Rumor: Flyers gearing up to trade Wayne Simmonds

[Tripod]

Rick Nash as a rental fetched a 1st+ Spooner +

There will be teams willing to pay up for a full year of Simmonds I believe.

 

[Kamiccolo]

So I get the love... But don't players like him usually break down in their 30's and are buyout candidates by like 33ish?

 

[DFC]

I think Tampa Bay will be in on this. Would something around Miller (25, RFA) work? You'll probably have to pay him in the neighborhood of 5.5.

Agreed I think 3 pieces are coming back if it’s a futures deal. He shouldn’t fetch a top flight prospect but maybe 1st+3rd+young 3rd/4th line winger.

No one tell Bergevin...

[Brock Radunske]

I'll take him to replace JVR. Easily.

So you'd let JVR walk and then pay huge rental prices to replace him?

 

[The Madrigal]

Coyle, 24, and Ennis (cap dump) for Simmonds

Yes (within reason)

 

[Brock Radunske]

Yes (within reason)

I wouldn't. It's time to give KK and AJ a real look. Besides, the Leafs already have a fantastic PP

That's going to happen anyway.

Not really, since one of them would be going back the other way

Brown or Hyman could easily go.

Yeah, but in the right deal, a lot of teams would get him as a year-long rental. TB sure could use a guy like this. Unfortunately, the one thing we can't deal is a RHD.

If the Flyers can't get the D they want, I think we could offer JT Miller.

 

[Brock Radunske]

Brown or Hyman could easily go.

If you could swing it to be built around one of them and not include our first, by all means

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Coyle, 24, and Ennis (cap dump) for Simmonds

That's a very easy pass.

 

[DJJones]

Coming off an injury and having one year left is going to hurt his value a bit.

But I'd like to see the Flames go for him.

Put Brodie with Provorov and there'd be no complaints.

 

[The Madrigal]

That's a very easy pass.

Yeah you are correct. On second thought that's not a good deal for the Flyers since Coyle is only under contract for one more year than Simmonds is.

Who knows lol

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

You think you're going to get somebody that's signed for 3, 4 or 5+ years for your UFA-in-a-year?

 

[TheNumber4]

Once again, trade talks heat around wingers that could give NSH a boost but we're locked into our core

You guys have a Stanley cup contending core, how much wiggle room do you expect there to be?

 

[The Madrigal]

You think you're going to get somebody that's signed for 3, 4 or 5+ years for your UFA-in-a-year?

There's little point in trading for a lesser player who is only two years away from being a UFA, for Simmonds. If Minnesota is interested it would probably be for 24 and a prospect.

Hopefully we aren't.

Here's my question can the two sides manage an Ellis and Bonino trade for Simmonds +

 

[YP44]

Sam Bennet?
