I'm not arguing here, but I think there is one more angle that is not being spoken about
:
The belief that within the organization, once his current contract runs out, he would be willing to sign a long-term, cap-friendly deal for the Flyers, that possibly takes him to retirement.
Virtually promising that Giroux has goal scorer on his wing for a decade.
The tandum has to be attractive to the brass.
