Signing Simmonds would be a questionable decision for a team that has already replaced him at the one thing he is good at: PP1. Patrick is here, and he is glorious. Wayne’s ES ability is entirely replaceable and then some short/long term.

I love the guy too and he’s a warrior, but if arguments 1, 2, 3 are all intangibles related, just say no to a long term contract for a bottom 6/PP2 RW in his 30s. It’s business. And you can get a great asset back to for a replaceable on-ice player. It makes too much sense, sorry.

Now back to the coffin. Deep breath.

Most players are eventually replaceable. This idea that Simmonds is not a good player at ES is a myth. They also haven't replaced him at PP1. Simmonds has been one of the top PP goal scorers in the league for a number of seasons. Patrick has made some plays but he has not come even close to proving he is better at that spot. If you want to be a good team it helps to have two good PP units and I see Patrick eventually being a half wall puck distributor that can help build a quality 2nd unit or move up in case of injury. There is far more to Simmonds game than intangibles. I find your argument nonsensical.

You make your own climate in the coffin

EDIT: Though yes, I am both surprised and thrilled by the sudden heat. We earned this.

For how nice it looks, the story would smash the box office if it was a movie.

But I mean it basically is. The cut scenes are hardly cut scenes. Everything flows so smoothly. Good lord it's just...honestly leaves me speechless. It's a (frank)ing video game man.

Combat is amazingly fulfilling too. So (frank)ing good

I don't play Destiny, ya muppet. We can suck in Fortnite duos though. Or Overwatch. Or Naynaychel A-Team.

Lotta games would make amazing films. It's bizarre they keep making them based off the poopty ones.

Give me a MGS or Red Dead movie. 😍
