I have Giroux and he is great, but I would trade his ass in a heartbeat to get Stamkos.
Hey Guys,
Sorry to make this so urgent but I was wondering who you like now and in the future. I know Giroux is a darling around here but would you trade him for Stamkos? I have no chance this year and I'm trying to build a solid core of keepers. The Stamkos owner is might temped by my offer.
Giroux, Dustin Brown and his 5th round back for Stamkos.

Stamkos by far. If Giroux has back to back 90 point seasons, he will be equal to Stamkos. So I'd rather have the player that is already at that level.

Generally speaking, Stamkos is #1 and Giroux #2 in a keeper in my books.
In your format, with Goals being worth double Assists, then Stamkos is untouchable.
Make that trade ASAP.
Maybe in a points only format....Giroux is a top team and struggles to keep a plus, his shots are average...on pace for just over 200 and the kid doesn't take very many penalties...not to mention he's more a play maker than a raw goal scorer like stammer.
I can think handful of guys I would keep over Giroux...
If that trade comes up in any way close to that...it's a no brainer, grab stammer - he's probably the #1 player in any format.
