Handing Simmonds a contract like this is as bad as the JVR deal. Too early and not enough to warrant the term or $.[/QUOTE]

So I guess you work in the front office and just know that Simmer has bust all over him huh? This contract is a very good deal. This young man works to hard on and off the ice not to warrant locking him up. He is no chump. All the work he does for the inner city kids proves that he wants to be a role model. I am proud to have him on the team and glad he wants to be here for the long haul. This young core of players that Holmgren has put together is very impressive and they want to play for each other with no clicks in the room. As far as the JVR deal I will agree with you on that point. James going to the leafs may be what he needs to get his career jump started. But to call the Simmonds contract a bad deal proves to me that you have a agenda as far as this young man's talent and heart are concerned but not me. How can you say to early? That is why they have what is called a coaching staff who know way more about talent than you or I. No one is perfect, but my money is on Simmer. Time will prove me right and I will predict that!
