Where's the Giroux option?

Where's the Giroux option?

LOL I wasn't adding specific players just general positions

 

[saskriders]

I think they make the signing and a trade for a defenceman.

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Giroux, Top 4 D, and a depth player or two got my vote.

I'll also bet on Brown being dealt, possibly for the top 4 d.

 

[edguy]

Giroux first. Depth forward next, trade for TOP 4 RHD on some random August day

 

[SensFactor]

Giroux better be coming, I'm ready to pre-order my new jersey

 

[Wallet Inspector]

Monsieur Giroux.

 

[BoardsofCanada]

Hope and expectations are sky high. I admit, I am excited for tomorrow too. But I am trying to prepare myself for a huge let down. Let's say Giroux signs with a different team and Dorion makes no other moves?? This might be reality tomorrow.

 

[salomonster]

A top 4 D via trade.

Giroux is a nice to have but not a must have. ...Although it would go a long way to catapulting the franchise into the next phase of unapparelled success or at least give the fans something to cheer for.

I think a Giroux signing can sell a lot of tickets too. Which means money for Jimmy, Norris, Sanderson, Pinto, Zub. And hopefully spending to the cap eventually.

 

[Ouroboros]

Sign Giroux
Trade for Marino [or maybe sign De Haan]
Sign depth for Belleville

 

[The Expert]

Poll is broken with no Giroux option...

 

[OttawaSenators11]

My guesses:
#28
Tanev RD
Deslauriers

 

[playasRus]

Money is on bottom pairing RD.
Gonna say Colin Miller

Signing Giroux and Manson would be heavenly.

Or trading for Tanev if CGY blows her up.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

I am already screaming internally knowing we are moments away from getting Giroux.

I'm waiting for it to be finalized.

We were already candidates for Giroux because hometown team and he has expressed interest in us, but now we've improved so much that we are looking like a prime location for incoming talent... just a perfect match upcoming.

I can't wait for the official news to fully soak it all in.

Yeah it almost feels like Dorion made all these moves just to satisfy Giroux, so he better sign with us now!

 

[DJB]

I voted for every option now that Dorion has gone prime Dorion

 

[GCK]

My guesses:
#28
Tanev RD
Deslauriers

Taney would be an excellent low key add.

Have you seen his FO %?? I would put him in the must have category.

Have you seen his FO %?? I would put him in the must have category.

ya and what about his leadership?

And he's also proving Sweatred wrong by signing with the Sens

 

[Butchy Dakkar]

More season ticket holders

@PierreVLeBrun

All signs point to the Ottawa Senators being the front runners to land UFA star Claude Giroux when the market opens today.

Giroux first. Depth forward next, trade for TOP 4 RHD on some random August day

Giroux or not, there's absolutely no spot left on forwards

Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson
DeBrincat - Stutzle - Giroux
Formenton - Pinto - Brown
Joseph - Kastelic - Watson
Kelly/Gambrell

Angus Crookshank, Viktor Lodin, Egor Sokolov, Roby Jarventie, Ridly Greig will all have to wait their opportunity

Defense also logjammed, but not as bad.

Chabot - Zub
Sanderson - Veteran RHD?
Brannstrom - Hamonic
Holden - Zaitsev

It would already be surprising to see them sit Holden. Something's gotta give. Maybe trade Brannstrom and Connor Brown for a top-4 RHD?

Thomson, JBD and Guenette waiting their turn. Aspirot could deserve a call up or two as well.

I think a Giroux signing can sell a lot of tickets too. Which means money for Jimmy, Norris, Sanderson, Pinto, Zub. And hopefully spending to the cap eventually.

By the time Batherson's contract ends, we'll have to spend to the cap (and beyond if necessary) or maybe just rebuild.
