$7 per still seems steep for me when thinking about guys needing new deals and van Riemsdyk at his cost.
- J35Bacher


Ohhh I’d still look to trade him even before this season gets under way but I think the Flyers want to keep him.

I’d like to see Simmonds signed to a 4 yr deal.
- Marc D


It would be 4 years starting at age 31, and Max's 4 year deal starts at age 30. So it's a good comparable.

would be great for the Flyers if they could get him on a short term deal for sure...hopefully with a modified no trade clause....

What kind of return could they get for Simmonds?

Is the Max Patch trade comparable?

Suzuki sounds like an A prospect.

I think the only knock on him is his size. I would think the Flyers could get a similar return, though I would suspect they look more for a fit on the roster player than a prospect if they made the deal right now.

I'm all good with the kids. I'm not a big fan of vets on the bottom six who don't bring some measure of defensive presence to the ice. Personal opinion but kids on lower salary bases can bring the same careless play that an over priced vet can, some can bring a hell of a lot more.

I hate the salary cap but if we have to live with it let's not waste money, you never know when you'll need it.

Looking forward to the new season in every way but in goal. I'll watch the Phantoms for that.

Snopes says that taint true:

However, Donovan's late 60's classic mellow yellow was written about a vibrator.
Donovan had a nice fast career.

You've spent nearly every day of the last 11 years arguing with people about inconsequential details on a hockey site. You're truly the most pathetic person I've ever encountered in my entire life. I bet you're too much of a coward to even show your face at a Buzzgate. I'd be too if I were you.

He's kind of an okay skater for his size too. Not a really high motor kid. Can get a little lost in the physical game. He'll be a RW. He's a good prospect, but I've never been as high on him as others back to his draft year. Proudly had Roberto Tomas like 8-9 spots higher when it was the opposite for errebody else. The perceived value of Suzuki is higher than how I value him.

Honestly, seeing that extension tied to the trade makes the trade look better for Vegas too. At first I thought the value was kinda much. A lot of it had to do with what they sunk into Tatar to pawn him off so quickly. That was the #BaD trade. You're right though: they've really been acing their two drafts so far. They do have some capital to play with, provided they don't re-do the Tatar trade or go full Martin Erat. Never go full Erat.

Nothing worse than when I'm Zenyatta-ing it up and a (frank)ing Reaper comes behind to kill me. Reaper and Tracer can eat poop.

Patches at 4 x 7 mil? Pretty good for Vegas

Simmonds 4 yrs x 6.25 and call it a day

No idea. I dont know how other clubs view Simmonds after last season, and the fact that he is kind of reliant on the creativity of others to get points. Not really a guy thats going to drive a line or play.

Still a valuable piece of say a team looking to take that next step. The arms race in the West is real and a club like Winnipeg/Nashville/San Jose might want to explore a deal.

Just throwing names out there but Tolvanen, Vesalainen, Appleton.

Great news for the Flyers. I'd say no more than 6.25 x 3-4 years and if traded then a prospect and pick.
