So you came into a thread to correct a subjective 70 point floor for Giroux because you think it should be in the 60's but you didn't correct my 60 point floor on EP when you think it's in the 50s? Yet you had no agenda?
Also, the claim of Giroux being inconsistent is one of the funnier things I've seen on HF. He's been one of the most consistent scorers of the last decade.
Here are his point scoring finishes going back to 2010-2011.
11th, 3rd, 13th, 3rd, 10th, 19th, 46th, 2nd, 19th
He's finished between 2nd and 19th in scoring every year but once this decade yet you want to write off his 2nd place finish 2 years ago as an outlier but not the 46th place finish 3 years ago. Very reasonable of you.
A huge part of the reason why I said Giroux's floor is 70 points is because scoring has dramatically increased the past 2 seasons and I see no reason to think it's going to instantly revert back to 2015 scoring levels. 70 points last season would have ranked 51st in the NHL which is lower than he's finished this decade but that's unreasonable? Even if scoring is closer to 2018 that would have ranked him 34th which is well below all but one season. If Giroux scores fewer than 70 points this season it's going to be a disaster of a year for the Flyers.
I'm sticking with 70-100 points for Giroux and I think he'll probably finish in the mid 80s.
The Flyers should just automatically be handed wins against everybody because all their players are definitely so much better.
