Change of scenery for both players

Wayne doesn't need a scenery change. He needs to get healthy. If we sell him, he's going for futures only, not another contract we won't be able to afford in 18 months.

...No....

 

[ole ole]

NO!

This.

 

[Philadelphia Ducks]

Sounds absolutely terrible for us.

You should not spit on that trade. Pacioretty could easily become your next John LeClair.

We could afford John LeClair.

cheers! we both agree!

but from a different team perspective!

You realize John LeClair hadn't yet broken out right. Not comparable at all. LeClair was a buy low. 2 for 1 trade.

Simmonds is a rare breed who is the heart and soul of his team AND does something only he and Hornqvist do at an elite level. So hell no from a Philly perspective.

Stand in front of the net on the power play?

Pacioretty is better than Simmonds. "Heart and soul" player my ass.

Yes, all Wayne does is stand in front of the net. He sucks at everything else and Philly has to move him now.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Ignoraaaaance

Pacioretty's 5 on 5 numbers blow Simmonds' out of the water.

He's a better player. Wish Montreal fans were as good at appreciating their good players and calling them "heart and soul" guys as Flyers fans are.

 

[Curufinwe]

I think the value is close, but we need Simmonds for PP1 right now. Eventually Patrick may take his spot in front of the net, which has to be a right hander with Giroux on the left wall, Voracek on the right wall and Ghost at the point.

Your ass is the correct reply

 

[Habs Halifax]

I don't think it works for either team. If I'm trading Patch, I'm looking for the Duchene type return. Not another guy who is UFA in 2 seasons. Flyers keep Simmonds and they might re-sign him IMO.

Trading Pacioretty for Simmonds would be terrible for the Habs.

Dont get me wrong. Im a Simmonds fan-but...

Pacioretty could fetch more than Simmonds.

I couldn't care less if Simmonds can hit and fight. Need skilled, speedy forwards now. We have "heart and soul" players.

Also, just based on team needs alone...

Trading Patches for an inferior, less productive winger doesnt help us. We would target a younger center or left handed D before another winger.

Pass from Habs.
