I think the "34 year old" part just attempts to diminish Giroux's actual value. You add him, he's immediately your 3rd highest scorer, coming over from a team that is 28th in the league in goals scored.
That being said, it's all going to come down to if Giroux is willing to waive, and where he's willing to waive to. There's a pretty decent chance that he say, "I will waive to play in _______", which gives the Flyers the old Taylor Hall NMC treatment, possibly limiting their return.
