Simmonds is a perfect fit for the Flames. Would be a great leader for the kids who play with an edge also ( Hathaway, Ferland, Grant, etc)
And would also be an ideal linemate for JG and SM as he wouldn't put up with other players taking liberties. Wayne Simmonds doesn't take other teams $#!+, that maybe why some people think he takes bad penalties.

Exactly this. Simmonds plays with edge, grit, sandpaper, but plays with integrity and has 1st line skill, and is only 27. I would absolutely LOVE to have him on our team (and so would all 29 other clubs). He is making $4million bucks per, and if Brad goes for gold in the next couple years, he'll have to spring for a guy like Simmonds to play RW. In my opinion, he's an upgrade over a $4million Hudler.
Plus it would be awesome to taunt Oiler fans that our Wayne is better than theirs and watch think get into a tizzy.
