Feels even worse cuz he's an older "rookie" and it took a lotta work for him to get here.
I wonder if pivoting from skating forward to back is gonna suck for him when he gets back.
He has one more year on his deal already. Or did you mean an extension beyond that?Well, now that he's done for the season, he and his agent can focus on getting a new contract signed once July 1st hits. lol
But seriously, I just hope he's ready for the start of next season because he did an admirable job all year.

Indeed.An extension beyond that. He can sign one on July 1. I think he's earned it.
Any teams potentially waiving a defenseman in the coming weeks? Can't imagine we want to go into playoffs with Jake Middleton as D8 or even D7 depending on Karlsson's health.
Oh my god. I love Tomas Hertl. His bromance with Simek just melts my otherwise cold, calloused heart.
Couldn't play them in the playoffs even if they did. The Sharks could even still trade for a dman but that traded player couldn't play in the playoffs. This hole Simek created really hurts because I think as good as this organization has been with plugging in these bottom pairing guys, they're almost at the end of the rope-- at least for right now.
I know he wasn't waived but does that mean that Lee Stempniak can't play for the Bruins in the playoffs?
I don't dislike Ryan, but am I wrong in thinking Simek is miles ahead of Ryan at the left point? Not only is his shot way better but his sense of when to jump in and when to stay back seems much more apparent. Maybe I just am being subjective.I believe in Joaky too but I don’t believe Pete believes in Joaky and unfortunately his opinion has just slightly more bearing on Ryan’s ice time than mine does.

I can live with thatYou’re absolutely wrong if you think Simek is “miles” better.
I can live with that
I think when both are playing their game I'd rather have simek because of the makeup of the blueline . That doesn't mean simek is better at dI do think “Simek > Ryan” is a fair opinion though.
