Top 25 Not Under 25: #20 Claude Giroux


Born: January 12, 1988 (age 24)
Team: Philadelphia Flyers
Position: Center

You know you're career is going the right way when your just 24 years old and you are already an assistant captain. In each of the last two years Giroux has had over 25 goals and over 50 assists. Just looking at his stats you can tell his stock is going to continue to rise. This year was his best season, he had 28 goals, 65 assists, which works out to be 93 points in just 77 games.

He isn't just a great regular season player either, as we just saw him knockout what many people thought was the best team in the playoffs (Penguins). During that series
Giroux had 6 goals and 8 assists in 6 games, which is just silly.

Outside NHL fans might not know this kid yet, but I do think he could be a future MVP with the way his career is heading.
