Confirmed Signing with Link: [OTT] F Claude Giroux signs with the Senators (3 years, $6.5M AAV)

[Maverick41]

I am a little worried about Tkachuk, Stützle, Batherson, Norris and Chabot.
This has to be so confusing to them. I hope they can adjust to playing with players that are actually good.

Timmy going to be confused when he makes a great pass and the shot isn’t flubbed, or he gets a pass back to his stick vs in his skate.

Good day to be a Sens fan!

 

[therealkoho]

I might renew my season tix, Sens are going to be fun to watch if they can sign Giroux

 

[scallionjj11]

I don’t think there is 10 goalies better then him. I think he’s better then Lehner, Bob, Flury, Jarry, and Kuemper

wtf?

f*** me this is exciting. What a great time to be a Sens fan.

 

[scallionjj11]

I view Swayman as a top 10 goalie

anyone else reading this craziness?

He's in town waiting to sign at noon, according to Steve Loyd.

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

This is so surreal.

 

[Unbiased Fan]

...you did hear we traded Matt Murray right?

Cam Talbot is no better

anyone else reading this craziness?

Have you seen him play? He’s far better then Ullmark who isn’t to bad himself

you gotta be trolling at this point

lol yes i have watched him play. Just because he's better than Ullmark doesn't mean he is a top 10 goalie in the league.

BUT, Talbot costs a lot less $$$, only has 1 year left on his contract., and is not injury prone.

That is true. I’ll take Murray over Talbot cap aside tho. But that is more or less based off him bouncing back.

My brother in Christ, we were making the exact same arguments ("he'll bounce back") when Ottawa first traded for Murray. It's pure copium at this point.

Why is Dorion getting so much credit? Sure the DeBrincat deal was amazing for Ottawa but that was only made possible after he was saved from himself when he tried to do 7th + Murray for 16. Giroux wants Ottawa because it's his home. Not sure Dorion deserves credit for where G was conceived.

Great offseason for the Sens but feels like some softballs for Dorion.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Excited to see the Senators next year.

That forward group should be alot of fun to watch.

Well, the bar is low, for one.

Incidentally, there have been sources stating that instead of the 7OA, Ottawa would have sent Grieg or another prospect to Chicago if the Buffalo trade had gone through.

You can only hit what's thrown to you.

Expectations Dorion-wise were extremely low based on a previous track record of abject failure.

I hated the Senators as a kid and took great joy in seeing them lose to the Ducks. I came around on them a bit during their Cinderella run in 2017 so I'm conflicted seeing Giroux go to a team I used to despise so heavily.

He'll be a great influence to the young guys and I can't imagine he won't keep putting up points despite his age. Giroux is a treasure and maybe I'll end up having to get a Sens sweater with his name on it since I think they're some of the best in the league.

 

[Bevans]

What? 7m?

That would be a pretty crazy contract. I was thinking 5.5x3 or 6.5x2.

E Kane and Malkin present good benchmarks, but at same time they each have warts and are re-signing.

I would expect the giroux contract to one of:

2x8
3x7
4x6

Anything less at each year is a win. Shorter the contract the better.

 

[ottawa]

He's only 34 so no 35+ contract for him, good for the sens.

Hoping we see the old Dorion here with 1 too many years and a million too much.

It better be lower. If they pay those amounts, that's a rare 2022 Dorion L.

Giroux is still a star. Why would he have to take way less than guys like Malkin and Kane. Look at Nichushkin and rakell.

Shorter term costs more money.

You might want to spend the next 11 minutes considering the comps before you get disappointed.
