can you explain how and why the flyers are adding to the deal? Simmonds has out scored Nino over the past 5 years and brings more to the game
while Simmonds is a year away from UFA--flyers are not adding to move him
and for some perspective on nino's contract
Milan Lucic who some say has the worst contract in the NHL?
Last 3 seasons Lucic got 139 pts vs Nino's 132--Lucic just makes .750k more than Nino
up until this year nino was the kind of player who could chip in offensively and is supposed to be a really good checker and if you look at his stats he has gotten better each year until it looks like he got injured this year and his stats dropped a bit. He looks like he can put up similar numbers to simmonds he's five years younger he is way better defensively than simmonds. doesn't seem that hard to see that nino is coming into his prime and simmonds is at the end. if they were both the same age then straight across would be close but due to the fact that simmonds is leaving his prime ...hence the 2nd or 3rd philly adds. I am a flyers fan and would nothing more than to trade simmonds straight across for mcdavid but i am a realistic hockey fan who can look at my player and someone elses and judge their worth by what they will do not because i am a fan of what they did do for my favourite team.
