I was hoping it would be closer to $1 mil, but don't hate it.

He would have got more somewhere else. Just like Spezza. Good deal. Now get a d man.

Sounds like Habs offered more money

Yeah 1.5 is maybe a touch more than I want if he plays 4th line but if we get some 2nd PP/3rd line use that?s not bad.  Hopefully it shuts up the Dubas only signs skill

The right-wing is open after Nylander/Marner so there's a chance he's playing 3RW minutes too if he's up to it.

He'll play. And I'm so sock of listening to the Dubas plan doesn't include tough players.

There was clearly a lot of interest here from the get go. Micah seems to think Simmonds is worth the $1.5m. Wonder if he can play on third line in a pinch. Wonder how he fell off a cliff so fast though, kinda weird. Maybe the Leafs staff can rehabilitate him a bit.

Yeah, I think he's 4th line so maybe twice what you'd want to spend. He used to be pretty good at killing penalties...

He says he's healthier then he's been in a few years.

New Jersey and Buffalo. Nuff said...2 dumpster fires

$1.5M is pretty reasonable for a quality bottom 6 winger.

Ya they still have Marleau's cryogenic tank around.

Not to disrespect your post because I seen that he said that too but I doubt he'd say "my body is wrecked"...

 

[Frank E]

I approve.  They needed a grinder.

 

[Highlander]

it's a good signing, no long term risk, Toronto boy, talent and grit, whats not to like.

 

[bustaheims]

He did still put up 25+ points playing 3rd line type minutes each of the last two seasons, in spite of his injury issues. If he can come near that and bring the physical game the team needs, that's more than enough value for the Leafs.

If healthy do y'all think he gets any time on the 2nd PP unit?

Hard to think he wouldn't at least start there.
