I think Simmonds sign a low term low salary with us today. Just a feeling. Knowing Fletcher is not against playing young prospect but like depth, I would not mind a 1 year 3 mil.

Personally I would prefer Ferland, Connolly or even a trade for Kadri with a low return (Hagg + C prospect + pick).

Imagine if Hextall fired Hak long ago and made some moves such that a player like Duchene would want to take a discount to join this team? Sigh

Dont count on it. Simmonds is getting multiple long-term offers.

Kadri would cost more in a trade, plays Center, and is too expensive at this point.

I have read a few things by people i trust on other message boards that seem to think he really is a going to get a 4-5 year deal from Pittsburgh.

Suck to see him in a Pens jersey, but 4 yrs there would be wicked , my god he’s horrible now, can’t imagine in 2-3 years.

IF he really did have the same groin abdominal issues that ghost and G struggled with I imagine a different player when healthy. If he had success on the pens, many of the die hards who attend the games will have an identity crisis.

I doubt Simmonds will stay healthy through a 4 year deal, and his 5x5 skills were limited at his peak.
As a 4th liner who can PK and PP, he has value, but not a huge amount, maybe 4x2?

Can't say I'd hate it.
I am bit puzzled about it. Part of me definitely want Justin with us for his leadership and experience, yet I believe that 3rd line spot is the only one open and I would like to show realistic chance to young guns to earn it in Sept. If they fill that spot today, it might be blow to Farabee, Frost and Rubtsov alike.
