The Philadelphia Flyers have struggled mightily this season, as they currently sit at 15-25 and second-to-last in the Metropolitan Division. The Flyers have lost 10-plus games twice this season and clearly do not have realistic playoff aspirations at this point. That has led to some trade speculation on veteran center Claude Giroux, who also happens to be a Philadelphia legend and the longest tenured member of the franchise. Giroux, 34, would seem to be the perfect chip for the Flyers to move at the NHL trade deadline in an effort to jumpstart their rebuild. The Flyers veteran got honest on his future ahead of the trade deadline, via NHL.com.

“I haven't had a chance to talk to Chuck,” Giroux said Wednesday. “We have a lot of things to talk about, what's best for the Flyers organization, what's best for me, and we'll just go from there.”

Flyers center Claude Giroux said that he hasn't had a chance to speak to Philly GM Chuck Fletcher but noted that the two will have to discuss ” a lot of things,' starting with what's best for both parties.

The Flyers GM brought up Giroux's no-move clause, saying that the decision will ultimately be up to the veteran center, who spoke of remaining committed to winning games for Philly.

Giroux leads the Flyers in points and assists and would make a fine addition to a contending NHL team at the trade deadline. It remains to be seen what will happen, though as the GM said, the decision will ultimately be up to Claude Giroux.
