Wouldn’t take him for league minimum. Too slow, much rather have a kid in bottom 6 over Simmer.
You can only watch him gain the zone, stop, not know what to do with the puck, and turn it over so many times
you see defenders get really aggressive with him because they know what he will do, its not even what he tends to do, its what he always doesHe should just be dumping the puck into the opposite corner for someone else to retrieve and going to the net when he has the puck in the neutral zone. He should be strictly forbidden from carrying it across the blueline unless he is on an odd-man rush at this point.
Not that I necessarily disagree with the base premise of the OP, in that Fletcher really should be looking to trade Simmonds as soon as there’s a decent deal on the table, but man oh man, the disrespectful and dismissive fashion in which this guy gets attacked makes me want to vomit. Like it’s been said already, from heart and soul fan favourite to being a “piece of garbage” to be thrown away for a 4th rounder. Perhaps makes you wonder why he’d even want to try if he’s playing for fans like this.
Wouldn’t be shocking to see him put up 25+ goals next season on a better team that doesn’t still have the Hakstol stink and after a longer recovery period from core surgery. By then I’m sure you will have a new whipping boy anyway.

Well he did go from being healthy and playing on Giroux wing to being injured and playing with filppula. Drop of in his production was to be expected. We don't really know if he fully healed yet eitherFrom fan favorite to GTFO
Real quick

Gimme someone that actually tries at this point.
The only time Simmer comes to life is when there is a loose puck around the crease. Completely dogging it everywhere else on the ice.
But he has possibly 30-40 million reasons to work his ass off and have a good year.I think he’s dogging it cause he’s upset we don’t want to keep him. The drop off is too drastic.
Why the **** would he be playing hurt ? Season is over, and they are using him as a top winger and he’s a detriment. He is.def not hurt
