The Florida Panthers and the Philadelphia Flyers made a big trade on Saturday when the Flyers sent Claude Giroux, German Rubtsov, and a fifth-round pick in ...
Giroux has been one of the best players of his generation, and yet he has very little success to show for it. Despite how bad the Flyers have been, now former-captain Claude Giroux has been having a great season. The Florida Panthers haven’t been true contenders for a long long time.
Longtime Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux has been traded. An era at the Wells Fargo Center is now over. What is the legacy left behind?
The legacy Giroux leaves with the Flyers is a positive one yet also a tenure of missed chances. Giroux was a more minor member of the Flyers roster. The Flyers never completely punted. Admittedly, I’ve been checked out for a good portion of the time Giroux was the team captain. Like a lot of Philadelphia sports fans who didn’t rank the Flyers as number one in their hearts, my interest in them varied from year-to-year. The Philadelphia Flyers were a big part of my 1990s sports fandom.

Again, spread the word and subscribe! Philly Hockey Now writes that Giroux, now former-captain of the Flyers, leaves a lasting legacy. The fun part of deadline time is that everyone is included, in one way or another. Andrew Brunette said Ekblad is “going to be OK.” — Giroux picked the Panthers — and that should make fans of the Colorado Avalanche happy. The Trade Deadline comes Monday at 3 p.m. and the Panthers may — or may not be — done.
The Flyers dealt Giroux, Connor Bunnaman, prospect German Rubtsov, and a 2024 fifth-round pick to the Panthers in exchange for Owen Tippett, a 2024 or 2025 ...
The Panthers had the advantage in the trade. Though it doesn’t really help the Flyers right now, it could be a blessing in disguise seeing as COVID messed up minor league seasons and the scouting reports may not be the best. The Ducks also got what can be considered the best return for a rental in Hampus Lindholm that got a 2022 first-round pick, 2023 second-round pick, a 2024 second-round pick, Urho Vaakanainen, and John Moore from the Bruins. The picks are all high and Vaakanainen is a good young defender who should slot in the lineup this year if he returns from injury. The Bruins are close to signing Lindholm, but without that in play immediately, it is a huge haul for a rental defenceman. If done right, they could have him showing immediate signs of progress and be an impactful piece for next year and the future. Playing in 15 games this season, he went pointless and has spent most of the season with the Lehigh Valley Phantoms of the American Hockey League (AHL). There probably wasn’t much opportunity left for Bunnaman in Philadelphia after he failed to muster up much traction in the NHL over three seasons and has been passed over by many other prospects. Overall, the Flyers lost their captain whose future with the organization was in question after this year. The Flyers lost the longest-tenured captain in their history, but it seemed inevitable since they once again were set to miss the playoffs. It’s clear Giroux isn’t the over a point per game player he once was, but he can still provide a great deal of offence that will be missed on the Flyers. If they don’t bring him back next season, it frees up over $8 million in cap space to work with. It will be the first time the team misses in back-to-back seasons since 1992-93 and 1993-94. Emily Caplan reported that the Panthers’ package was aggressive, but not as aggressive compared to the Colorado Avalanche or Boston Bruins. Leaks of what could have been may come out in the future, but for now we are left to wonder. They gave up just one first-round pick pretty far in the future.
FILADELFIA (AP) — Después de 1.000 juegos y un reinado como el capitán de equipo con más años de servicio en la historia de los Flyers, Claude Giroux viaja ...
1000 games. 900 points. 15 years of memories. A look back at the 10 best Claude Giroux moments, and a few more as well.
Giroux certainly brought a set of skills to the Flyers as a young player. The Flyers took a 3-2 loss against the Florida Panthers in Sunrise, FL, that night. Giroux simply moved in with speed to start, then put on the brakes as he approached the front of the net. On Dec. 10, 2021, Giroux moved into a special place in the Flyers history books. Though he did not score or record a point in his 1,000th NHL game, Giroux got the sendoff he deserved. On Jan. 27, 2021, Giroux suited up for his 611th game as captain, becoming the franchise’s longest tenured captain. The Flyers turned to Giroux in the third round of the shootout. Before the Game 3 overtime winner in the Stanley Cup Final, before the historical comeback against the Bruins in the Eastern Conference Semifinals, the Flyers still had to clinch their spot on the final day of the regular season. Giroux had already reached 99 points and 31 goals, both already career-high marks, when the New York Rangers came to town for the final game of the season. That’s when Giroux emerged with the biggest goal of his career. In just 32 seconds, Giroux put his stamp on the game. His shot stayed along the ice and leaked through Matt Murray, giving the Flyers a dramatic win.
Claude Giroux, this season's All-Star game MVP, is coming to Florida in a move designed to strengthen the Panthers' status as a Stanley Cup contender.
The destination turned out to be Florida as the Flyers traded Giroux to the Panthers on Saturday night. In return for the 15-year Flyer and beloved captain, the ...
"Claude has been one of the most complete talents in the National Hockey League for over a decade," Panthers general manager Bill Zito said in a statement released by the team. "Claude is one of the best players to ever wear a Flyer uniform." A team trading for Giroux is getting an illustrious player still performing at a high level, but potentially for only a month-plus and a postseason run. Had he gone elsewhere then, the Flyers would have gotten nothing in return for one of their best players in franchise history. Giroux is in the final year of his eight-year, $66.2 million contract, which had a no-movement clause. In return for the 15-year Flyer and beloved captain, the club received winger Owen Tippett, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and a 2023 third-round pick.

The Florida Panthers have acquired forward Claude Giroux from the Philadelphia Flyers, and the trade already looks like a steal for the Cats.
His first chance to take the ice with his new club will be Thursday when it takes on the Montreal Canadiens. Instead, they get no draft picks in the upcoming draft, and the first-round pick that they acquired may not be theirs until 2025. If the Flyers can get something out of him that the Panthers could not, then maybe this trade looks a little better. Giroux’s impact does not need to be reiterated, as it has been well-documented in the lead-up to this deal. Forward Owen Tippett will also make his way to the City of Brotherly Love. The Cats acquired long-time Philadelphia Flyers captain Claude Giroux on Saturday, and they practically stole him from his former club.
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Claude Giroux will try to win his first Stanley Cup in Florida. The Philadelphia Flyers have traded Giroux after he played his 1,000th ...
He helped the Flyers reach the 2010 Stanley Cup finals and was awarded the All-Star MVP this season. The Flyers have long been out of championship contention. The team watched Joel Quenneville step down as coach seven unbeaten games into the season as part of the fallout from the Chicago Blackhawks’ scandal involving an abused player — something that happened when Quenneville coached there more than a decade ago. Drafted in the first round in 2006, Giroux made his Philadelphia debut on Feb. 19, 2008, and has played his entire career with the Flyers. He has 900 career points and is eighth on the Flyers’ career list with 291 goals. But Giroux's 1,000th game was a rare occasion to celebrate in Philadelphia. Clarke presented Giroux with the silver stick to mark the occasion, and he was given a Rolex watch by his teammates and a crystal by the NHL. Giroux also has played in 85 career playoff games for Philadelphia. Giroux was traded after he played his 1,000th game with the Flyers and was feted Thursday with a game in his honor.
Flyers contributor Bill Meltzer evaluates Philadelphia's trade with the Florida Panthers.
Even had there been a bidding war for Giroux, the Flyers were not going to be able to be able in short order to fill the void left in the lineup and the locker room. He has not played at all in the NHL since a four-game stint in 2019-20. Not for the coaches who leaned heavily on the player or for the organization itself. On Thursday, it was easy to get caught up in the emotion of the celebration night for Claude Giroux's 1,000th game in a Flyers' uniform. It's also a conditional pick, with the condition being that Florida has the option of giving the Flyers' their 2025 first rounder instead if the 2024 first-round pick lands in the top 10 of the Entry Draft. However, it should also be noted that first-round picks are valuable assets to keep in their pocket to either use down the road or trade in a future deal for an NHL roster player. Not for the player himself. Not for the fan base. Not for the coaches who leaned heavily on the player or for the organization itself. Not for the player himself. Not for the teammates he leaves behind. Not for the fan base. Not for the teammates he leaves behind.
The Florida Panthers' chances at a Stanley Cup went up significantly as they traded for star forward Claude Giroux.
The Panthers sit atop the Eastern Conference with a 42-14-6 record, for 90 points with 20 games left. It’s a huge addition for the already powerful Panthers offense. So, this trade is likely a rental for a couple months, solely with the goal of helping the Panthers win a Stanley Cup in mind.
Fletcher isn't frustrated with the return he received from the Florida Panthers in the Giroux trade, which he called “fair” — young forward Owen Tippett, a ...
Mayhew had six goals in 25 games with the Flyers this season. In 61 games this season primarily on the top pairing alongside Ivan Provorov, Braun has five goals and 11 assists. Now, Giroux will aim to win his first Stanley Cup as a member of the Panthers and the Flyers will move on without him. He touted several attributes that the 6-foot-1, 207-pound Tippett possesses, including his “size, speed, skating, shot.” “We talk about our age distribution all the time internally and we’re trying to build a core of players under the age of 25 that can play together here for a long time,” Fletcher said. Instead, his frustration is rooted in his own perception that the Flyers’ front office did its best to surround Giroux with the right talent but has no Stanley Cup, and just nine playoff appearances in Giroux’s 15 years of service, to show for it.
