Though this has been a lost season for the Flyers, it's good to see the captain setting an example for their other young players down the stretch.","date":"Tue Apr 23"},"fullName":"Claude Giroux","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"Giroux brings exceptional playmaking and offensive instincts to the ice, and it won't hurt him one bit that Jaromir Jagr will no longer be his linemate. The Philadelphia Flyers didn't bring in any big guns on offense during the offseason, but the team could afford to lose Jagr with a seemingly endless supply of NHL-ready prospects. Whether it's Jakub Voracek who gets to show off some offensive muscles we haven't seen fully flexed yet or one of the sophomore players like Sean Couturier, Brayden Schenn or Matt Read who gets to step up, Giroux will be just fine adapting to their style of play. Scott Hartnell will continue to help make room on the ice and Giroux should have little trouble coming close to a repeat of as one of the league's leading scorers. Giroux brings everything to the fantasy table, including a league-leading 38 power-play points last season, and his 65 assists were second only to Henrik Sedin. You should be very comfortable starting with Giroux and building your team around him. Giroux did have a neck injury playing in Germany during the lockout, but is expected to be ready for the NHL season to begin.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Thu Jan 10"},"playerRater30DAY":9.8,"playerRater15DAY":8.1,"positionRank":12}
