Overview

• Giroux signed a one-year extension with Ottawa that carries a $2 million base salary and incentives that could boost his earnings to $2.75 million.
• He will earn up to $750,000 based on games played, $250,000 for qualifying for the playoffs and up to $1.75 million depending on how far the Senators progress in the postseason.
• Last season he recorded 15 goals and 50 points across 81 regular-season games and added one goal and five points in six playoff outings.
• The deal represents a significant pay cut from his previous three-year, $19.5 million agreement that carried a $6.5 million annual cap hit.
• As Ottawa’s alternate captain, Giroux’s veteran presence will support the team’s effort to blend experienced leaders with emerging talent under tight cap constraints.
