Sportsnet: The trade market for Philadelphia Flyers forward Wayne is going to start picking up.
“I think you’re going to see some teams start pushing for him,” Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman said Saturday during Hockey Night in Canada‘s ‘Headlines’ segment. “San Jose, Calgary and Winnipeg — if Philadelphia feels (a) it wants to make the deal, and (b) is sufficiently out of the playoffs, to do it too.”
The 30-year old Simmonds is in the last year of his deal at a $3.975 million cap hit.
John Boruk of NBC Sports Philadelphia: Wayne Simmonds is well aware that he may have played his last game in a Philadelphia Flyers jersey last night.
