Philly says no

Ye its understandable. Giroux is the face of the franchise etc. But they are not contenders imo and they might be better off trading him for a younger center who fits their young defensemen etc better and Galchenyuk is a very good player already. Is the value decent if you dont think about Giroux beeing the captain and face of the franchise etc?

As a Philly fan, I'd entertain Gally+ for Giroux, but it would need to include another piece that isn't "a dime a dozen" like a late 1st in a weak draft, and/or De La Rose.

hmmmmmmmmmm....personally think something around Galch for Simmonds works better thats just me though, i wouldn't trade Galch for someone with that demanding of a contract even though G is pretty much Elite C anyway you look at it

That would be a huge mistake imo. Your center depth would be horrible. You dont really have a cap problem. Adding Giroux´s cap hit wouldnt be a problem with Galchenyuk(rfa/traded), Markov, Desharnais etc beeing ufa this summer. Plekanec and Emelin next summer.

Galchenyuk is not getting traded for a winger...our C depth would then be:

Danault
Desharnais
Plekanec
Mitchell

I would do Galchenyuk + Beaulieu + 2017 2nd (highest one we have) for Giroux.

Assuming Philly would value Beaulieu + 2nd more than JDLR + 1st.

No from Montreal. Galchenyuk value is higher than Giroux IMO

It's definitely not. Galchenyuk may be 6 years younger but Giroux is still a high end forward. He said having a down year but Giroux is still a 65-70 point forward. Galchenyuk himself has good trade value but if any deal went down it's Montreal who adds not Philly. Giroux is a legit #1 center. Montreal isn't adding a B prospect and a 2nd. Sergachev+.

no thank you. not interested in a 30 year old center with that cap hit.

the 6 year difference in age doesnt entice me.

galchenyuk, gallagher, Juulsen and a 1st

for Giroux and Simmonds now were talking

otherwise

shut it down

Giroux's ppg pace has been falling for 4 straight years now. Add in the age factor and Berge Vin would be an imbecile to pull off such a trade even one on one.

Its an interesting idea. I've tossed the idea around before, get the superior but older player. A Bergevin special.;)

Flyers shouldn't trade their best center, especially for a winger as the center piece.
Before anyone says anything, Galchenyuk is as much a center as Schenn.

Talking about trading Galchenyuk or Giroux for both fan bases, is a touchy subject.
This is not a bad proposal, but I don't see either team making this deal.

Giroux and Del Zotto for Galchenyuk and Sergachev.

Or

Giroux and Gostisbehere for Galchenyuk, Sergachev and a 1st.

Wasn't just a few years ago Giroux was supposed to be a 100 points a year player, I heard his speed is slowing down, is that correct Flyer fans??
