Team: 2018-19 Tampa Bay Lightning

Initial Creation Date: Feb. 25, 2019

Published: Feb. 25, 2019

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

Description

Rumor that asking price for Simmonds being a prospect and a first is way too high. He is a 30 year old rental. JT Miller is 5 years younger, and a versatile forward who can play anywhere. Miller has a higher expected goal differential and plus/minus than Simmonds, as well as a higher points per 60 minutes. Katchouk still needs another year in the AHL before he is ready, but he is expected to be a solid Top 6 forward.

You do realise Simmonds is not a good player anymore right?
bad at 5v5, PP dropped off, bad at defense, doesn't PK, etc

Lightning need a cap dump this year anyway, and Miller's contract only makes it more difficult to sign guys like Point in FA this offseason. Simmonds is a good rental and net-front presence whose skill set is similar, though not as a good, as Miller. For example, Miller isn't on the PK either. The talent may not be as high, but Simmonds is still serviceable and it clears a lot of cap for the Lightning.

If we trade for Simmonds, it wouldn't include trading a better roster player to get him lol.

Again, we need a cap dump, otherwise this offseason is going to be extremely tough on JBB. Simmonds isn't as good as Miller, never said he was. But his skill set is still good enough that it is worth the trade to keep guys like Point, Erne, Paquette, etc. He would be the best net-front presence the Lightning have had in a while, and a good addition to the PP. While we are definitely going for the Cup this year, we have to think about the future as well, Miller's contract is only a hindrance. Especially considering he has a M-NTC starting next season, we don't need another Killorn.
