Hopefully a bidding war bumps it up to a 2nd, but a 3rd is fair.

PensTV showed him sitting in the war room and I swear to god his quote was " Our priorities are Dom Simon, Evan Rodrigues, and Mark Jankowski." He should have been fired right then and there.

Agree would love to see a 2nd but a 3rd would be fine.

The virtanen is trending he is in no way ready to play top 6 minutes. He is the type of forward you trade another project forward for if you are a rebuilding team. Probably why he has been linked to Anaheim. Not sure what Deslauries brings. He has been a tweener his entire career. Would rather hold onto the prospect and pick, even though both are low value.

I really like the Haula addition and value though. That would be a good piece. I read he has been getting good PK time in too. That's always helpful down the stretch.

VAN doesn't need Riikola, just give them the draft pick.

LOL
Honestly, I think Malkin is gonna have a sit down with Mario about removing Sully next. I think he's had enough of him.

Maybe the QO was too much? I think it would have been like 1.2 mil.
He probably thought he was worth 5 x that being carried on his back by Crosby. Bet his time in CGY was a wake up call.

GMJR still could've just signed him as a UFA though similar to Schultz back in 2016 right. so idk how serious GMJR was about bringing him back. Hard to imagine a world where Simon would leave pit for Calgary despite earning the same amount of money

I think the last part is the issue there.
If you feel like you are getting snubbed are you going back?
They played him a lot of minutes, in my opinion with **** results, but a lot of minutes and the line was fairly good. Now we know he got carried, but in HIS mind, that's not true at all and he was a part of that.
He probably thought he was worth more than 700k a year. If that was the offer from the penguins, go pound salt.
Goes to CGY.
I can see why he's gone at 700k a year. JR did the right thing and didn't pay him 1.2 million. He thought that check was his right, part ways.
