He's in his 30's now dude and not a great skater so his shortcomings will be more pronounced. Keep him as he still is nice depth but do not expect prolific production.
Giroux is on pace for a 53 pt season 20 games in. After averaging over 90 for the past two seasons. Lovin the LW,C,RW eligibility in yahoo however.
Have things changed in Philly? Any thought on why he’s slumping and what to expect moving forward? Big disappointment this year as a 3rd rounder for me.

According to his underlying numbers he’s creating more offensive opportunities this year than he had last year but has been snakebitten so far. See tweet below.

Voracek has declined, so Giroux isn't playing with anybody elite this year too.

He's also been playing at center with Patrick injured and Giroux has never been good at center. Plus the young guys like Konecny and Lindblom have been off to scorching starts (probably unsustainable) so they've been getting favorable ice time and PP time. Once they cool off some I can see AV leaning back on the Giroux/Voracek types some more.
In the short term Philly just called up Morgan Frost and it looks like they've put him at C with Giroux back on the wing so maybe that'll help.
