With news coming out of Philly about the potential to move Simmonds, I was wondering what CP thought of him as a potential fit in Calgary? We here about Lindholm (who I do like) and guys like Tavares (Pipe Dream) but I think if the price is right Simmonds would be a fantastic fit for the Flames. Here's why:

1. The flames desperately need help on RW
2. They need a top line guy who can jump start the PP
3. His net front presence is awesome
4. Adds an element of toughness
5. One year remaining on a cheap cap hit contract

Simmonds does have a 12 team no trade clause; however, if the Flames can somehow make this happen, I honestly don't see a better fit for this team.

Thoughts?
