Zigmund.Palffy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Quote Philadelphia Flyers Rumour: Wrapping up NHL Trade Rumours today, Dave Reid discussed the Vegas Golden Knights being a potential landing spot for Wayne Simmonds on NHL Tonight. NHL Network ✔@NHLNetwork Wayne Simmonds to Vegas? #NHLTonight 63 12:44 PM - Jan 30, 2019 30 people are talking about this Twitter Ads info and privacy Analysis: With the inevitable trade of Simmonds looming, the number of teams interested in him keeps growing. His physicality and style of play would be a good fit for Vegas if he did slot into the second line alongside Paul Stastny and Max Pacioretty. Philly has had a very disappointing season. However, Simmonds could fetch a very solid return at the deadline. A lesser player that can help them now. But, also a solid pick or prospect for the future. Philly is in a weird spot right now, however, the future will be their main concern. LOL VGK already confirms ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 How old is he? always liked his style. One of the best dirty area crease finishers in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Not really a rumor rather an analysts' speculation/hypothesis. He would look good though in their forward group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warrchief Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 That Patches-Stastny-Simmonds line possibility. Now that can do some damage in the playoffs, a really heavy line that can forecheck hard and dominate the dirty areas. I'd be scared of them.

Warhippy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 That's a big tough line with some mobility and speed issues but works REALLY well together on paper. But would they get walked by speedier forwards? That's the kind of 3rd line that would win a cup, but as a 2nd line I have some concerns about their ability to keep up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fanuck Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 He's the exact type of player I'd be trying to acquire if my team was as close as they think they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 He would be a great fit and put Vegas in the conversation in the top 4 if not top 2 in the West. A very "heavy" lineup that is built for playoff hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
