NHL Insider views Western Conference Finalist as a possibility for significant UFA forward

Claude Giroux will undoubtedly be a free agent that teams will be calling about to help out their offence. The Athletic's Pierre LeBrun reports that Edmonton Oilers will be in the mix.

The Oilers are checking on Giroux just in case they can't strike a deal with another pending UFA, Evander Kane LeBrun mentioned in the article.

Giroux spent 15 years with the Philadelphia Flyers before being traded to the President Trophy winners, the Florida Panthers. During the season, they were knocked out in the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Tampa Bay Lightning.

The Panthers and Giroux still have interest in each other, but Florida only has $3 million in cap space. But the Oilers will have the upper hand as they have $7.1 million in cap space as claimed by Cap Friendly.

Giroux is 34-year. But he is still an effective player putting up 65 points in 75 games.
