Herberts Vasiljevs Posted February 9, 2020 Share Posted February 9, 2020 (edited) It's time. He'll come cheap too. Ideally he'd play in our bottom-6 but you can plug him into our top-6 if we have to (and that would likely be the case right now with Boeser out). Yes, I know he's not the player he once was, but bringing him in would be an inexpensive move that seems like a no-brainer to me...

Yep he's a 6'7" defenseman that weighs 270ish lbs and skates like the wind. We've already seen what he can do three or so years ago, it's not like we couldn't give it another go. We won't know until he comes to camp but as far as labels go, he was just fine on the bottom pairing the first time around and he won't be worse then that. Our defense needs some teeth and he'd bring more of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they want Louie for him than fine but otherwise no thank you. He was and is a solid top nine forward who can be utilized on the power play. He is not washed up and is a good skater who can find the open spot when needed. I think he would be a good under the radar addition to a team like the Canucks. Yes the team could have to move out bodies, but Simmonds would be an upgrade and especially useful if Ferland is not quite a factor this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweathog Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 I would love to have Simmonds on this team this year, if the price is right. But would it make a difference? This team seems to have re-adopted the whole "turn the other cheek" type of culture. What's the point of bringing him in if they'll just put a straightjacket on him when he gets here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The former may be true, but to claim you know what he is seems pretty silly. Time will tell, not your crystal ball. I wouldn't say he's overrated, we don't have a good grasp on what he is at the NHL level. But it could argued he's overhyped, which is fairly common when it comes to sports fanbases.

oldnews Posted February 10, 2020 Share Posted February 10, 2020 21 hours ago, Toyotasfan said: 31 years old steady decline in stats for five years the same size and weight as Pettersson. 104 goals the past 4 seasons. If 32 to 31 goals is part of a 'steady' decline, cool story. If you have a problem with 24 goals, cheers. If a cheap rental who scored 17 goals, threw 137 hits, is fearless doesn't appeal to you, I wonder what your expectations are. 1 season of 'decline' - surrounded by a lottery team full of disappointments. The Pettersson comparison is about as absurd as it gets - and for the sake of accuracy, not they're not the same weight - 10lbs is a significant difference - and EP has about 4 or 5 years to grow into his strength = it's just a ridiculous equivalency.

It would be unrealistic for us to expect him to be anything but a 3rd pairing defenseman at this point. I'm not a fan of this logic. There are plenty of AHL "stars" that don't pan out at the NHL level. Also, defensive players don't get the credit they deserve as stars even up to the NHL level. Someone like Tanev wouldn't be considered a "star", but he's easily in my top 4 dmen group. By all accounts, Tryamkin has improved and focused his game more towards being a defensive dman. So while he's not an offensive "star", there's no reason to think he couldn't be a top 4 dman at the NHL level given that he's playing top pairing minutes now on his team which includes top PK time. He may start here as a bottom pairing guy to adapt back into the system and the league, but we will see how long he stays there. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'd have to retain half the cap for it to work. I'd be willing to upgrade that 3rd to a 2nd if it convinces them to take Baertschi instead of Schaller. Maybe even upgrade Palmu to Lockwood. We get a good energy vet for the playoffs and free us of Baer's cap next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning could certainly do another deal somewhere else for Cap. How are Simmonds’ wheels? Edited February 11, 2020 by Me_ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N4ZZY Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 I think Ferland is going to be okay. No need for Simmonds. But if his contract is expiring this summer, then i'm all for it. I'm not sure how much of an impact he would make on the team, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
