I offered MDZ for a 4th pick and a bag of pucks - and I threw in Weise for free.
Yeah I mean if he's not getting re-signed I'd take the highest offer.

Would you trade Simmonds for Gally, 1-1.
Yeah. You're not losing much offensive production out of your lineup right now with swapping the two. Galchenyuk just turned 23 the other day while Simmonds is 28. Galchenyuk's next contract is going to be a better value than Simmonds because one guy is entering his prime while the other is leaving his. Giroux is 29, Simmonds is 28, & Voracek is 27. So having a 23 year old Galchenyuk instead of a 28 year old Simmonds would fit better with where the current rebuild is.
Whether or not that's a realistic thing it's probably not but under the hypothetical I really can't see how you wouldn't do that. Especially with all the complaints of our forward core being too old.
Not to Habs... That could be like Recchi's deal in reverse. Playing for Habs could actually help Giroux's career, make him care again..better question, would you trade giroux straight up for galchenyuk (not that I think the flyers would ever do it)

Giroux is not championship hungry player. He was 3 years ago... not anymore. He will have a few good seasons no doubt but his stats are winding down slowly but surely. Also, for a player his size I expect injuries very soon. His will to play 5 on 5 and compete is questionable at this point of his career and this is his worst season unless he picks up his play.
Another thing, he has no pressure here in Philly but place like Montreal would bring the best out of him.
What is desire in this league? Can you take on best d-men on daily basis to stay top center in the league..? Are you 80pts player or are you becoming 60pts player? Desire lol.So now we're questioning Giroux's desire to win? Interesting.
Claude is a hell of player but he has about 2-3 really good years in him, maybe even even a few 80-85pts season, that's if he picks up his 5 on 5 play. He is no longer killing penalties but still.. his production is dropping. Compete level is not there for captain of this team. Got to be realistic.
