A Look at the Flyers' Reality (unknown)

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.

Claude Giroux was drafted by the Philadelphia Flyers in 2006 and for the first time since that time, he will not be a member of the Flyers organization.

It is not certain where he will slot into the lineup but the former 10th overall pick will have all eyes in the Wells Fargo Center on him when he steps on the ice. Flyers fan and players alike will be looking for someone to step up and fill the huge void left in the lineup. Nonetheless, the Flyers will have to be much better today if they want any chance of coming away with a victory.
