Why sell giroux?

Tarasenko is not waiving for Edmonton, send him back to NYC

If he signs in Ottawa why not Edmonton?

He'd only play there for a quarter of the year (since this happens at the TDL) and would have a chance at winning. If he didn't sign in Ottawa I'd understand your argument but I could totally see him going to Edmonton now since he signed in ottawa

NGL, Id be tempted to get Giroux back. Probably only give Cates and 1st tho if we are playoff hunting.

Flyers declined

I just don't think he would move his family across the continent for a ~3 month stint where he likely won't re-sign in the summer. I'm obviously biased as a Rangers fan but I think he's coming back, Ottawa to NYC is a much shorter trip than Ottawa to Edmonton

I'd heavily assume NYR is higher on his list

He wouldn't have to fully move his family I don't think and could sign back in NYR over the summer for cheap (1.75-2 million probably) to end his career off while playing 2-3 months of hockey in Edmonton.

Would he prefer to go to NYR, 100%. But I wouldn't rule out Edmonton either
