Stars get paid, that is just the way it is. Could be worse. I have no problem paying a star player in his prime, especially one that is home grown.

if it's one player that deserves a NMC on this team it's him. some fans will bitch about the money but name me 3 other centers in the game that are better than him.

malkin, datsyuk, stamkos, towes, sedin, crosbitch Problem with Datsyuk is that he's 34 & Giroux's numbers are 25 are nearly identical to him. Giroux has the potential to be as good as Datsyuk. Stamkos is pretty much strictly an offensive player. I'd still trade Giroux for him but he doesn't do much on the defensive side of the puck. Toews is better than G No on Sedin....another defensive liability. The real point of asking the question is not to point out the scarcity of players like Giroux, but to also show that even the ones that are as good or better aren't coming here. The Flyers aren't acquiring Toews, Datsyuk, Stamkos or Malkin.....you couldn't get them if you wanted, so you pay the guy that's in their elite status, even though he doesn't quite have their pedigree yet.

IMO Giroux is a better player than Toews and it's a toss up with Malkin.

you can also make a case that the reason why Malkin and Toews are even brought up in this conversation is that Malkin has supporting him and Toews has a better supporting cast around him. I think Vinny will help take some of that pressure off Claude and many teams won't be able to just focus on shutting the G line down now.

I think at times Giroux is better than toews but I think toews is a lot more consistant
