Value of: Claude Giroux to a contender
- Thread starter captainpaxil
- Start date
So the article is through the Philadelphia Inquirer. He mentions them and the 2023 1st as trade chips from Florida. Doesn't say that the price would be both. But earlier in the article Seravelli says he feels that the price is going to be in the 1st and top prospect realm.
View media item 10138I think g is considering the needs of the team in addition to his own. I don't think they've ruled out resigning him
The real dollar cost is about $1M on 50% retention and I doubt the Flyers will need extra cap space this season.

To maximise return, Flyers would be 100% fine with max retention.
Between max retention and not taking anyone contributing on a playoff roster I don't think there's much more to do to increase giroux value.

Because FO has no idea wtf they are doing with him now that they have killed his confidence and any offensive creativity.

Call the Habs if you need a team to take him on, retain 50% and then send him along. Like the Wings provided for Tampa with Savard last year. I believe they got a 4th out of that? Giroux's cap hit is much higher.
I can't imagine too many teams can fit the full prorated salary of $8.275M?

Giroux's actual salary in real dollars this year is only $4m, and at the deadline only ~20% of the salary will be left, so there will only be ~$800k due after the deadline. Retaining 50% would set Philadelphia back $400k, and for a team to double-retain they'd only be paying $200k in real dollars which is identical to what double retention cost for Savard ($200k on a $4m total salary), and less than it cost in real dollars to double retain Foligno (~$275k on a $5.5m total salary). Based on those two close comparables it'll probably cost a 4th to get double retention on Giroux.
I think the default answer for any Flyer’s related question is “Because the Flyer’s management is completely incompetent”
Why was Frost sent down? See above
Why is Yandle in the lineup? See above
Why is Zamula not in the lineup? See above
Why are they offering Risto $6m+ per year? See above

I think he comes back next year. He’s apparently not even decided if he wants to be traded (if I’m remembering right)

I don’t really like that, so it’s probably something Fletcher would consider.

Grioux will go wherever he wants at he has a no trade protection. If he demands a trade to try and win a cup he will handpick his team. Yes the flyers can choose not to trade him and just lose him for nothing in free agency.
They might want a homerun return but it's really not up to them.

We'd be happy to take him as another reclamation project before he becomes waiver fodder
I loved when Fletcher was the Wild's GM and watching them toil in mediocrity, but I can't wish that on any other fanbase. Hopefully he's gone sooner than later...but after he gifts us Giroux.
