been if Giroux had been even a bit flexible.

Such a shame.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Great cap hit, 6 years and the deal would be great, 8 years and its yucky. That one will not age well.

Lindholm hasn’t been the same player in a couple years, we’ll see if it’s just the poopy team effect. That Atlantic Division gauntlet is extreme.

[Big Friggin Dummy]

Shame that Giroux didn't bend over backwards to help the Flyers organization that wasted his entire career chasing such illustrious talents as Hayes, Ristolainen, Luke Schenn, etc.

 

[Rudy Russo]

1975 Forever!

It must hurt to have your franchise player moved for a pick you won’t even be able to enjoy as a fan for at least 2 years. It’s basically just for Owen Tippett. I just wouldn’t trade him at that point. Flyers org is such a dumpster fire.

 

[Tender Rip]

Gotta admit…. Lindholm for 8 years at 6.5….
With what Chiarot returned, its hard not to think about having traded Dumo and then made the Lindholm trade, isn’t it?

Lindholm Letang
Matheson Marino


That’s a top4.

Anyway. Good deal for Boston.

They dont care. Neither would we.

Tippett always gave me Virtanen vibes (minus the dirtbag human being part). Good shot and good skater, but limited in every other aspect of the game to prevent him from ever being more than a (at best) 15-20-ish goal winger with no playmaking ability or creativity.

I’ll be curious if he’s any good for them. He’s fallen off the last couple years in ANA.

Read that Giroux said he'd open up on his NTC if Philadelphia guaranteed he'd be brought back in the summer, and they said no. That's a whole lot of wow if true.

edit: Doesn't sound like the most reliable source.

 

[SomeDude]

Florida loading up with former Flyers with ringless Jumbo Joe already hanging around the press box. Doesn't seem like the best recipe for success.

Doesn't sound like he has a home quite locked down for next season.

Someone on the Flyers board suggested Bob Clarke didn't want to see his records broken by Giroux.

While it's probably not true, the fact Clarke seems to be a dirtbag makes it at least a plausible rumor.

 

[K Fleur]

Extend Risto, trade Giroux, get bent over by Crosby. The Flyer way

 

[Dennis Reynolds]

After the Hagg rumors yesterday, I’m just so glad I didn’t see “/PIT” in the main trade board today.

 

[tom_servo]

Would've been really bummed and worried if Hex bit on Hagg.

Giroux signs with Pens on a cheap 1 year deal as a FU to him and that team.
