REPORT: A surprise team invites itself in the race for Claude Giroux

According to multiple reports, neither the Panthers or the Flyers are legitimate options for Giroux this summer, so he will probably sign with a new team during the off-season.

The Ottawa Senators, the Carolina Hurricanes and the Colorado Avalanche have been listed as the teams interested in the services of the former Flyers captain. However, another surprise team could invite itself in the race: the Edmonton Oilers.

According to Pierre LeBrun, they are doing their due diligence in the case they can't re-sign Evander Kane.
