Barring getting him cheap, hoping the Jets pass on that. No real interest in him at this point of his career.

I'd love to see him on the Jets. Just what they need - a guy to score ugly-ass goals in front of the net.
The Jets have no real need for Simmonds at all, unless he comes to us embarrassingly cheap.

No real need long term no, but short term? Perreault is one hit to being out long term considering his history, Appleton, Lemiuex, Roslovic, Copp, Lowry, Tanev are not going to put up even close to 25 (acknowledging Tanev's current 20g pace). He's a Big body with playoff expeirence. We could absolutely use him.
However, please don't sell the farm for him Chevy
Yes, he would be nice, but a luxury. Not worth actually pursuing, unless super cheap.

Rumor is "lots of teams calling" , "lots of interest" but HF main boards only wants Simmonds on the cheap, laughable proposals, as I said yesterday Simmonds will return a first plus------EASILY!
Hes still on pace for 25 goals and is an annual 25-30 goal scorer that gives max effort every game it's not like hes completely useless even if hes havjng a bad year

Hense us intrested in him as a rental? I agree though, not interested if the price is high

Hopefully Chevy was bored and figured at best he would throw out a dirt cheap offer if all other leads don’t pan out.

Hopefully they aren't watching him too closely or there won't be a deal made.

What? Why? Even if you put him on your 4th line that would be worth it for a 2nd easily. It would be better if he played on the other side, but that's a championship style move if you're going after Simmonds and plug him in next to Copp or Roslovic when they move him back down the lineup once Ehlers comes back. Then all they'd need is a D and a 2/3 C.

You won't get him for a second.
You also wouldn't get any meaningful contributions out of him. He fits precisely zero of our needs, whether that is in the short term or in the long term. A rental RW is about the last thing we need.
The effect of basically any rental is minimal enough to confidently steer away from paying any good assets for them at all times.
Luckily for us, teams overpay a premium for this type of player. Great leader, grit, experience, and a “give it all” attitude that stands up for any and everyone.
HF notoriously underrated the rental market because they don’t want to give up their precious young players/picks for someone who may not resign. Fans, generally, look at next year. That’s the exact reason why we’d never be in a management spot. They all look at the now and the playoffs. This is the asset you’d acquire to fulfill the now. Everyone on here acts like it’s at the expense of the future... which it isn’t by any stretch.
I don’t know what the flyers want. Personally, a Forward or Defender prospect.
Most likely a defender. We’re locked at C prospects, W prospects, and NHL wingers.
Defense is a big need so I’d like to see a young prospect.
From NSH:
I don’t see any situation that Fabbro is in play for someone like Simmonds.
I’d be interested in Frédéric Allard +. + could be a higher pick or another decent prospect.
From WPG:
No real interesting D prospects besides Stanley and Samberg. I don’t think they do anything that we don’t already have in D prospects.
I don’t know what to make of WPG. Don’t think we’re good trading partners.

This Flyers team stinks and Simmonds needs a change of scenery..
Even in a down year where our team sucks.. I'd expect Simmonds to be a great addition wherever he goes. He's playing for a new contract and on a team going to the playoffs he's a player that can flip the switch on

DudeWhereIsMakar
Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
Would be nice to have him on the Jets, but the big problem is our roster is full. It'd mean Appleton/Lemieux would be sent down to the Moose. I don't know where he'd slide into, no need for him really.
He'd look good on the preds
Not sure about the jets think they have right wing depth that will suffice
Nashville on the other hand, they should be adding talent up front for sure.

Simmonds is such a Jets type of player. Would fit that team well.
Nashville on the other hand...Poile will probably trade a bag of pucks for him then get him to agree to an extension for a couple mil per...like the rest of that team...

I hate this team
Why do you say Defense is a big need for the Flyers....if it's a young guy you are adding?
Provy Ghost
Sanheim Gudas
Morin Myers
Hagg Friedman
Hogberg Bernhardt
Zamula Ginning
Kalynuk
They don't need any young D. They could use a vet guy to play with Provy to go against top lines and slot others into easier matchups....like a Pesce.
Anyways, back to Simmonds. With multiple teams likely bidding on him, he likely gets a 1st +. It's just a matter of what that + is that teams add. Or does a team go for a bigger deal with Philly.
Keep bidding!!!
I don't see the point in the Jets going after him. Ehlers/Wheeler/Connor/Laine are our top six wingers. Then we have Perreault/Tanev/Roslovic/Appleton/Lemieux/Petan for depth. A luxury at best, and probably doesn't come cheap.
