I'm a big fan of Simmonds, but he's far from untouchable.
- BulliesPhan87

I can see if the right deal came around, but like someone pointed out earlier (or maybe in Engel's comments?), Simmonds isn't the biggest goal getters but he does what MAYBE 5 other players in the league do as far as grit + goals + speed + a little playmaking.
I can think of

Bobby Ryan
Evander Kane
David Clarkson
Wayne Simmonds

Borderliners

Chris Stewart

Doesn't actually say
"Genuine DINOSAUR leg bone.
From the Morrison Formation in Utah which covers 600,000 square miles over several states, found to be the most fertile source of dinosaur fossils in North America. These specimens date back to the Jurassic Era, minimum 65 million years ago. It has petrified into stone as jasper and agate as it fossilized."

Yes, but can you crack open a beer bottle with that ring without scratching it?

Millions of years fossilized/traveling through space (which is dark and cold, I might add) > a beer bottle cap

Great line.

My favorite Seinfeld quote of all time, even though it's a running quote through the whole episode:

edit: That and when he tries to always go out on top.

Seriously, that line runs through my head at least once a day. Of course, if you say it out loud, the context is lost. I know how he feels, though.

Bill, where would you put Richards? He was a pretty good setup man, although he sometimes tried too hard (passing through 3 defenders).

Top 15 if I extended the list.
