TBH, I think it would cost more to get Giroux. Also, seeing as he'll be in the last year of his deal AND we aren't going to win the Cup, I'm not sure it makes sense for Ottawa unless we believe we want, AND CAN, re-sign him on a reasonable deal with a 3 years or less term. Something like a $7M X3. But I'm pretty sure Giroux would rather take a pay cut and go to a team that's a favourite for the Cup... that's not Ottawa, YET.
* Side note: I wouldn't separate Tkachuk - Norris - Batherson. IF we had Giroux I would put Stützle on his left and see which of Dadonov, White and C Brown works best on the right.
