Simmonds, IMO, is a complementary player, not a star. To put him on a level with guys like Crosby, Kane, Malkin, or even Toews or Briere is to way overrate him and expect to much from him. Jake has been a flat out disappointment this series though and needs to play better and to be more disciplined.
Giroux is giving his all and he's a legit top player in this league. I think Patrick is going to be one too, but he's not quite there yet at age 19. - BiggE
IMO Simmonds is a star. He's has multiple 30 goal seasons. He has an All-Star Game under his belt. I would argue the casual hockey watcher knows more about Simmonds than Voracek.
With this said, Simmonds isn't a super star. Voracek on the other hand is or should be a super star. For some, he's been a disappointment in these playoffs...Period! I can't think of Jake Voracek's greatest moments in the playoffs.
Which is why I asked where some of you guys grade our stars to the best in the league with an actual playoff track record.

Simmonds is a good player but he doesn't drive the play and that is why I wouldn't put him on par with the likes of the other guys being mentioned.

If Couturier is hurt, everything will litrilly be terrible. - johndewar
How in the holy (frank) are they even in a position to be taking hits like this at practice?!
Even if it was just an accidental collision, its the playoffs! That means rest between games, maintain health, watch video, but DO NOT under any circumstances over do it between games.....

It's all good, Hakstol said he hasn't thought about line combos if Couturier is out tomorrow.
