Value of: Wayne Simmonds UFA contract

[justafan22]

Benning is desperate to save his job so welcome to Vancouver on a 5x5 deal
I guess

Dude, he got 30 points last year

 

[Menzinger]

Any team that gives him more than a 2x2 contract will regret it sooner rather than later

 

[McSuper]

Oh boy, that you Chia?

2 years at 3-4

You are too kind . Chia would have traded Edmonton's first + RNH + Bear and signed him to 8X8 with the cap savings

Rightly or wrongly, Staal signing for 2 x 3.25M has lowered the bar for a lot of aging vets. Simmonds might have to sign a one year prove it contract. Kind of sucks for him, but he picked a bad time to for his play to decline.

He's only 30. It would be nice to think he could have a rebound somewhere in the next few years still. But I'm not sure teams are going to be willing to gamble money on that until he does.

Age by ittself isn't the determining factor but wear and tear and Simmonds has through alot of wear and tear with how he plays. Teams should be weary of that.

 

[Mickey Marner]

I imagine Edmonton will pay him a silly amount of money to continue to be not very good.

 

[Junohockeyfan]

I can see the Leafs overpaying him 5M over 5 years after getting abused by the Bruins.

 

[1865]

I really wish we’d traded him last year. He shouldn’t get more than 2 years and 4th line money.

Welcome to Edmonton Wayne!

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

3 million/3 years

 

[RebuildinVan]

Honestly Benning persuing him July 1 terrifies me

 

[Man Bear Pig]

Leafs have to sign a bunch of players. Simmonds wont even be on their radar unless he wants to come here on a 1 year deal with a discount. 5x5 is laughable.

 

[Telos]

Regardless of what he is worth, he'll likely get overpaid to go somewhere this offseason. $4.5-5 million/year would be my guess.

 

[TML1967]

1 year 2.5m from the Leafs would be my offer.
I'm assuming we are moving Marleau July 2nd to go retire for a team with crap ton of cap space.
Give him a 'show us' deal. Give him some net front time on PP2, and put him in Marleaus spot as the 3LW behind AJ and Hyman.

Wouldn't want to go over a year because he has not had a strong season, and a kind of abysmal last 25ish games.

 

[geisterpanthers]

He will be in the KHL next year at best. He isn't an NHL level player anymore, he could be solid in a lesser European League, DEL anyone?

 

[go4hockey]

3 year 6-7 million is my guess
If he has a big playoffs could go higher

This would be a bad deal for the team signing it as soon as the ink hits the paper.

 

[Torontoborn]

Simmonds has been having a really bad year, how much has it affected his ufa value?

It’s almost certain some old school GM will give him a contract they’ll instantly regret, but what would you pay him?

I totally forgot he is playing in Nashville, completely invisible.

 

[cwede]

Some GM will probably give him stupid money but he’ll end up being pretty comparable to Ladd, Lucic and Backes. He should be about $3 million for 3/4 years

Ladd was who came to mind reading this thread.
Entering the season he would finish at age 31 (same as Simmonds) NYI gave Ladd 7x$5.5M
Andrew Ladd - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

That seems too much to me,
but it only takes one offer like that for it happen

 

[Bond]

Does Simmonds still have the tough guy and hard to play against trope working for him? If so, he is going to be this year's Jame Neal.

I think really everybody has realized he doesn't cut it at NHL level anymore.

 

[Hockeypete49]

He’ll get over $5m a season easily based on reputation and past success.

Someone will regret it, but he’ll absolutely get offers in the $5.5-6.5 range from someone.

I am a huge Simmer fan. But there is no way he gets that.
PS if he does his agent should get some sort of medal.

so you don't think Simmonds is even an NHL caliber player anymore?

Recent performance is the best indicator for what a player may do going forward especially when they hit 30.

Simmonds I would doubt ever hits 50 points again. Maybe a shot at 40 in the right situation but to me he’s a 30 point guy. Short term at maybe $3 million per year.

His max for me is 3 x 3.

He didn't look like one with the Preds.
