Digityman Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 (edited) Here's an interesting opinion piece about how Giroux might fit well on the Rangers by Tom Urtz on SB Nation. He throws out options like: Vitali Kravtsov, Zac Jones, Matthew Robertson, Brett Berard, Will Cuylle, and even future draft picks Kravtsov is a interesting prospect. Top 6er. Jones is too small (5'10") and not what the Flyers need. Robertson is a 20 year old 6'4" 200lb defensemen that would be interesting too. Berard is a small forward with a decent shot. He'd be more a of a supplement. Will Cuylle, now that's more like it. "Gifted scorer....one of the most naturally gifted one-touch scorers" 6'4" 210lbs. I'm liking this kid. Assuming Giroux waves his MNTC, how about Cuylle and Robertson for Giroux. Any takers? Is that enough?

AlaskaFlyerFan Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Didn't the Rags send Kravstov back to Russia because he was sucking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 (edited) Yeah, we’ll give them Giroux for Fox, Kreider, Lafrenierre and a 4th. Sold! Of course, we could always sub Panarin for Kreider. Edited December 11, 2021 by FD19372 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyercanuck Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 I'd really rather NOT see Giroux in a Rangers sweater...or Pens for that matter. A nice western team would be good. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCFlyguy Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Send him where you can get the biggest return, period. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think this is the best deal out there, but it's not horrible if that's what the flyers end up with. On the other hand, if they give up on Lafreniere and want to throw him in, maybe they can keep their pick. (i wonder, though, if the Rangers Patricked him) Trade him to Ottawa, insist on their first, and pray for the ping pong ball. If Arizona gets it, send them TK, Lindblom, and the pick for theirs. Actually, offer that to anyone who wins the first overall (if we already have Ottawa's pick). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But Giroux in a Metro team's sweater would be tough to take. Kind of like Jagr in the O&B. Turned out okay but that one took me awhile...! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FD19372 Posted December 11, 2021 Share Posted December 11, 2021 Maybe we can make Giroux Nashville's problem to flip for assets. How about a Giroux and a pick for Filip Forsberg, who is set to become a UFA in the summer BUT is 27, and we will almost certainly be outbid for him at that point? I would prefer trying to get a player who has some physicality to his game, like the drum I've beaten to death in trading for Brady Tkachuk..but Forsberg would likely be more reasonable to acquire, and 27 is certainly right in his prime at a $6 mil cap hit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't bother me in the slightest - it's taking a donut-eating fatso like Hayes from the Rangers and paying him $7M/yr that is hard to take in my book. If Giroux went to the Penguins I would wish him well and never think of him again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure Fletcher has made it perfectly clear, following in Homers footsteps, that if he covets someone, nobody is going to outbid him.
