Anhkheg Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'll admit I wanted a RW, but Wayne Simmonds is really far from what I wanted in a RW. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfitz804 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 The money doesn't matter. If he's our 3rd or 4th line RW, I think he can only exceed expectations. I don't hate it as a 1 year deal, the money being more than I would have expected, but insignificant in the grand scheme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 i mean a Wood - Zacha - Simmonds 4th line is pretty good IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anhkheg Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 Don't know Shero's plan, maybe we will be getting another winger and a dman.

Guadana Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) Hope it`s sign for 4 line and for pp, not for 2nd line Edited July 1, 2019 by Guadana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 So something like this so far i guess... Hall - Hischier - Bratt Boqvist - Hughes - Palms Coleman - Zajac - Simmonds Wood - Zacha - Anderson Vatanen - Subban Butcher - Severson Greene - Smith Mueller - Carrick Schneider Blackwood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of his stats, I was just looking at them as well and I feel like I always point it out, but it's something that I think is under-valued and always seems to stick out to me with players when I see it - Simmonds is remarkably healthy. In 12 seasons he's only missed 27 games, which means he's suited up for 957 out of a possible 984, good for 97.2%. Every team gets hit with the injury big, but last year was especially bad for us, so this is something that I think should mean something to us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devil Dan 56 Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I'm not a huge fan of the Simmonds deal but he brings some toughness and grit which was missing last year, plus some scoring ability not including last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, def not a bad idea to add some grit. We need a player that can stand up when someone whacks at our goalie or trys to take a run at our franchise guys. Has NJ had that since Clarkson/Janssen? Seems like forever. Boyle was all talk. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
