Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Been lurking awhile here
Being offered Giroux for my Letang/Hanzal.
Letang is such a good player with some injury risk while Giroux has some risk of potentially not turning it around to justify his draft position. Hanzal provides scoring options.

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
I'd take that deal. Giroux had an awful start but he has started to pour it on in the last few weeks. Hanzal I don't trust to continue to put up points, His PIM and HIT numbers are nice and he's somehow a + but I expect Arizona to come crashing back to earth. Letang has been steady but is a massive injury risk and isn't blowing the doors off.
Rule of thumb is usually get the best player in a 2-for-1 and Giroux is that, this is a great consolidation of talent in my mind.
What's your roster look like? What D-men can you grab off the wire (I'm assuming you'll add a D to replace Letang).

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Honestly, I think I'd take it as well.
As a Letang owner in a couple keepers, I can tell you that he's not the easiest guy to trade if you wanted to because most are afraid of his injury record. Same could be said for Hanzal although I don't own him in any of my leagues.
If you can get a stud forward for Letang and Hanzal, I'd do it.

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
I'd take the deal, as well. Giroux and an FA should be able to provide the same bang for the as a healthy Letang and Hanzal. Unfortunately, Letang and Hanzal are more likely to end up on IR. Play it safe, make the deal.

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Letang and Hanzal are both quite injury-prone. I would prefer Giroux based on the fact that one or both players will miss 25 games at some point in the near future.
Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Like MD said it's all about who you have available to pick up. At first glance I would also take this deal, but I'd like to know what you'll be able to snatch as a replacement.
I tend to do these kinds of deals a lot actually. Trade 2 players for one elite player, replace the empty roster spot with a serviceable FA. it's all about what the net value is you'll be getting back and without knowing what kind of players are available it's hard to say for certain.
Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Two very injury prone guys for Giroux.
Oh yes. Yes please.

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
I'd rather have Giroux, but I'm interested to know, what are the FA options since you're giving up two players for one.

Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
Sweet, thanks for all the varying opinions.
FA options a bit thin.
Shane doan, jason zucker, kris versteeg, alex burrows, michael stone (D), Tyler myers.
I want to try to counter and replace my letang with my barrie instead, though that might be too big of a drop-off for them to accept.

Letang and Hanzal are both massive injury risks. They can't contribute from IR.
Giroux, now that he has a Dman with a good shot, has been scoring more lately. Ghost really has invigorated that PP

Giroux and Stone (D) sounds good to me!
Re: Letang/Hanzal for Giroux?
I would take Giroux
