I don't think Giroux was picked too early. He is a young player who is coming of a great 76 point year which was good enough for 13th overall (he got picked 16th overall which Patrick Marleau was in overall points last year just to give a comparison.) He's going to be taking over a bigger role now with the departures of Richards and Carter but he still has a great team and has the potential to build on top of his numbers from last year. I was shocked to see the pick myself but I think it's a great pick at the same time.
