He's a better player than Bunnaman. An upgrade at a small price. Nothing to complain about here. Like I said a pretty solid faceoff guy. I think he gets pk time as well.

Another guy who can do that reliably is never a bad thing

This is an upgrade over Bunnaman. 14 goals in 49 games. Not too shabby. Big guy too 6'3" 215. Nice move.

6’5 And he could be the bouncer on the flyers nightclub

I just dont understand what a certain segment of the fanbase expected to happen today.

Think of this forum like a 24/7 news channel. When there is no material there is an endless parade of useless programming just to fill a void.

Same story here during days like today when nothing major happens.

Sounds like Wayne Simmonds is heading to BUF. Details to follow.

5th for Wayne Simmonds can turn into a 4th for #njdevils if #sabres make the playoffs and Simmonds plays 10 games.

Someone has to explain this to me from a Sabres perspective.

- PLindbergh31


That's gotta be a flip, right? He can't want to be there. Maybe Buffalo has the ability to absorb some cash that the Devils can't, something like that

This makes zero sense for the Sabres. Just glad Simmonds isn't going to the Pens.

With the Marleau trade, Pittsburgh now has just nine draft picks combined in the next two drafts #whydotheyhatetheirscouts

Flip makes no sense. Only one piece in the deal which is a 5th. Dont see why Buffalo would take a guy and expect to get more for him when NJ could have just gotten more.

But what could they possibly want with him? He's on an expiring contract. You are not making the playoffs. Why would you give any kind of asset for this player? That makes no sense, right?

They can't have acquired him to keep him, right? I mean, why?

What does that have to do with anything given the fact that version of Simmonds seems to be long gone.

I’m a fan of this move...first Simmonds not with say Pens. For Sabres, he is a good fit there, and they can negotiate to re-sign.

Rangers goalie and forward got into a car accident. Thankfully they're both okay!
