Simmonds wants to remain a Flyer. He needs to tell his agent to shorten the term, sweeten the asking price, and get it done.

This will get lost in the mix due to today's fiasco but you're right. Hextall drove himself into a corner here.

Hextall was a pretty terrible evaluator of NHL level talent.

i don't get why we can't trade, it seems the teams managers over value our players

that incarceratedbob character said calgary had a deal with the flyers but simmonds wouldn't waive his NTC. no idea how legit he is
- nastyflyergirl


How in the world do you not already know what teams Simmonds would and wouldn't go to? This should have been spelled out crystal clear weeks ago. THIS is ineptitude. If you know Simmonds wont go to Calgary, then there is no point talking to Calgary.

If I'm running the organization I would have asked Simmonds a few days ago for a list of the teams he refuses to go to. I would even be extra nice and ask what teams he would like to go to.

If they haven't signed him by now it's likely not happening. That why he needs to be moved now.

I agree. Fletcher needs to come down a bit.
