Rumor: 2021-22 Trade Rumors and FA Part V: To Giroux or not to Giroux

[Ararana]

When players are saying that losing all those draws is "a big disadvantage for them", I'll take their word.

NHL players know better than fans sitting at work talking on an internet forum?!?!

Isn't Giroux pretty good on face-offs and PK? You can go with Naz PK 1 then Giroux PK 2

I'll tap my own back. Wrote this in december:

"Am I the only one who still thinks that Kuemps is a legit 10 goalie in the league and will find his groove eventually?"

Many didn't agree with me. I'd like to see him signed to something like 5-5.5 x 4 yrs.

The use of the term "sweepstakes" does not bode well. LOL

 

[Balthazar]

Habs will be trading one of their few good contract.

I put $25 on him to win the Vezina when his odds jumped to 43 to 1 lol.

I don’t know the guy, don’t know his credibility (doesn’t look that credible tbh) at all but…



atleast Seravalli is following this account for what its worth

 

[Ararana]

"willing to eat some salary..."

If "some" doesn't equal 50% then this is going to get difficult.

Flyers fans must be expecting the moon at this point. Newhook + 1st ++

I saw that comment. Did you see the other one about this not making it to the TDL? It seems like it might be correct.

 

[AvsCOL]

Fully prepared for one of the Avs direct rivals (MIN or VGK) to swoop in and get Giroux. Then all the big outlets can say “Sakic was in, right until the end.”

It will be difficult with the cap unless they are taking JTC + Jost and are retaining 50% on Giroux.

Daaaaaamn. Good job Montreal.

Daaaaaamn. Good job Montreal.

Prospect is Emil Heinemann.

Emil Heinemann was a player I wanted the Avs to draft. I wouldn't hate it if he could be a throw in if the Avs were to trade with Montreal.

I assume they're getting Toffoli to play on the 3rd line with Monahan and Dube, because right now they've got Ritchie there lol. The top two lines seem pretty set in stone with Gaudreau/Lindholm/Tkachuk and Coleman/Backlund/Mangiapane.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

I guess not awful for Montreal but I would have expected a but more for Toffoli

Respect lol

The best center in the 2013 draft is playing on their 3rd line? On a serious note, good trade for CGY…I hate it.

Nice, I told my Habs fan buddy last night that Toffoli was going to Calgary and here it is

One of the best face off players in the NHL yes. I don't know how much he PKs but hes always been one of the best face off guys. Claude is another one of those guys that cut his stick a bit shorter when he got to the NHL mainly to win draws. Tyson Jost should look into it.

 

[EdAVSfan]

Return seems pretty light for the Habs in this case

Good move by the Flames. Hes a perfect fit on that team imo. Another proven playoff guy who can score when it matters. Kinda like a right handed Saad.
