Yeah I don't think that guy has watched Simmonds play.

He saw the hit on Ennis and immediately tagged him as dirty I bet lol.

Glad I'm not the only person laughing at this guy.
Please, I'm not trolling, I was having friendly discussion!

No worries my man anybody who watches hockey knows that Simmonds is a beast.

You have to understand Im a Sabre fan way beyond frustration but I dont like Simmonds.Just my personal feeling.

Because he moves his feet every shift. Because he takes the opposing players off their games. Because he plays with heart and on the edge, exactly like I hope our young guys start to. Or are you ok with "Top 6" role models like Stafford? Finesse players like Pommer?

I don't think we should build the team around him, but man, he does his agitator job better than almost anyone in the league. Keep that much heart on this team. THAT'S what's lacking here.

Exactly! I mean, just look at Kovalchuk a few weeks back. He definitely serves his purpose. Doesn't matter right now unfortunately, seeing that our pp isn't worth a damn.

there was no penalty, no suspension...how cheat could it be?

Simmonds is a great player, not a goon.

Thank you Homer

Simmonds>>>> Ott

Simmonds>>>> Ott
- sbroads24

Both solid players like them both a lot but if I had to pick I'd take Simmonds he's younger.

Marcus Foligno could be our Wayne Simmonds.

Ignore him 89 he said Wayne Simmonds is a goon lol
- sabresfandan

Simmonds is complete, guys like him, Clarkson, Lucic, Ott etc are worth the money.

Yep but Ive seen him play before that. Hes a pest who like to hit people and fly around much like Kaleta but with better hands.I still dont like him

Marcus Foligno could be our Wayne Simmonds.
- sbroads24

Yes he could i'll agree with that.

Agree 100%, 2.9 per for Ott is a steal those players are tough to find.

Your comparing Simmonds to Lucic. Not even close maybe Clarkson

I love 82 I have his jersey, loved his dad too.

Actually, that was Kaleta chirping Kovy a few weeks ago, IIRC. But the point remains. Last night, as poopty as the team was as a whole, Ott suckered that rookie Oleksy into taking a dumb penalty, and took Ovi off the ice when he was killing us.

It doesn't even bother me that he took that dumb call himself at the end of the game, does anyone really think we were about to overcome a 2 goal deficit? Ott was effective again last night. Again, one of the ONLY players that showed up.

Yes he could i'll agree with that.
- SABRES 89

Again I don't want to trade everyone for peanuts. But guys need to be moved, and In my opinion not just Stafford, Myers, and Leopold. They need to make some serious moves to shake things up

If he d show every game he plays.

I agree with you there, they need to make multiple moves and not just smaller type deals but Darcy is scared to death to pull the trigger on big moves.

He is only a rookie. Give him 2 years and he will be a beast IMO

IMO if you move any of the big 3 you should take the other team to the bank. Get all you can from them because Darcy holds the cards, the Nash situation was different our guys have less years remaining. Teams will pay if they really want to resign them, not saying I would move them.

They all the same, all fight, score chip in how ever they need to.

and better

To me, I think Pominville is the obvious choice. Then we can avoid "ripping the C off his jersey," which for some reason is something it seems a lot of people are afraid of doing.

Doubt you see a big shake up.

I think so too, IMO I'd move 29 and 30 and try to keep 26.
