Not much.......is a resurgence season possible, ya but very unlikely

Hes real bad nowadays.

Lets just say the amount of times Wayne has missed a tap-in or easy goal this year is astronomical. And thats saying a lot for a guy who just 3-4 years ago was the games best net front presence

Honestly, Simmonds is single-handidly responsible for a solid 12-15 missed goals - most being passes from rookie Jack Hughes or missed rebounds on the PP

Yeah, he's not any good. I thought so before NJ signed him.


To be honest, I found him overrated even when he was good. He was scrappy and a great net front presence who could pot a bunch of greasy goals, but some acted like he was a modern Cam Neely.
