Giroux UFA 22-23 Playoffs

Created by: clk_007
Team: 2022-23 Ottawa Senators
Initial Creation Date: Oct. 18, 2021
Published: Oct. 18, 2021
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
After a solid 2021-22 season in which the Sens battled for a playoff position, the Sens score their biggest UFA acquisition since Clarke MacArthur in hometown boy Claude Giroux!!

Lineup

FW1-a [Stutzle - Giroux - Batherson]

Stutzle and Batherson already have great chemistry, adding a vet & former all-star in Giroux will further help them grow while their style of play complements each other. Highly offensive line

FW1-b [Tkachuck - Norris - C. Brown]

More of a 2-way "play the right way" line who can also be a scoring threat.

FW3 [Formenton - Pinto - Paul/Ennis]

Another solid 2-way line, Formenton brings speed, Pinto brings smarts, Paul adds size

FW4 [Kelly - White/Tierney - Sokolov/Paul/Ennis]

"Energy/grind" line. Kelly's forecheck continues to be relentless pressuring the opposing d / Will be a management decision on keeping White or Tierney (buy one out or trade) / Sokolov gets a chance to play a lesser role and gets accustomed to the NHL speed on the checking line.

D1 [Chabot - Zub]

Solid chemistry between the two. "if it aint broke dont fix it"

D2 [Sanderson - JBD]

Depending on how 2021-22 season goes, Mete or Brannstrom could be higher in the lineup sending one of Sanderson or JBD to 3rd pair (If coach trusts Brannstrom on RD) Only one of Mete/Brannstrom will remain on 2022-23 squad IMO.

Sanderson joins team (maybe play a few 21-22 games if sens make playoffs)

D3 [Del Zotto - Thompson]

Lassi Thompson has been impressive in AHL and earns a shot

G1 Guss
G2 Murray/Soogard/Forsberg

Apparently the sens have a ton of options in net. Reminessant of the Lehner, Anderson, Bishop dilemma


Summary

This team is a playoff team, could also win a few rounds. Management has good internal competition and a few decisions on who to keep in the roster (White vs Tierney) (Mete vs Brannstrom) (Goalies).

They could also benefit from signing a RW if Sokolov isnt ready, Crookshank also a solid option

Given that giroux hasn’t won a cup, I think Ottawa would have to have a big time proof of concept year to entice him to sign

Allegedly it's where he wants to be. It was reported recently that Ottawa was the only place he'd waive for. Now I don't know if that means "he wants to go to Ottawa" or "if he has to leave Philly he only wants to go to Ottawa", but I think Ottawa's odds of landing him are pretty good either way. He already has deep roots in the area, as it's where his wife is from and it's where he lives in the summers anyway. It's not THAT farfetched an idea imo.

Intersting. I’d figure he would want to chase rings

This has not been reported as any sort of fact or evidence, a guy on the radio said that was his opinion lol
