I can already see him on a Rags jersey next year.

You know they're either backing up the truck to him or Tavares this summer.

What realistic add can Hexy do by tomorrow?

I would like to see a bottom 6 winger to help PK and cheap D depth -

Blake Comeau would be a decent pickup for a late pick and someone like Postma off of waivers if he makes it that far

I've been a consistent critic of Hakstol's personnel choices but he nailed it with this current lineup. I'm realistically hoping for these top 2 lines to stay intact for the next few years.

When Simmonds comes back we'll have Simmonds-Laughton-Raffl
Next year we'll have Simmonds-Frost-Raffl
2019 we could have Simmonds-Rubstov-Frost for a THIRD line

Add in Morin, Sanheim, and Hart......That's a Cup contender

Don't get ahead of yourself with Simmonds. With Patrick able to play his spot on the PPM and the emergence of Lindblom, I could see Hextall taking calls on him.

I agree with the thought that his defensive game has improved by leaps and bounds this season. I disagree with Norris consideration, though.

I agree here.

I’d be happy with an upgrade for Manning

Patrick has a long way to go to show that he is as good as Simmonds is at that PP spot. Plus I eventually see Patrick as the QB for the second unit at some point. Same for Lindblom in showing that he can produce as well as Simmonds has as a Flyer. That's getting ahead of yourself.

God I am praying they blow all their acquired draft picks on him

Wouldn't shock me if they did. This is the Rags after all.

I think he is talking about in terms of resigning him. Which with the amount of young big forwards that are pushing this lineup, resigning Simmonds is a major question mark

Wouldn't you rather do this deal for the 1st overall and not immediately put us in cap hell with Karlsson?

I'd do that deal in a heartbeat if it was for OEL

Kovalchuk coming back to NA is interesting, because I think he'd be a nice player to have around, riding shotgun to an already established offensive core of players:

Well, yeah. One hasn't even played in the NHL yet.

I have very little interest in Karlsson given what his next contract is going to look like. It just going to make it hell to resign guys in a few years.
