BFD if they sign him

Yup won't cry either way.

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.
- VANTEL

I agree with you. Even if Simmonds is acquired it’s short term for the playoff push. I’m ok with it as long as the cost is negligible.

He get 5 mil . Ferlands 3.5 would leave it at 1.5 per year pro rated for 6 weeks of regular salary would be 300 k of actual cost to Aquilini (Who cares) .They send back a contract to fit the cap and a low end pick maybe a fourth.

It really is no big deal.

Is it worse than Schaller?

No I'm just saying posters around here will make acquiring Simmonds a big deal.

I'm all for it if the cost is low.

With Ferland out and a few other injuries some forward depth with toughness would be nice IMO.

Today is the magical day we finally get an end to Boeser for Dumba as brock will be traded by noon for the chosen one....

Why spend assets when the team isn't going to win the cup?

Quit telling people how to be a fan. There is no exact roadmap that needs to be followed.

Kick back and enjoy the distraction of sport anyway you please and let others do the same.

Also, drink more water and wash your hands regularly.

Josh Manson and Max Jones would be preferable.

I doubt we'd be spending big 'assets' to acquire a guy like Simmonds for a few months lol

I think his previous failure in Nashville gave him sort of a Vanek type value. Motte and Jussi is about right for value.

Garbage in garbage out...

I mean no big deal if he was, but yes, he could be.

We could trade for Gaunce he would be cheap

Seriously it doesn't matter who they bring in this fan base will hate him regardless.

How's he doing on the 4th line in Boston??

Oh wait...

You wanted to trade Markstrom 2 weeks ago . Your vote doesn't count anymore

Know what I think? The problem with the 4th line is Beagle. Put Sutter back to C on line 3, give Gaudette Schaller and Bailey on line 4 and I bet they’re better

I wouldn't trade Motte for Simmonds

Why not just make Sutter 4C?

So, Schaller and Sautner. Sure

I still wanna trade him, he’ll want term, something Benning should stay clear of. He’s propping up a mediocre team, like Miller and Lack did in 2015, trade him at the TDL or at the draft.

Seniority

And, if the goal is to prop up Schaller, I think Gaudette would do a better job

So, Schaller and Sautner. Sure
- Reubenkincade

I'd think you'd have to do a little better than that. Maybe Utunen instead of Sautner
