Sure Give Schaller away if possible but
Simmonds sucks don’t waste a pick on him
Bailey or ZacMac can accomplish the same thing except are better, cheaper, faster

- Brooks_Light

Hope they get the next couple of weeks time to prove this.

Yeah hopefully

Leivo Motte and Graovac should all be back sometime in March as well - so there’s internal
Options as well
Although I couldn’t care less if we ever see Sven, Boucher or Goldy ever again - they’re not the worst options if needed

With Motte, Graovac, MacQ, and Bailey, I dont see a need for Simmonds regardless of cost.

Just not Simmonds. It's not this team. They need toughness that can skate.

I am going to give an unpopular response. I am going to put my trust in the people that know more than we do.

Every step of the way Benning has had blockades and criticism and he has taken a sh1t AHL team and a laughable NHL team to the the upper standings.

If he thinks a four month rental of a player will help then it is such a minimal risk and not worth worrying about.

Canucks have been in 7 scraps since the Boston game and did well in every fight.

I agree they are stepping up lately .

Part of the process and a guy like Simmonds could show them how it is done . Make them tougher . Grind hard in front of the net. Wouldn't it be nice if young Zaxk MacEwen didn't have to be the team tough guy.

It is a 4 month signing and he will definitely be better than Schaller

We don't need either one of them really, d needs to step up imo, we are fine at forward.

You don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

MacEwen is a first year player . He can fight but he is not the main fighter on the Comets. He is secondary help when it comes to toughness. Bailey hasn't fought all year. Motte is laughable if you think he is going to be a tough guy. Leivo is not noted for being a tough guy.

Most teams have about 3 or four tough guys. Putting the title on Zack is early and leaving him undermanned .Simmonds has been there and won't be intimidated. Bring in some back up for this young group.

Being pinned in your own end to much lately, need to think and move the puck quicker.

You think one player who plays 10 minutes a game is going to make the whole team change its style and cause all kinds of problems and be the downfall .

I am sure the two games I seen NJ play this year I seen Simmonds in front of our net battling more than once.

Never paid attention to Simmons really so I can't really comment on him.

They are a better team when they are standing up at the blueline and breaking up plays in the neutral zone.

Not a rental, i believe it would be control for one more year. If they can get NJ to eat some of next years salary i might be down even if he’s slowed down

Simmonds is a UFA. So yes, he is a rental.

Do you think one player who plays 10 minutes a game, is going to make the whole team change its style and cause all kinds of havoc to the opposition and be an upgrade?

No to Simmonds. Let the young players learn the role, with the current veterans on this team.

I think it will be somewhat of an upgrade . More importantly so does Benning otherwise there would be no interest .

Give me Simmonds over Schaller, sorry.
