Not like it's a surprise, but as @BroadStBull alluded to, the #Flyers are out on Johnny Gaudreau.

Ottawa has put together a better team than the flyers have on the ice

Other franchises move forward while chuck "fleeced" Fletcher moves our franchise back another 4 years

Roo is probably so glad to be out of this place

Good for g but it was time to move on for both. I doubt he wanted to re sign here anyway.

Doesn’t shock me. Not much reason to watch the team this year I’d say. Tony d is the marquee pickup. Yay!

I wish G luck. He didn't get the respect that he deserved here but no way is he worth 6.5m for 3 years. Ottawa has to pay to play I guess

That’s a great contract. Not sure what you’re talking about . Especially since it’s just 3 years

Even if he doesn't. He basically does.

It would take a momentary lapse into sanity on the part of CF to do it. One can hope.

Maybe he’ll be back to full form with a better team. I just didn’t think he’d get that much. And I’m a big fan of g.

If chuck fleeced Felcher trades away a 1st to unload JVR I will be putting together a pitchfork posse to go remove him from office. You're all invited

I'm a Giroux fan, but his time in Philly is over. Even if he came back to Philly on a Cap friendly contract it wouldn't have helped this team move forward. Time to see what the kids can do and then make some moves. I'm sure Chuck Fletcher will make some bad moves this summer. I hope he proves me wrong....

You have Risto at $5.5M. G is worth at least a bit more than that.

Wrong again -- the people you praised are still in charge - and the moves you praised are why the organization is in the state that it is currently in

I didn't think that there was a bigger clown than chuckles -- but I think I may have been wrong about that

- corduroy


He posted umpteen times telling others to listen to Fletcher's press conferences that he wasn't going to be aggressive and trade future assets to try and win now this off season. What do you know. He is wrong again.

If true then why buyout Lindblom? Too resign Frost and Allison? If that’s the case this GM isn’t just a poor GM….he’s (frank)ing incompetent,

I disagree completely. That's a great deal for Giroux.

He's not the player that Geno is and that's what Geno got paid. And for this floundering franchise it's too much to spend for a team that is going nowhere

Ottawa will make the playoffs this year

I take no credit.

Merely relayed info I had

Not fake sources like these morons in media


Like I said weeks ago good source that made sense. Where the wife goes the hubby goes. Me thinks they probably had deal ready long time ago.

Go to Florida try to win cup then settle down with good young team.
