bob_sauve28 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 This is a good safe play. Good player, tough and has scored in the past. I hope we don't give away prospects unless we get a starting goalie (to share time with Leenus) in the deal 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustache of God Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I like this move as long as there's more trades coming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Awesome (if this were 2016). For a 5th next year, am fine with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a rental on a bad cap hit, but it's a vote of confidence from Botterill unless he trades a bunch of good pieces out now and it just turns into a cap dump for no reason. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getpucksdeep Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 So we are buying? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zamboni Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Wayne Simmonds ... for a 5th... ok good deal. But he’s a UFA. So, we’ll see if we threw away a 5th or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrader Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 And you'd have to imagine that a forward will be going out at some point after this trade. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Botterill and picking up washed up vets as depth pieces, name a more iconic duo I would have loved Simmonds in his mid-to-late 20s and prior to the $5M hit. Now... it's a good pickup for a playoff run. And a solid rental for a 5th and retained salary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Just enough to 'buy' to say we took a run at it. I was hoping we'd flip him but after seeing the conditions there's no way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudacek Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Simmonds is pretty much done and makes a huge salary. He is also an expiring contract, fills a need and makes this team better down the stretch. Very odd, but thumbs up. One of our UFA's is moving for sure to make room for his deal 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GASabresIUFAN Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 I thought he wasn’t doing rentals. Oh well. I guess that makes us tougher? So who is gone to open the roster spot? Another deal must be coming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
