It’s been a tough tenure for Wayne Simmonds with the Toronto Maple Leafs, but he deserves playoff ice-time.
So, why would the Toronto Maple Leafs consider Wayne Simmonds as an option after he was put on waivers and barely played with the team during the regular season? Well, it’s actually simpler than you think.
If you watched the Leafs game on Saturday night against the Montreal Canadiens you may have experienced this, but being inside of Scotiabank Arena gave you a different perspective. I was fortunate to attend the game and the applause/recognition for Simmonds was unlike any reaction for a current player all season.
