The Flyers have traded captain Claude Giroux to the Panthers for Owen Tippett, a first-round pick and a third-round pick.
“I know it’s tough when you leave a team, but I actually didn’t realize how tough it is and I wish I knew back then,” Giroux said on Thursday. “It’s not something that is really fun.”, the realities of the Flyers’ poor 2021-22 season, his age, and his desire to win a Cup created the perfect storm for a trade. The 42-14-6 Panthers sit atop the Atlantic Division and boast talented players including Jonathan Huberdeau, Aleksander Barkov, Sam Reinhart, and Aaron Ekblad.
On March 13, Giroux scored his 900th career point with a second-period goal against the Montreal Canadiens. That goal marked his 291st in his career, pulling him ahead of Eric Lindros for eighth in Flyers history. Named the 19th Flyers’ captain on Jan. 13, 2013, Giroux was the longest-tenured captain in franchise history. During the 2020-21 season, Giroux played his 611th game as Flyers team captain to pass Clarke’s record set in 1984.
