Did Giroux make the wrong choice? After 15 seasons with the Orange & Black, Philly's ex captain decided to join the Florida Panthers with the hope of winning the Stanley Cup for the first time in his NHL career.
However, the Panthers lost their third game in a row against the Tampa Bay Lightning, putting them one game away from being knocked out of the playoffs. It's ironic considering that Giroux pushed in the Panthers' direction when he could have gone to Colorado.
At the moment, the Avalanche are leading 2-1 against the Blues and are the favorites to go through the next round. Bringing Giroux aboard would have reinforced the Colorado side and make them an even bigger threat to the other teams. His NMC gave him the right to choose where he wanted to go, but maybe now he'll regret not choosing the Avalanche
