Your derision is neither warranted nor accepted. I come here to have fun with trade proposals, knowing some are going to get picked. You stay here to pick fights with posters whenever you can.

Ask yourself why NJ would unload him for virtually nothing when they are a weak, shallow roster if he was actually a functioning and contributing part of their bottom 6. Same for Buffalo. The answer is that he wasnt/ isnt.

TSN saying Flames one of the many teams expected to make an offer to Hall.

Well that would be a glorious alternative to landing Hall.

Yes, my soul reason for being here is fight whenever I can.
You are on a roll spreading your enlightened opinion.

What problem does that solve exactly? And more importantly, what problem does that create?

Again, weak argument that makes no sense. Bottom 6 forwards move all the time, which is what he is. Your argument that he isn’t is ridiculous.

To add to this NJ traded him at the deadline when they were out of a playoff spot. The only surprise in him being moved was that Buffalo gave up a pick for him.

I would agree with you if this wasn't his 4th team in 2 years. That sort of bottom 6 player movement only happens to players about to exit the league. We should not tack ourselves on to that list and pay the price.

I am hoping the Flames lock in Markstrom early and then they have that in their pitch for Hall. Solid veterans, good young players, top end goaltending.

He was a deadline acquisition twice and signed as a free agent in that time period, using him being traded at the deadline is not proof of anything no matter how much you want it to.

Another reason that makes no sense. Except for the soon to exit the league thing... because he’s 33. So, obviously?
You claimed he isn’t a bottom 6 forward in the league, yet several teams are looking at him right now. They have no idea though, because he’s a vet who’s been moved a bunch lately and that means... no one wants him and he is done.

Why aren't Buffalo, NJ, Philly or Nashville looking at him? It's because they do know, the guy isn't good enough to stick anymore and just takes a roster spot away from an actual potential contributor (and likely for more money than the replacement will take.)
Your argument is that he's a contributor based on limited numbers bouncing around between some of the worst teams in the league. He's not only on these bad teams, he is an anchor possession wise and corsi wise and these teams as well. In addition to the atrocious +/- numbers I posted earlier. This guy is not a bottom 6 player in the NHL on a playoff team. Do we want to be a playoff team?

Or, veteran who hasn’t won a cup isn’t interested in re-upping with lottery team. More news at 11.

Just because the Canadian media isn't spreading rumors that those teams are looking at Simmonds, doesn't mean they aren't.

Is anyone else happy that the Flames aren't going full Oilers and having the media pump up the soon to be new arena as a reason to come to Calgary? I cringed every time the Oilers pushed that narrative through their talking heads.

Led to believe the Detroit Red Wings may be the front runners for former #Sens winger Bobby Ryan. He was bought out last month by the club and has been allowed to shop himself around. He's had a ton of interest.
