I prefer Kane
I have had talks with the Kane G/M re: a trade here as well.
Cats: G, A, +/-, PIMS, SOG, PPP
P.Kane is a RW and Roo is a C.
I have always liked Kane however my gut tells me I'm better off with Giroux.
Even though Giroux gives me 4 centers (Backstrom, Duchene, H.Sedin).
A keep 6: (Giroux, Backstrom, Rask, Letang, Hall, Duchene) with Seguin, Pietrangelo, Quick & H.Sedin on the outside looking in.
Not sure that a Giroux for Kane swap makes my keepers better... thoughts ?

I prefer Kane
Up until this season I would have taken Giroux. Kane began casting doubt with a pretty beastly year last season and is obviously outplaying Giroux this season. I think they will normally be pretty close in production with Kane averaging a little higher output.

I doubt there will ever be a time to buy low on Giroux like there is now...I would do it without hesitation.

he has Giroux he is asking about trading him for Kane
as to the question at hand it depends on which stats you are strong or weak in really as both players are pretty even imo
if you need G and SOG Kane is your player if you need A and PPP Giroux is your player
the difference in +/- and PIMS as well as overall points is pretty negligible at best between these two players
When at the top of their games these kids are very similar but I give the slight nod to P.Kane. The fact that you already have a stud C in Backstrom solidifies it for me. I'd make the trade, then as my 6 keeps, I'd roll with:
C - Backstrom
RW - P.Kane
LW - Hall
UT - Duchene
D - Letang / Pietrangelo
G - Rask
But you do have some trade chips for another upgrade - H.Sedin, Seguin, (one of) Letang / Pietrangelo and Quick could all be bundled in some fashion to upgrade your C or D. I'd look at something like Letang, Quick and Sedin for Karlsson / Subban.
