The Florida Panthers have acquired forwards Claude Giroux, Connor Bunnaman and German Rubtsov as well as a 2024 fifth-round draft selection from the Philadelphia Flyers in exchange for forward and former first round pick Owen Tippett, a conditional 2024 first-round selection and Florida’s 2023 third-round draft pick. The Flyers will retain 50% of Giroux’s salary cap hit.
Philadelphia will receive the Panthers first-round selection in the 2024 NHL Entry Draft, unless the pick falls within the top 10. In that event, the Flyers will receive Florida’s 2025 first-round selection.
The 34-year-old Giroux has appeared in 56 games with Philadelphia this season, ranking second on the club with 42 points (18G/24A), while leading the Flyers with 12 power-play points.
