How about a flip for assets and resign as a free agent He would look great for a playoff run with Toronto but they cant afford to keep him longer than that.

“...and according to my sources several key players have come forward to push for Simmonds extension.”

Let me guess, Nolan Patrick again (re: Weiss).

I am all for the Flyer doing things that prevent them from becoming a better team, i.e. NOT trying finally get a good goalie or trade players they can go back and re-sign in the off-season to bolster their futures.

I think he may be the ingredient that Tampa is missing. He might not be the fighter Tom Wilson is, but would keep him honest in a playoff matchup. Tampa fans are tired of their stars being pushed around.

I'm just having a little fun, relax lol

Oh, and pretty much anyone who isn't a Penguins fan hates the Penguins. They're basically the Yankees of the NHL.

Trade him for a haul.

Resign him in July if you can.

The players here deserve zero input on this decision by the way they played for 45 games.

This core will have missed the playoffs for the fourth time in 7 years at the end of this season. They've been eliminated in the first round the other three years. They haven't won ANYTHING together. I like Simmer but someone is going to dole out huge money and regret all but probably the first two years of his new contract. I REALLY hope that's not the Flyers. If this team would have any history of success together they might have more pull. I would love to see more changes to the core, not status quo. They need to have money for guys coming out of their ELC's and pieces not on the wrong side of 30 because those are going to be the guys actually contributing by the time this disaster turns the corner.

Agreed. That's great players like a guy that has been with them for awhile, but at the end of the day do they want to win or do they want to keep things the same?

Same core, different coaches, different gm now, different players around them...not winning

Sounds good to me...

Simmonds to whoever for a 1st and prospect.

Voracek to Ottawa for Stone.

Better team.

Alright. Trade them all for Christ’s sake. Nearly dead last in the league. Dead ducking last. Time for the core to have it shoved up their ass. Move Simmonds. Move Jake. Listen on giroux

Appreciate a Flyer fan telling it like it should be. No sugarcoating here. You've got a heck of a goalie now in Hart. Been quite a while between he and Lindburgh. Good luck going forward.

I actually appreciate this very much. You clearly took time to make this for me and it means so much. I'd like to thank the Flyers for never changing and EK for always bringing so much insight.
