Gents,

With all the Brouhaha in Philly, do you still expect Claude Giroux to make the team in 07-08? I remember Dobber mentionned him as a \"shoe in\" to make it, but now with all the newcomers...

Thoughts?

Blue.

I am looking at picking him up in our Entry Draft this fall. Not so much for 07-08, but for 08-09.

I would like to know how he fits into the new Flyers team and if the changes will effect his upside good or bad.

if he makes it its as a 4th liner which is how it should be or he will be sent up and down in case of injuries. he probably would be better off getting top minutes in ahl and be the first call-up. if he does not play with a top centermen i don\'t see him hitting his upside.

He won\'t make it now. No way. I have Downie barely making it as a fourth liner, or perhaps a midseason callup. Giroux will have to wait a year.

Its pretty toough for him to make the team now with all the signings. I drafted him in my pool this year and I am hoping he gets a good year in the minors to help him for the future!!! Hopefully when he does make it to Philly he will be on the top 2 lines.
