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.

If he has to waive, you’re not getting the return you want (see Patrick Kane to NYR).

If, as another poster said, he wants to stay close to Ottawa, I’d offer Nick Robertson + a 2nd/3rd from the Leafs.

Or see Claude Giroux to FLA.

If he gets traded the Sens will get hosed again. Probably a 3rd round pick an ECHLer.

I could see a world where Dallas aim to add a player to their top-9 (and a top-4 RD) to push Dadonov further down the lineup. Giroux would be a great piece to slot next to Hintz and Robertson.

Robertson-Hintz-Giroux
Marchment-Duchene-Seguin
Benn-Johnston-Stankoven
Dadonov-Steel-Bourque
