This Panthers forward is on Flyers radar in potential Giroux trade

The Florida Panthers are among numerous teams that are reportedly interested in Claude Giroux.

On Wednesday, Special Assistant to the Flyers GM Daniel Brière observed the game between the Hershey Bears and the Charlotte Checkers (Panthers AHL affiliate team) to look at potential targets.

GM Chuck Fletcher is in attendance at tonight's game between Lehigh Valley and Charlotte, along with Brière. It is believed that the Flyers are targeting forward Owen Tippett. At 23 years old, the winger registered 7 points in 6 games with the Checkers. He also played 42 games with the Panthers, scoring 14 points.
