I like Simmonds, but I don't see a spot for him to play outside the 4th line and I would prefer someone more defensively reliable that can PK in that role.
I see the same problem (no spot for him to play) with a Josh Anderson acquisition, I don't see him knocking someone out of the top 9, and he'll make too much money for the 4th line, even though he would be a good fit defensively and on the PK.
