Ya, I don't know I got the groupings right at all, that's tough as players have unique strengths and weaknesses... my point is Giroux (along with Tavares and Malkin, if you like)... are NOT as valuable to ANY team compared to players like Crosby, Toews and even Stamkos... and, some of high-end D like Keith and Weber.

In that respect (the fact he's mentioned in that grouping) I consider Giroux to be over-rated... I suppose I'd say the same thing about Kopitar and Bergeron if they were mentioned in that group, so I was mistaken there, for sure... trying a little too hard to make a point.
