Value of: Claude Giroux now or at TDL

[PlayersLtd]

With another dismal November in the books in Ottawa midnight is fast approaching on Steve Staios and Claude Giroux to make a decision on next year. If he isn't willing to resign and if Ottawa doesn't go on a streak soon Staios will have no choice but to recoup some value. Point totals slightly down but he is the same Giroux everyone knows and loves, just about as valuable as ever for a playoff run.

People will say Ottawa's needs are limited to a young winger with top 6 potential but a bigger shakeup could be in order which means just about anything will be considered.

Didn't he pick Ottawa cause it was close to home? Does he even want to go for a Cup anymore?

I can see him going somewhere as a rental then re-signing with Ottawa in the summer. This way his wife and son can stay put in Ottawa while he goes off for a few months in pursuit of a Cup.

Maybe he doesn't want to go anywhere and maybe Staios respects that but the old guard brought him in and investing in the future might supersede catering to his wishes. Or he goes for a run and resigns in the summer.

His NMC supersedes Staios' wishes

Sorry, fair. Assume he's willing to waive.
