Thread: Girardi
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rangersandislesfan</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Granta153</b></div><div>

NYR would give Dallas a pick because while they both have terrible contracts Lehtonen is only on for one more year opposed to Girardi who is on for 3 more. Rangers would need to sweeten the pot to get Dallas to take on Girardi contract for 3 years. And if they just want to buyout the player, Lehtonen would be much cheaper to buy out, so NYR would definitely need to give something else. That being said, I'm doing anything to get rid of Girardi and/Staal's contracts this summer. Don't want to buy both out tho, and preferably neither. Most likely can't find a trade for both tho</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JT_Miller</b></div><div>Giardi's decline has been a steep one and the changes that have been happening within the league aren't helping him either. His skating is awful compared to the players he goes up against and he alms never makes a solid first pass out of the zone. It's a shame that McDonagh's prime is being wasted because of the anchor he has been dragging around the past couple years. I think one of Girardi or Staal is bought out this offseason and if some tema did sign one of them for whatever reason it would be in a significantly reduced role and ALOT less money. (Something like 1 year @1.5mil max to play third pair) He just isn't an NHL defenseman anymore. The role of a dman is shifting toward a puck moving, fleet footed type of guy and away from a shot blocking, body taking dman and unfortunately that just isn't Girardis game.</div></div>

<strong>i'm going to ignore this 'Girardi is bad' stuff.</strong> Even Claude Giroux (who plays a lot against Girardi) says Girardi is the most underrated player in the league.</div></div>
