But I’d think that would change if they’re asking Philly to trade him within the division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 He was pretty much a non factor last night. Surprised he's having the statistical season he's having when you see how he did against the Rangers. Kind of a no show for Giroux. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, I don’t know what it is, he has never really wow’d me. I’m not disputing his talent, believe me. And I’d be all for a potential move to try and get him if it were reasonable. But yeah, he just has never really done it for me. Even in his prime. Don’t know why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like you said, he's have a good year even though the flyers are absolute dog shit. If he did come here he'd be a 3rd liner, which would be insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I not say he didn't have a good game? I mean WTF. By that showing, I'm surprised he's having a statistically good season, because that effort was pretty lame for a divisional rival. Who knows. Maybe he's banged up, maybe he's getting covid. I'm just saying he didn't have a good game. Jesus with some of you... There's no question he would help the Rangers. I've even said I'm on board with going for him or any big splash rental. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, he just has never really done it for me. Even in his prime. Don’t know why. When the Flyers were stacked and had a solid roster,I always thought Giroux was the 2nd or 3rd best forward behind Voracek. Schenn and Giroux were solid but I feel like I feared Schenn more, but on any given shift either could take over the play or just make a big play. Girouxs playoff stats are downright ridiculously good. He's in that upper echelon of talent and is a very tempting addition. If he's available, Drury should have him pegged as a target. Adding a player that is a statistical success in the playoffs should shine through Drurys (so far) pattern of adding nothing but grinders to this roster. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would signal a serious attempt to make a run. If it's Giroux at RW, I guess that's fine, but it doesn't interest me as much as having him at C.

I don't really agree because the second line is productive despite no RW. The third line needs a center and needs to produce more than the second line needs a RW.

It's just my glowing @Morphinity-Nash-like hatred for Kakko, probably. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I like Giroux on the 3rd line too! Maybe between guys like Yukon, and Goodrow. That would be one heck of a 3rd line, and couple that with Rooney, Reaves and Barron/Goat/Hunt on the 4th, and I think we'd be pretty well set up in the bottom 6.

Bugg Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 (edited) Heard Larry Brooks on Duguay's podcast saying Giroux having been The Man for so long in one place might be like Eric Staal; not a good fit, too settled in the old place and ways. Also MSL was different because depsite a slow start he wanted to be here. And in that sense Hertl might be a better fit. Know it's not 1975 but don't see these Flyers and Rangers dealing in season.

Eric Staal who produced everywhere he's played but here. Eric Staal who was played as a winger here on a pulseless AV team. I always hate how people shit on Staal for how badly he was used as a Ranger. Guy did alright everywhere else he played (Buffalo is Buffalo). Playoff performer too. I see he just signed an AHL PTO with the Wild. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
