Well that I have never seen... but Rick USUALLY got the legit sources when he tweets... do you have a better source than him??

Where he falls apart is when he starts postulating his own thoughts/ideas etc on info from his sources. He was also quite clearly played as a patsy in the Edler negotaions especially by Edler's agent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has made the 4th line and penalty kill better than they are without him. I'm hoping that, whatever they do, it involves Eriksson. To his credit, he hasn't played as bad as he did last year, but his salary is a huge impediment to next year's signings, and his NTC is terrifying heading towards the expansion draft. We can only hope. Why is his NTC an issue. He wont be protected, thats only NMC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading them away only limits the number of chances we have that a guy will come through. We lost one in Madden. Trading any more of the top guys for another rental is just stupid IMO. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WiDeN Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 3 minutes ago, aGENT said: Yup. I see his first two years were a NMC, then two years of NTC, then two more of modified NTC. So is it that players with a no-trade clause can be selected in an entry draft because that's not a trade, or does it come down to the wording of the clause itself?

Any NTC's (regular or modified) may be exposed. There's ZERO chance we protect Eriksson. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alt kilgore Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 How did Simmonds work out for Nashville last year when they tried the same thing? https://predlines.com/2019/07/24/nashville-predators-simmonds-trade/ Upon arrival to the Nashville Predators, Wayne Simmonds lacked any impact at all, scoring just one goal and two assists, totaling four points in his 17 games as a Predator ........................ Simmonds, on the other hand, was able to make the playoffs with the Nashville Predators, but was still a very insignificant piece to the puzzle and wound up only playing in two of the six games the Predators played in the playoffs, missing the last four due to injury, while not scoring a single point. Absolutely nuts to trade away more good prospects for a washed up rental, no matter how big he is. JB is living in some kind of foggy bubble from the past remembering a 25 year old Simmonds battling his Bruins for years on the East coast. There are other physical forwards without the inflated resume we could get for a 4th, and/or a prospect outside of the Magnificent Seven. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I like the type of player he is, and am in awe of his pain threshold, I don't see how trading for him will help the team with pushback. The issue is systemic and needs to be addressed by the leadership on the team, by....well, leading by example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jester13 Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 My bet is JB is using Simmonds as a ruse to get someone else. He's one sly dawg. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wood has been mentioned Craig Smith Josh Manson Really, any more physical player as an extra body for depth would be better than not having it. If it doesn't cost us a good prospect or another high pick. Magnificent Seven: Podkolzin Hoglander Rathbone Juolevi Woo Lind Rafferty I'd add DiPietro and Tryamkin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
