## Resource

Claude Giroux, the veteran Senators forward who just re-signed for one year and $2M, offers hard-won wisdom on leadership after becoming captain at just 25 with the Flyers. Now that Brady Tkachuk’s trade sent Ottawa into a new era — netting three first-round picks — Giroux admits he didn’t see it coming, but believes the team’s depth and chemistry make the transition possible. He recalls his own captaincy struggles, where overthinking leadership cost him his game — until management reminded him true leadership comes from play, not just presence. With Tkachuk gone, Giroux sees potential in younger stars like Tim Stutzle and Jake Sanderson to step up, emphasizing that Ottawa’s leadership is collective, not individual. He returned to Ottawa after weighing family and passion, convinced the team’s momentum can carry them forward — and that the locker room’s mix of talent and honesty is exactly what’s needed to rise.
