How did Claude Giroux fall so much and why wasnt he a top 5-10 pick, what was the reason?
Giroux has decent speed.

He was a reach at 22 at the time. Seems strange considering the season he had in the Q, but you have to keep in mind he was passed over in the OHL draft, and their were questions marks about his size/speed.
Same reasons he had to audition for a junior roster spot. Nobody in the OHL drafted him, so he picked up and walked on in Gatineau of the QJMHL.
The knock was his size, and the problem was there isn't a reliable test for Hockey IQ.
He wasn't a reach. Bob McKenzie had him ranked at 22.
You have any evidence for that ? Many didn't see him in the firt round
