M'eh!

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Would've rather have done 1 year at 1M but this contract shouldn't hurt us

 

[Marshy]

900K AAV. That's ok.

 

[egd27]

2 years? another masterful negotiation by Kid Kyle.

 

[Morgs]

*puke*

 

[stickty111]

Fine with 900K. Would not be happy with anything over 1 million. 2 years is wierd though

 

[WTFMAN99]

The only plus side is you can bury it.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

It's fine, I just don't get it.

 

[Leafs87]

This is great. He was injured and it showed in the back half. Before his injury he was a dream

 

[Trapper]

700 for Spezza and 900 for Simmonds.
Holds to the theory that the bottom 6 will be lego pieces so he can afford a more expensive forward to help out the 40 million come playoff time.
He needs someone to take the heat off the top.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Meh
Is Joe next?

 

[Burnie97]

It's alright. 750k would be better but if he can play like pre injury Simmonds it'll work out.

 

[selltrade]

How can u not like this. 4th line in and out. Depth

 

[ER89]

lets not change the top 4 - lets not change the supporting cast. Then what the f*** are you going to do? Run it back with these heartless f***s?

 

[TheShape]

He looked great pre injury and after he looked almost finished at times. I always knew he was coming back but 2 years is kind of strange. I assume it'll be buried if his game drops off.

Simmonds as 12th-13th forward is fine, if Keefe plays him any higher in the lineup again then he's lost it.

 

[Mickey Marner]

Too much for too long. Will probably get too many minutes as well to complete the trifecta.

Watch, we'll re-sign Thornton next.

 

[Anthrax442]

I guess 1 year play+ 1 year Robidas island

 

[Guided by Veseys]

He’s definitely worth more than 900k when he is healthy. I like it. He goes to the net and doesn’t take any shit, what more can you ask for at that price?

I never thought he looked good PRE or POST injury.

 

[Puckstuff]

2 years. Got the Dubas special

 

[ACC1224]

Full NMC?

 

[Cor]

2 years is weird. 900K is fine, I suppose.

 

[Hclass47]

Brings energy, veteran presence, some protection, wants to be here and knows his roll.

Hopefully he’s the last vet they sign and bring in some young guys that play with an edge

 

[ShaneFalco]

I like the player but he looked done to me
I don't remember him doing a thing in the playoffs either
