Expected return for Giroux (Will not play Friday or Sunday for the Flyers)

[renberg]

Based upon the rumors floating around the Avs offer for Giroux, I'd rather see the Flyers find another acceptable trading partner than them. Their scrub minor leaguers don't excite me and the fact that they don't have a #1 DC in the '22 draft hurts their position.
There are other trading partners out there. Boston and Carolina have been suggested in the media. IDK what they would have to offer in return. What are your ideas of a suitable return from them or other franchises? The going rate is a top prospect, a #1 DC and something else.

Ideally they would get back a really good center prospect who is already, or close to, playing in the NHL. Newhook would be a great get, but it doesnt sound likely unless a real bidding war breaks out.

A realistic return from Colorado would be 2023 1st, Barron, and Compher. Barron fills the RD need, so in theory that helps but idk enough about him as a player.

Outside of colorado, they could look to get that Newhook level player from another team...but not sure who thatd be.

Colorados 2023 pick actually helps their offer bc thats expected to be a much deeper draft.

Ideally you get a 2023 1st, and a centre prospect with high upside. They’ll need to retain on G and likely take a guy like Compher to make the salary work. Compher is a dime a dozen player. I’m not sold on Barron being a top 4 guy, especially with our track record of development, d men in particular.

In any case, this is Cuck we are talking about. So he’ll likely tack on our 2023 1st to G for Jost and some other shit garbage to make sure Sakic is happy.

 

[TCTC]

I expect a 1st and a good prospect. Ideally, from a team that's likely to get eliminated in the 1st round. So, what has Toronto to offer?

 

[Lord Defect]

I expect disappointment in the return

 

[GKJ]

It first depends how many teams he’s willing to go to before we even get into whether or not Chuck screws it up.

Bored, out-of-the-box thought: would Florida trade one of the Sams for Giroux? The salary would work if the Flyers retained; the Panthers would have about $1.4 million extra if it was Reinhart for Giroux @ 50%. Both are much younger (26 and 25).

 

[Tripod]

Coburn got us a 1st, 3rd and 24 year old Gudas.

Won't be shocked when Giroux gets us less with Fletch doing the trade.

Prepare to root for the Philadelphia JAGs

Something like this would work. Oskar Olausson, Justin Barron, and #1 pck in 2023

I care more about his chance of winning the cup, than the return. Until management is gutted, it won't matter anyway.

Doubt it. Teams don’t like sending people out of the room.

No thank you. He's projected as a top 9 player, but lacks the drive to be consistent, and when his motor isn't going which is pretty frequently, he's completely unnoticeable (so he'd fit right in)

Very smart way of looking at it, trading is one of the many things chuckles has never been good at

The only thing he’s good at is being a doormat for the entire league.

 

[Mighty Makar]

I’ll be f***en pumped if we get Giroux. I’ve always liked him and he’s still a great player. I know what he means to all Flyers’ fans. It would be very weird seeing him in a different jersey for sure.

We hope you guys get him, avs has always been my 2nd team thanks to growing up loving watching Sakic play, but for shits and giggles, what would be the most you'd give up for giroux to help secure a cup?

1st, Barron and Compher/Jost. I’m sure you will get better offers, but it’s ultimately up to Giroux where he goes, I think? I imagine he wants the Flyers to get a great return. He’s a great all around player and I’m excited at the possibility of having him on the Avs!

It is 100% up to giroux, and if I were him I'd stick it to the flyers for failure to provide me a good team my entire career lol I'd go to the team offer a pair of 2nds and shit on the ice as I left lol but he's not me

This is the same idiot who traded Ghost for negative return so he could then trade a ton for one of the worst defensemen in the entire league. He also traded their top scorer from last season, who is highly skilled at both passing and zone entries.

AND THEN ONLY A FEW MONTHS LATER he whines during a press conference that the team needs more skill and puck moving ability.



We're going to get screwed.

I think he ought to target MacDermid. Maybe a 4th round pick in 2023. It is a deep draft after all.

 

[Tripod]

Christ it's sad that we are very likely getting a worse return for G than we paid for Risto.

 

[Rodu58]

we're swapping first round picks

Chuckles is a sad man

 

[FLYguy3911]

Ranta is too random of a name not to be in actual discussions. Set your expectations based around that.

Weird there's no talk of Behrens. He's playing top pair/PP on one of the best teams in the country. The Flyers specifically avoided undersized defensemen in the 2021 draft so most are likely correct in excluding him, but he is one of Colorado's better prospects. Maybe their best.

Helleson seems up Chuck's ally too.
