Giroux for me, thank you.
I think it's very close. Right now, I'd take Giroux. Ask again at season's end.

If I had to pick one I'd go with Giroux. If I had Seguin, would I trade him for Giroux? I can't say for sure that I would, because it's pretty close. I currently own Hall and I'm even having debates over whether I really want to give him up in a package for Giroux.

Sorry for reviving an old thread but it made me curious. One year later, do you still feel the same way on this question?

I'd go for Seguin, primarily because he's younger and has a better team around him.

I have the exact same pick and I'm facing the exact same dilemma as you. I think 1-4 will be McDavid, Crosby, Ovi, Tavares. That would leave me with either Seguin, Giroux or Stammer at 6. I think if that's the case I would take Stammer.. But if he's off the board at 5 I think the safer pick is Giroux.. Do you guys think the choice is as obvious in multi-category leagues that count hits, blocks, pim's?
I would take Seguin for the goals and shots. Those cats are harder to come by.

Seguin. Hes 4 years younger.
One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
Between seguin and giroux they are so close its hard to choose, I think seguin has higher upside EVENTUALY. People are saying they'd pick seguin because he's younger, I look at it the opposite way in i'd pick giroux because he's "older" . Giroux is 27, seguin is 23...since u can only keep said player for 4yrs max (in 4 yrs time giroux will be 31 and seguin 27)... why not use giroux until the TAIL END of his "prime" years than try to get seguin for the START of his prime years...itd make no sense to get seguin now and have to give him up right before he hits his "supposed" prime. And giroux's proven durable. My 2 cents.

I get what your saying, idealy it would be easier to trade a 27 yr old compared to 31 year old, but truly elite players dont grow on trees so if you have some wouldnt u rather use them during their peek years instead of before or after the primetime? If you have some then thats the time you should be going for the league championship, when their at their best. If your constantly trading them before their best years, your fantasy team will most likely finish in the middle of the standings everytime. Also truly elite players hold their value much longer so when giroux's 31 i'm sure it wouldn't be hard to find a willing trade partner

Giroux is one of my top 3 favourite players, but strictly from a fantasy perspective I'm going with Seguin here.
I think Seguin comes out ahead over a 4 year span.
