dariusop2012 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I wanted MG to offer sheet this guy next year! I am still angry at holmgren for his ridiculous offer sheet at Shea Weber.

Jakub Voracek Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 I'm extremely happy with this signing. Simmonds is a beast, and i'm pretty happy I get to watch the Wayne Train for the next 6 years in the orange, and black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lonny_Bohonos_14 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 So this should be a good indicator of what Burrows gets. They had almost identical stats last year. 4 or 5 years @ ~4 million looks to be a good deal for both Burrows and the Canucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Kane Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Great signing for the Flyers, they locked up 2 key pieces (Simmonds and Voracek) for the long term at reasonable prices (not cheap but reasonable). But the Flyers need help on defense, I wonder if they'll use one of their young forwards (maybe Matt Read) to acquire some help on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Vintage Canuck- Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 @tpanotchCSN Simmonds deal is actually worth $23.82 million w/all bonuses vs cap ($3.97m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squeak Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 how? he is a 30 goal scorer, he's a 2nd/3rd line versatility player. Burrows should get a similar contract, similar years and money. Fair contract for both sides Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etsen3 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Care to elaborate which year he was a 30 goal scorer? Seeing as his career high is 28 goals.... you might be hard pressed to find the answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canuck Surfer Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 In Paul Holmgren's language signing a young player to a long term contract officially means he's trade bait! Get a trade done, Bally for Simmonds MG! @TSNBobMcKenzie: Wayne Simmonds has agreed to 6 year extension with PHI. Not sure on precise AAV but hearing it's around $4M per year. @tpanotchCSN: Source tells CSNPhilly.com that Simmonds deal has an AAV of $3.84 million Charles LeClaire-US PRESSWIRE - Presswire Wayne's World. Paul Holmgren strikes again. Maybe it's not quite the midnight offer sheet maneuver, but the unexpected six-year contract at 11 p.m. maneuver might as well be the next best thing. According to Bob McKenzie at TSN, Wayne Simmonds has signed a six-year contract extension with the Philadelphia Flyers this evening. It's reportedly worth about $4 million per season. An exact financial breakdown is as of yet unknown. Simmonds will earn $1.75 million against the salary cap this coming season, the final year of a two-year deal. It's probably a slight overpayment for Simmonds, who very well may regress a bit from the near-30 goal, 21 assist performance he put up a year ago. Then again, Simmonds did see more power play time last season than he ever had in his career to date. That led to 11 power play goals in total, and it's possible (perhaps likely) that his opportunities will increase both on the power play and at even strength next season. His overall shooting percentage may regress as well, but not too drastically. Simmonds put pucks in the net on 14.2 percent of his shots last year. In the two seasons prior, he averaged a 12.3 percent shooting percentage. The deal could work out for the best, especially considering he turns 24 next week and has yet to reach his prime. There's of course the awkward CBA angle to all of this, though. The Flyers have indeed signed Simmonds to this deal tonight, but at the same time, owner Ed Snider and the rest of the league's big wigs are trying to force a severe salary rollback out of all their players in CBA negotiations. That would include Simmonds. "Hey, we'll give you this money now, but we're going to want 20 percent of it back before we let you play hockey." Has to be at least a bit awkward, no? In any event, Simmonds is locked up as a Flyer through the 2018-19 season with this deal. He'll be 30-years-old when the deal expires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Simmonds is bigger, younger and tougher. But Burrows is the more complete player for sure. He makes any line he plays on better. Simmonds puts it out there offering different but significant intangibles, but does not quite the developed skill level of Burrows yet. And Burrows is a beast on the PK. So Burrows is currently the more valuable player? I think this looks good for Gillis resigning Burrows, both simliar players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
