Simmons was useless. Move on.

Edit: Simmonds too.

 

[vanarchy]

So basically the same team is coming back? With Jumbo being replaced with some other vet.

Definition of insanity

Lol. He was supposed to be the guy that played hard and helped them get over the playoff hump and I maybe noticed him one shift in the 7 game series.

 

[Primary Assist]

Sure, extend the powerplay coach too while they're at it

 

[TootooTrain]

1 year, league min. After this next upcoming year he could very well get a job in the organization in some way since it's close to home. That's my thought process anyway. Nothing crazy, an advisor of sorts.

He's a 4th-liner that'll be paid almost nothing, it's not exactly a major move

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Dude is cooked, but that’s what you get when you have no capspace.

 

[themelkman]

Hope Jumbo finds elsewhere to play. I’d rather he actually have some chance of winning a cup

 

[koyvoo]

Good news for division opponents

 

[Magic Man]

If it is for 750K I think it's fine. He shouldn't make over a 1M with that performance.

 

[HogtownSabresfan]

Shows me Dubas has no cards to play. Only guy who could turn a full house into a pair of aces. Guy was handed a golden team.

Bringing back the same players should really help them moving forward.

 

[BowieSabresFan]

If he could catch anyone on the other team he could even maybe hit them.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

For the front office?

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

For league minimum 4th line duties, sure. More than that? *barf*. Guy was effective in like 6 games, with maybe one being in the playoffs.

 

[I am Canadian]

800K

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Jesus.

 

[Bruce Granville]

Simmons was useless. Move on.

That‘s why they are talking with Simmonds.

 

[The don godfather]

Good waste more cap space on non performing assets. Love it as a bruins fan. Dufas is a gift.

 

[Joel Ward]

Will be happy to have him back for league minimum, didn't do much to justify anything more after breaking his wrist. He was apparently a very big part of team morale and can still throw the body so this is a solid move as long as it stays under a million.

 

[Unspecified]

This is why Toronto won't win. Wasting any sorts of money on this guy is money that could be spent elsewhere.

You heard it here folks.

Toronto lost not because Tavares got knocked out after 10 minutes, but because Simmonds was on the roster burning so much valuable cap space.
