Value of: Claude Giroux now or at TDL

I imagine his goal would be to play more than one playoff round.

Then why did he sign with the Sens who can't sniff the playoffs?

His and his wife’s entire family live here and he wanted to raise his kids near them. That’s why he signed.

If he does decide to waive his NMC and leave his family for a few months, it’d be to try for a long playoff run and cup, so why exactly would he pick the Leafs when he could just go back to Florida?

I can finally put this to use.

If he agrees to waive, he'll go to Florida or somewhere like that for a 4th round pick because he is choosing where he gets to go.

He has a good relationship with chief berube having played for him before. He'd be the kind of leadership the leafs have been looking for

If he decides to waive his NMC, it'll be to a team in the East and the return will be Tarasenko-esque.

So... back to Florida or maybe Carolina for a 3rd.

Tarasenko returned two 3rd round picks in the end and Giroux is more valuable than Tank so he would return more than that.

If he agrees to waive, he'll go to Florida or somewhere like that for a 4th round pick because he is choosing where he gets to go.

So there's been a few people suggesting a 3rd/4th round pick...

Why would be worth that little exactly? He has a 0.86 PPG with Ottawa and is a 2-way + PK forward, Tarasenko is offense only

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.

This right here is what I think happens.
