Giroux takes faceoffs. They've been going with Derek Grant/Scott Laughton/Nate Thompson as 3C and 4C because Giroux plays LW and can't play center anymore
.
Hayes has been a very capable 2C this year. Because of Giroux moving to wing and Patrick having migraines, 2C was their biggest concern, and overpaying was the only way to address that.
Flyers have a nice window with Hart on his ELC, and a lot of great young players and prospects. I could see them making moves to put themselves over the top, but they also need cap space to sign these young players and keep their window open. I can't see how Gaudreau can fit in with
Giroux - 8.3
Voracek - 8.2
JvR - 7
Hayes - 7
If Seattle takes or can be bribed into taking Voracek or JvR, I could see the Flyers going all out in 2021-2022.
