So you want him for the 3rd line role? That is kind of expensive for 3rd line duty. Stop thinking in terms of 1C/2C/3C and you'll be better. Either top 3/middle 6/bottom 3 or top 9. and things will fit together better for you. Of course, the coach ALSO needs to think this way... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a year from free agency and coming off a 24-goal, injury-hindered season. He scored 120 goals the four seasons before that, is big, is tough (The guy caved in Wild winger Eric Nystrom's face once during a fight as a King), is a leader. He's a right-shot wing and makes a reasonable $5 million with an even more reasonable $3.975 million cap hit. He has a 12-team no-trade clause, per capfriendly.com" So the Flyers are at least shopping Simmonds, it seems. But June 23 is after the first round, so...

So, it's not necessarily the date as the draft day. I think if it happens, it happens Friday night. You know, we've talked about this all year long and often clinically and "it's business," but now that it's approaching the possibility saddens me some.

The thing is, his schtick never changed over the years. Sometimes the humor coming from a young 30 something doesn't quite work coming from someone in their sixties. Especially when its oddball immaturish humor to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what I can't find is the date he actually agreed to return (his rights were traded back to Philly while he with the Blades in the WHL).

With the overall talent this team has, there is NO reason to think of things in any hierarchical terms like 1C and 2C and 3C... IF they can bring in an additional talented Center like Tavares (but I think Stastny could fit this bill as well... maybe even Nash-though he is more of a traditional 3C). I really don't think that Tavares will sign in Philly because I expect he's too much of a standup guy to stay in the division... but I think they SHOULD try. I think they should give offers to all three and see who bites first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howie58 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 It seems strange to me they haven't resigned him. Hextall was chirping about how tough he is...and busy the GM and others have been getting ready for the draft...blah, blah. It sound like a deal is in the offing.

Greetings: Thanks for the clarification. So it's basically trade or wait. Interesting. If I believe the press, Hextall hasn't even talked with the agent.

Ivan/Ellis Ghost/Mcdud Sanheim/Hagg Gudas LOL You're really not getting any airplay on this one, are you? We had an exchange about this on another thread. But just some added questions/thoughts. Is Nashville actively shopping Ellis? I'm a little concerned because we're trading one guy whose contract expires next year but might cut a deal to stay for another whose contract expires next season who has no particular reason to not test the market (if traded). Just a concern at this point. I said this jokingly on the other thread, but with at least partial seriousness. Can we expand it? Nashville is shallow on right wing, so Simmonds would certainly fill a need. Lavy would also know exactly what he's getting. I don't know enough about Nashville's prospects. Do they have a defenseman (or defensemEn) pushing the lineup or would this deal create a hole on defense? If it's the latter, would this work: Simmonds + Gudas (+ probably a pick or prospect) Ellis + Bonino I'm not actually sure I trade Simmonds for Ellis straight up. Ellis is going to want pay and term. Plus, we do have people coming in Myers and Morin. i dont know. I'd kick the tires, but ... concerns, anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
