With the Flyers hiring a new coach who relies on veterans and Giroux is clearly their heart-and-soul, there's no way that Philly ever considers trading him for a questionable prospect and draft picks.
Similarly, all you need to see is the Sharks' reaction as a team when Pavelski was seriously injured and hear the player interviews to know that Pavelski is revered in San Jose by players, management and fans. They won't allow him to walk away in free agency.
If you take those two scenarios out of the mix, the roster pretty much looks unchanged....?
