Senators Re-Sign Veteran Forward Claude Giroux to One-Year Contract
Claude Giroux’s deal includes a $2 million base salary, $3 million in performance bonuses and a full no-movement clause, PuckPedia reported.
- On Tuesday, the Ottawa Senators re-signed 38-year-old forward Claude Giroux to a one-year contract worth up to $5 million, including a $2 million base salary and $3 million in performance bonuses.
- After speculation linked the Hearst, Ontario, native to a potential return to the Philadelphia Flyers, Giroux decided to remain with Ottawa, citing his desire to stay with the team he considers family.
- The contract includes a full no-movement clause; because Giroux is over 35, the Senators can carry performance bonuses to next year's cap, including the $1.5 million bonus for 10 games played.
- Ottawa general manager Steve Staios praised the veteran's commitment, noting the decision shows his belief in the group; entering his 20th NHL season, Giroux provides essential leadership to the Senators' core.
- With Giroux committed to Ottawa, the Flyers remain focused on potentially acquiring Anaheim Ducks star center Leo Carlsson, as Philadelphia had hoped to reunite with their former captain but will pursue other targets.
