For Claude Giroux, the comparisons have been flattering but nearly impossible to live up to.

Teammate Simon Gagne said Giroux reminded him of Peter Forsberg, a certain Hall of Famer and one of the NHL's all-time great playoff performers.

Team chairman Ed Snider likened him to Bobby Clarke, another Hall of Famer and the greatest Flyer who ever lived.

Television analyst Chris Therien predicted Giroux would average 40 goals and 60 assists a season, becoming the Flyers' first 100-point producer since Eric Lindros in 1996.

All along, Giroux has smiled and shrugged, saying he hoped to someday be included with those illustrious names.

"G is one talented player," Flyers veteran right wing Ian Laperriere said. "I keep telling him every day how special he is. He's got to realize how great he is, and if he does, he will be an unbelievable player for many years."
