Flyers want more if they are trading Braun too

They can just lose him in FA this summer for free 50. That’s fine

youre gonna have to give up a first at least for Giroux, not a cap dumb, bust, B level prospects and mid round picks

Deslauriers and McDermid on the same team.... LOL.

If the market isn't there, you may find some players being re-signed or own-rentals for bubble teams. Teams not willing to pay now, may find themselves without a dance partner later.
It depends if you're looking for a deal and are willing to wait it out, or if you're after "your guy" and playing chicken. You can definitely find deals if you aren't being picky, but if you want a Giroux, you either pay up or risk faceplanting.

I get your point, but Giroux is maybe the best rental ever. He'll definitely get a better return than that

It depends what Sharks do with Hertl

You can just hold him then.

Its not that, the Flyers could just trade him elsewhere for more
