Maybe he has slowed a step and perhaps his defensive game has suffered a bit, but he is the type of player that could really solidify this team and the kind of playoff vet that this team could most certainly use one or two more of IMO.
As with all deals though, it would hinge on acquisition cost.

Yeah, Simmonds would be a good player for us - but I don't think I'd want any part of an extension for him, and because I'm not big on pure rentals I'd hope we'd be looking elsewhere.
I know we're scouting the Rangers, and it's undoubtedly a pipe dream...but damn, Zibanejad is sure taking another step this year - but with the age he's at, hard to believe a rebuilding team would move him.
