Friedman: Giroux's preference is to be traded to Florida rather than Colorado or other contenders

[Magic Man]

That's not good.

 

[tsujimoto74]

Dude has an NMC. If he decides on Florida then Philly will be getting the Taylor Hall special (a 2nd).

Don't undersell it. You also made us take Bjork.

 

[Nihiliste]

Makes sense if you’re going to take a 3 month vacation to go to miami and stay on the east coast

 

[JoeSakic13]

It's a reading thing....or a comprehension thing. Haven't figured out which one it is yet.

Yes

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Might just be a rumor started to drive up the price for COL. Or it's the truth. Either way, we'll probably find out after his 1000th!

 

[Dread Clawz]

Defense is ok without injury, but when there 5+ lines NHL forwards, there are 5 real NHL defenders and few borderline cases.

Yup, we already saw what happened to Florida's defense when Ekblad was injured. I really don't think chasing Giroux is a wise move for Zito, but hopefully I'm proven wrong.

 

[not a troll]

Hate us cause you ain't us... Typical Yank shit

I live in San Diego. There are absolutely no cities in the entire state of Florida that I'd rank above San Diego in terms of quality of life and certainly not Sarasota.

 

[Beezeral]

There isn't that much cap space. Maybe it's possible to add Giroux and defender, but it's not easy.

ehh. get philly to retain 50%, pay a 5th round pick to get a 3rd team to retain another 50% and then trade a Vatrano or Acciari for a pick to create even more space. It's not that hard.

 

[Bunch of Jurcos]

Florida is going to score 10 goals a game before it's all over.

 

[Gentle Man]

^If you cant fix your problem.

Then you simply have to outplay them. Simple

 

[hughdreamz]

Florida definitely has the better package to offer.

 

[Lindberg]

Wouldn't surprise me if this was a bit of a rumor to get the offers turning a bit. I highly doubt Giroux is going to turn down the team if they receive a good offer from a club. The guy has been a true professional for the Flyers and I can't see him bailing on them now when it would only come down to a few months of play if he wanted to re-sign in Philly.

 

[HabsWhiteKnightLOL]

Giroux might want to come to Florida but florida doesnt need him at all.

They need a dman or actual depth forwards who can play a 200 feet game.
They are already a powerhouse for scoring adding Giroux is useless.

Adding a star forward is never useless, especially when said star has a good defensive game

Rumours have had Florida looking into Giroux

Giroux doesnt fix the defensive issue who Florida has. Playoffs are also different. It won't be 6-1 games gotta have a tight D-squad

Well the Flyers have Thompson for that vet presence dumb coaches cobble up. You can have him for free.

I know well Nate Thompson since he played for us.. He is bad

 

[Mogo]

Denisenko, Vatrano + pick for Giroux

 

[KingsHockey24]

Okay but how bout sunny California Claude.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

This is odd to me as Florida should be shopping for a top 4 LHD imo. Sure more scoring is nice but shouldn't be the main priority here

Barkov needs a RW. They hoped Reinhart could fill that spot, but he has better chemistry on the Lundell line.

 

[SnS]

Denisenko, Vatrano + pick for Giroux

I’d pass. Unless it’s a first.

Double edit. I’d probably actually still pass. I don’t know. I’m torn.

 

[SnS]

Seemingly more unlikely. But who knows.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Everyone wants to move to Florida f*** me

I somehow misread this as: Everyone wants to move to Florida to f*** me

 

[BrindamoursNose]

That's the exact same thing Buffalo fans said.

Except for the fact that Taylor Hall was a Sabre for about 7 months. We've had Giroux since....2006?

The relationship is vastly different.
