bob_sauve28 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Agent: Wayne, you have been traded! Simmonds: Yes! Thank God I'm off the Devils! Agent: Yup, you are shuffling off to Buffalo! Simmonds: What? Seriously? Oh sh it! Edited February 24, 2020 by bob_sauve28 6 Quote

I hope we don't give away prospects unless we get a starting goalie (to share time with Leenus) in the deal True fifth rounder and they keep 50% of his salary. Why not. At least it adds toughness and he still can score. Not big risk here. 2 Quote

GASabresIUFAN Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 And he’ll get that 5th back when he trades ERod. Quote
LTS Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 This is a kind of trade that should lead to a slight roster change. Expect Sheary to move.. size for whatever Sherry brings. i doubt anything big happens... 3 Quote
Carmel Corn Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) Well, at least we have somebody else who can play on the right wing side. Simmonds > Bob Corkum Edited February 24, 2020 by Carmel Corn 1 Quote
triumph_communes Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 4th or 5th is nothing. Cap was retained 50% so the day isn’t necessarily over. Keeps guys in Rochester down. Whats not to like? Zero risk move 2 Quote
MODO Hockey Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 (edited) latest 3 seasons, 221 games, 102 points. Not impressed by this trade, could we not get more for 5 million ? Edit: At it seams they take 50 % of his salary, so 2,5 million.. fair enough i guess. Edited February 24, 2020 by MODO Hockey Quote
Ruff Around The Edges Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 Ok the 50% retainment by NJ makes this deal more tolerable Quote

I think the appearance of trying to make a push will be a very good thing for the atmosphere in that locker room. Sure it's a long shot, but it's a positive message we haven't seen around these parts in a very long time. 5 Quote

LGR4GM Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 Unless there's another move, this is meaningless. Quote

Huckleberry Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 @Brawndo Simmonds sorry is bugging me for some reason. And I'm fine with this trade just didn't expect us to be buying. Quote

Beer Posted February 24, 2020 Report Posted February 24, 2020 and to think this was the only pushin’ I thought Botts was capable of Quote

True, it’s a long shot but with Toronto and Florida staggering, JBot is saying they are going for it. I think there are more small deals to come. 1 Quote
