Sportsnet: Giroux talks very quiet, Flyers not believed to have been offered any big deals

[Ovechkins Wodka]

How many contenders still have their first round pick? That list keeps shrinking

I think sellers are perfectly fine with 2023 1st round picks, infact rumor is that they prefer it over 2022 1st round picks. So I believe, it's still quite a few teams (buyers) that have one of those available.

 

[SnS]

Ugh. I want to vomit.

I think if the Flyers fans watched the Tampa/Florida series from last year, they would be more excited than disappointed in the prospect of getting Tippett. He was very good .. He just started the season out cold and noticeably lost confidence. I can see his upside as Nathan Horton… a big guy with skill that can turn it up when the playoffs come around.

If it’s going to be a 1 for 1 with G for Tippet and maybe a small add like a 2nd or 3rd rounder, it will undeniably be a horrible trade for the Flyers

Tippett + 2nd for Giroux?

Tippett + 2nd for Giroux?

I think I would rather keep Giroux.

 

[Papa Francouz]

Damn. Well, good on Florida for shooting their shot, but there goes my dream of seeing my favorite player play for my favorite team.

With him and Giordano I imagine teams want the full retention for no added value, other than it would be the classy thing to do so that the player gets a playoff run. Even on just the player value, the buyers likely want a good bargain like the Hall deal.

But a third team will want something substantial if double retention is needed.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Not sure why flyer fans aren't excited about Tippett. You weren't gonna get anyone better. It's better than a late first.

I hope we get Giroux for Tippett, I've hated Tippett this season, feels like every time he touches the puck the play would just die.

Maybe he turns it around in Philadelphia, maybe he doesn't, at least he'll get to be back with Yandle for a bit

Why you gotta do that to a Flyers fan base that’s currently in mourning? Lol

thank you for your honesty. No shortage of fans on here claiming that Tippett is a good prospect. He’s a C prospect and nothing more. Big dumb ginger winger with little upside. The Cuck Fletcher special.

Yah I don’t understand why Flyers would do this when they have the best forward in the entire trade deadline. Why trade for Tippett when someone will eventually do first + Atleast. Lets be honest here. Philadelphia has a lot of holes to fill, and Tippett isn’t turning around that Franchise by himself. Assets, plural, would make the most sense for the Flyers

 

[Rich Nixon]

Upside for Giroux, if he goes to Florida he'll get to hang out with Yandle's dead cap for a bit. Being in a franchise that's paying Yandle to contribute nothing should make him feel more at home. The boys in the room love Yands. Also he played with Bob like a decade ago and Gudas is supposedly a fun fella.

 

[BKarchitect]

It’s pretty much a guarantee the dinosaurs that run the Flyers are absolutely in love with Tippett. He “looks” every inch the star player…big, strong, breakaway speed and lethal shot - plus he was picked 10th overall. What additional scouting do you need?

And after spending so much of this year with Yandle's dead career, that feels like a huge upgrade.

Some team will double retain Giroux for a 4th if necessary. Only $250k in real dollars.

 

[Starat327]

It really is a shame that Fletcher is going to completely botch trading a first line player who is also the best player this team has had in decades.

I would rather let my 10 year old nephew negotiate this trade. I'm positive he'd get a better return.

I think tippet and Carlson are the objective because they can put warm bodies on the ice for a current flyer team lacking in them. Denisenko seems like a bit of a boom bust type. Patience may be required and fans will be eager to see a high upside player in any deal for Giroux

Doesn’t he have a 1.5 PPG pace in the AHL? Doesn’t necessarily scream C level prospect.

Tippett + 2nd for Giroux?

That's pretty much what Taylor Hall returned for Buffalo at the deadline, so there's precident.

When the player has control, you shouldn't expect the same return -- those no-trade clauses kill value at trade deadline.
