Simmonds a Leaf

[louisstamos]

If healthy do y'all think he gets any time on the 2nd PP unit?

As the net front presence, absolutely.

Have to imagine he gets a shot there, yeah.

There was clearly a lot of interest here from the get go. Micah seems to think Simmonds is worth the $1.5m. Wonder if he can play on third line in a pinch. Wonder how he fell off a cliff so fast though, kinda weird. Maybe the Leafs staff can rehabilitate him a bit.

New Jersey and Buffalo. Nuff said...2 dumpster fires

He was crap for the Predators too.

I mean no one here is expecting the Wayne Simmonds from 5 years ago. I think that's clear.

For 17 games, getting 4th line minutes.

Very low risk, addresses some needs and I think there's the possibility of some real upside. Like was said, I don't think anyone is expecting the 30 goal and 60 point Simmonds but 20 goal and 40+ point guy from three years ago? 

I'm in on this.

 

[Bullfrog]

I'm happy for this signing.

As I said in the other thread, there's no way he was getting less than $1.5M. It's actually quite a home-town discount.

;D

Wayne Simmonds is at least this, a guy who can sit in front of the net and get a goal. Something the Leafs have very little of.

 

[Arn]

This is good. I approve.

 

[Redleaf]

I?m OK with us providing an upgrade on D is imminent.

 

[WAYNEINIONA]

Good move. Now who will they get for a D man?

 

[Guilt Trip]

Yes...fingers crossed lol

I'm also not against him ragdolling a couple guys.

Co-signed. Nobody should be on the roster just because they throw hands but doing that as a bonus? Sign me up.

I just got sad thinking about the fact that his first fight in Toronto will likely be in an empty arena.

 

[Phileas Fogg]

I like it, great start, almost no risk. His contract is fine on the 4th line and a deal if he can play 3rd, and hey, netfront on PP2 would be ideal.

However, I sure hope that they aren't done in revamping the bottom 6. One guy isn't enough to say they addressed this.

I like team balance.
