I love Simmonds, but I'm scared of the contract he'll want this summer.
turns 31 this summer. He might not get as much as you think, but I agree, that is probably one we'd want to avoid.I love Simmonds, but I'm scared of the contract he'll want this summer.
Nope! Still close!My guess is Jeremy Roenick and I’d put money on that
We might retain salary. 50% being the maximum allowed, it's anyone's guess as to how much Rejean would offer.turns 31 this summer. He might not get as much as you think, but I agree, that is probably one we'd want to avoid.
It would only benefit us if we think Schneids is shot, and thus we get rid of his contract.
Jonesy...
Nope! It's also not Liam aka Agent Ressler from the Blacklist.That’s a good guess. He would definitely have insider Flyers knowledge.

EJ Hradek
Okay this is wacky. I had a chat recently with someone in the hockey media. Everyone here knows him. I can't say who it is but lets say everyone finds him annoying.
I joked saying "anything happening with the Devils you can tell me about?" He says a few times he shouldn't say anything. Finally I pry it out and he tells me that the Flyers and Devils are discussing Schneider for Simmonds.
Probably not one for one... but that is crazy.

First, I think whoever started this rumor did it as a joke.
Simmonds would be a nice get and could provide exactly what this team is missing. I don't believe for a second that the Flyers would consider this.
The clue was “people find him annoying”. Is that true for EJ? He seems like such a friendly guy.
From Masisak’s article. Interesting.
”Despite being below-average in most puck possession categories last season, the Devils were sixth in the league in high-danger chance percentage. They were in the middle of the pack in creating them, but seventh in the NHL at preventing them.
This season, they’re dominating the high-danger area even more. New Jersey is fourth in the league in high-danger chances per 60 minutes at even strength and against.
That’s where the conversion rate comes in. Nico Hischier is fifth in the NHL in individual high-danger chances per 60 minutes played. Miles Wood is in the top 50. The two of them have combined for 40 high-danger chances, but also only two even-strength goals. The Devils have six players in the top 100 of that list, including Stefan Noesen at No. 99. He doesn’t have a goal this season, despite 11 high-danger chances and 20 shots on goal.”
'We don't feel like a team under .500': Why the Devils believe the results will come if they keep playing their way
My first thought: I love how Nico plays but he needs to practise his shot.
Go check the standings
It validates the eye test
