Thoughts on Simmonds:

-Trade him for others.

Some of the other them, or all of the them?

A little bit of some, and a little bit of all.

Hard to see Hextall paying above whatever the market value to keep Wayne. If he really wants to stay, he may have to take something close to his last deal around 4 per year. Any numbers being thrown out North of 5 seem unreasonable given his age , the prospects coming up to take future roster spots and salary cap considerations.

My preference is for Simmonds to remain a Flyer in a fair deal for both sides.

yup

Big props to him for playing through all he was going through.

I think 6+ months trumps 3 days.

But honestly, if you really haven't seen it, it's completely trivial and irrelevant to the plot.

Hextall knows he'll have to offer a better deal than 4M a year to retain him. As long as Simmonds rebounds and plays like the player he has been, a number north of 5M is not unreasonable.

In all honesty, I prefer to bring him back. Last offseason was the year to trade him if he was going to be dealt. Simmonds is certainly one of my favorite Flyers of the last 10 years or so.

It took me 29 years to watch the originals, so really I am well ahead of schedule

Then you really missed out. Watching Leia in the slave outfit in Return of the Jedi when I was 14 years old was wicked awesome.

As I have stated before I don't think it would be smart to re-sign Simmonds. North of 30, major miles on his body due to the way he plays. That being said I love me some Wayne Train and will always have the memories.....

IMO I think Simmonds would sign for that. Simmonds has generally been a better scorer though

i agree but the other guy has some cups, with big playoff goals

Simmonds should absolutely stay but if you move him, you better get a hell of a haul in return.

For me i think your going to see something close to what Backes got. Just my thoughts. I mean his agent is probably going to argue he was a steal at the price he was at compared to his production and try to get the most he can knowing it might be the last big time deal.

Fine.

The Wizard of Oz is a movie where a person or peoples do things and have stuff happen.

Wouldn't want to give away any spoilers.
