I hate this team
Boyle: a 2nd
Simmonds and other middle line rentals: 1st with maybe a small add depending who it is or a prospect the acquiring team really wants
top 3 rentals: 1st+top prospect+possibly more
That's how I see it. And yes, there is a supply/demand issue that can change things. Maybe someone waits too long and sees their assets value crash...like Vanek with NYI. That could be Simmonds...or someone else. I said about a month ago on the Flyers board that I would trade Simmonds early rather than later for that reason.
Personally, I see Boston and other teams waiting on the top 3 guys 1st to see their landing spot first before going down to that next tier. Coyle was a good add because he is what Donato likely is in a few years. Traded the future "what if" for the now guaranteed.
