Let’s just come out and say it. The numbers were nowhere near what we’ve seen Claude Giroux post for the Flyers before. His assists stand out the most as they saw a hefty decline from last season. Now 32-years-old, is it fair to say Giroux could be heading into a decline in production?
Looking at just his point totals, the answer would be yes. He posted 102 points just two seasons ago, followed by the 85 he posted last season. And with 53 points currently, that is a huge decline in production. But, we aren’t just looking at his point totals.
