Toronto Maple Leafs news

Wayne Simmonds time on the ice dwindled over last season. Is he a player who continues to add value to the Toronto Maple Leafs?

It would be great if the Maple Leafs could find a position for Simmonds within the organization if he wishes to keep playing. He looks forward to sharing his insights about the Toronto Maple Leafs and about how sports engages life more fully. We aren’t sure that Simmonds can still help the team win, even in a limited role. Comparing Simmonds’ production to the now-retired Spezza this past regular season shows that Spezza scored seven more goals than Simmonds (12-5) and 14 more points (25-16). Spezza did play more, averaging 10:45 per game to Simmonds’ 9:20 per game. Simmonds only saw ice time in two playoff games, and only averaged 5:33 of time in those two games. The question we are looking at here is whether or not the Maple Leafs should keep Simmonds.
