Giroux believes Sens' young core 'only going to get better' MORE:
PublishedOttawa Senators forward Claude Giroux joined TSN1200 Ottawa Wednesday morning to talk about the Sens' off-season moves, his excitement about the young core, and expectations for the upcoming season.
The team finished 39-35-8, six points out of the final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference. DeBrincat requested a trade during the off-season and was moved to the Detroit Red Wings in exchange for forward Dominik Kubalik, defenceman Donovan Sebrango, and a pair of draft picks. "We kind of saw it coming. It was his decision. We all enjoyed playing with DeBrincat," said Giroux, who was disappointed by the move but understands it from a business perspective.
"Sanderson is a guy that when he started playing for us was really good early in the season. After every 10 games he would just keep getting better, and at the end of the season we're scratching our heads like 'We have something special here," Giroux said."This kid is only going to keep getting better. He's very mature for his age."
"Who knows what the lines are going to look like next year but whoever plays with whoever it's all about chemistry. I'm just excited to see what's going to happen here.” "We're thankful for Trent's contributions to the Senators and wish him the best going forward," general manager Pierre Dorion said in a news release.
