After months of speculation and rumors galore, Chuck Fletcher finally pulled the trigger, and sent Wayne Simmonds to the Nashville Predators for Ryan Hartman, and a fourth round pick. And folks, I have some emotions I need to get out.
Wayne Simmonds was the quintessential Philadelphia Flyer. He gave you his all night in, and night out, and his effort never wavered. He gave his blood, sweat, and tears for this organization for eight seasons filled with many memories. If you looked up the phrase “fan favorite” in the dictionary, Wayne Simmonds’ face is plastered right next to it.
