Rumor: Claude Giroux may end up an Ottawa Senator this season

The season has just started and the rumors are swirling.

Earlier this week it was reported that both the Philadelphia Flyers and Claude Giroux have decided to not work on an extension but rather wait to the end of the season to see how both sides feel.

According to Pierre LeBrun, the Philadelphia Flyers and forward Claude Giroux are going to tuck away conversations about a contract extension until after the 2021-22 NHL season.https://t.co/BwghgIgMhW

Now there is word that the Flyers may actually attempt to move the 33 year old center before the trade deadline.

According to Al Morganti, he believes the only place Claude Giroux would willingly move to is the Ottawa Senators.

Giroux has a no movement clause which means he would have to approve any trade.
