Who's talking politics?

I'm merely pointing out hypocrisy and double standards.. something I'm confident you're not familiar with.

Don't forget to run to the mods if this gets too heavy.

If he takes a 1 year deal sure he would be good for the locker room and can chip in a few goals, but I agree he is done long term
- Stripes77


If Simmonds is taking a 1year deal,
i think it’s safe to say it would be with a playoff team & not us

You think he’s got 3 years left in him?
He’s already dropped off quite a bit
I’d stay away

reduced roll, esp with preds because they were healthy

still had 12 5 on 5 goals which is more then any sabre not named eichel, skinner, reinhart or pommer

simmonds on the second or third line IMO is an upgrade over tage or pommer

Well that’s not saying much at all... is it?

Last thing we should be doing is signing a guy in decline to a multi year deal

It’s likely moot anyways
He’ll sign short term to play bottom6 on a playoff team

My point exactly

Btw...
still waiting to hear the moves u want us to make this offseason


If you’re gonna challenge my statement,
“We won’t be Cup contenders this year no matter what we do”
At least give something to show how we can be

Buffatax

Give him 3 years, when other teams offer 1 or 2 years

Price of being a buffalo Sabres fan


Simmonds will fall off in year 2 or 3. Move him and a pick in year 3 if needed

I’d just rather go another route than to sign a guy to a 3 year deal with the plan to try & dump him after a year or 2

Adding grit & toughness is fine
But can we target someone younger and not as beat up?
Reeves is a scumbag,
but i think Vegas would unload him cheap bc of their Cap situation

Debatable imo. And Pominville can likely be had for 1 year at $2m. God knows what it would take to get Simmonds here.

his shooting % was a tad under 11, normally a tad over 13


if we use that excuse to defend a sabre, why can't the same be applied to simmonds?

He’s gone from a 30-ish goal scorer to a 20-ish goal scorer in a few seasons

Clearly, the guy has enough wear & tear on him that he’s started declining

What deal would u realistically offer him that he’d accept to come here?
And what exactly would u be expecting from Simmonds (role & production)?

I've always liked Simmonds, but 3 years is no bueno. If that's the cost of doing business, I'm out. Someone will likely offer 3/$12 or even 3/$15. We all know July 1 is insanity.
