If neither are keepers, I'd personally go Giroux here and hope he has a smooth transition in OTT.
I can't fathom him not being the "controller" of PP1 in OTT... which is where your cats really favour.
It is for a keeper pool but neither would be keepers its a throw in for a trade and i can get either player. we count G A shots PPG PPA SHP hits and blocks. I think they are close in value for next season.
Thoughts
Year 18 keeper pool. 10 GM roto pool. Keep 2 Centers, 3 Wings,3 Defence,1 Goalie,1 extra. and Prospects up to 5 years after drafted if not activated.
G, A ,PPG, PPA, Shots, Hits, Blocks, SHP,W, GAA, Sv%, SO ( goals and assist are worth 1.5 points) (shp worth .5)

One year only, I also gamble on Giroux. Although the PP is concerning, they have so many options (Tkachuk, Batherson, Norris, Stutzle, Chabot, Debrincat, Giroux).
I'll go with Giroux here too. I think he'll get tons of pp time and play es with stutzle and debrincat most of the time.
Giroux could get 65 points and nobody would be surprised really. If Hischier hit that we'd be saying nice good for him, long time coming and hope this is a sign of things to come.
Another vote for Giroux

Giroux all the way.

I think Giroux will have a good season. 65-75 points is very realistic if he can mesh with that young core. In the long run obviously I like Hischier since he has a lot of room for improvement.
Call me old one more time.
