I've always wanted Nichushkin. His numbers are terrible right now, but I would still love to get him and hope for a later career explosion.

So you can overlook his zero goals in 43 games this season and hope he figures it out? I'm not on board, sorry.

I’m hoping other teams realize the kind of year that Simmonds is having inside the locker room

Yeah... Don't think simmer is getting moved. Looks like Fletch overplayed his hand
- bulet13

Simmonds is a second/third tier player for the purpose of this deadline. Not Fletchers fault because he can’t just give him away.

Woof. Unlike the original poster, I have zero interest in him in a deal.

I get it.... believe me. I don't know what his issue is, but loads of talent isnt one of them.

I wish there was a writer that frequents these boards that knows something about the Dallas team that could shed light not only on Nichushkin but on what Dallas might offer for Simmonds....

He's got size and wheels, but I think it's a lack of heart, and I don't think a different city is gonna change that. Dude already bolted for home once, I think he will again.

I thought Fletch was hired for his action bias?
- StepfordSam



The Flyers put Fletcher in this position by publicly stating they wanted to see more action.

Other GM's see this and feel like they can underbid because Fletcher needs to do SOMETHING.

Worst case scenario is they keep Simmonds, cant sign him, and have a extra 4 million in cap space to sign someone else.

Nichushkin sucks.

And to think I was pissed off when Dallas picked him one pick before us.

Little over one hour until Fletcher trades multiple top-end young pieces for quick veteran fixes to save this season.

Needs to get moving on these, I was promised this is what we'd be seeing.

I don't think he sucks. I think it's a flatulence issue. Too many sharts in the locker room, no one wants him around.

Looking at that draft and who was picked after #11, I sure hope Morin pans out. A lot of players I would like to see in orange and black picked after him.

It was a deep draft, but Lindros and Pronger weren't going #10 and #11.

I remember a lot of people thought Max Domi would be the Flyers' guy, since he had so many Bobby Clarke qualities, even down to the Type 1 Diabetes.

IIRC I was rooting for Josh Morrissey.

I would like to see him on at least 1 other NHL roster. Sometimes you just like some players and want to see them succeed. I can't say why I liked Nichushkin, but I have since he was drafted.
