Wayne Simmonds Extension (Approve 4-0)

[devilsgm]

The Devils wish to re-sign Wayne Simmonds to a 4 year $4,500,000 contract. Big upgrade from his previous contract. Sitting at 20th overall for all RW he is a valuable commodity. There are a couple stars ahead of him payed extremely well, but there are also others ahead of him that have a small contract size so I went a little bit higher than average.

Comparables - Simmonds - 83.55 PTS
Setoguchi - 83.7 PTS
Hodgson - 84.2
Michael Ryder = 84.9
Blake Wheeler - 84.9
Tyler Seguin -87.3
Phil Kessel -87.9

All (except Kessel) well under the $4,500,000 mark, but for potential Simmonds gets a bonus. If Flyers keep declining though it could go sour, he is a minus 8 but Simmonds and Voracek have been the only bright spots for the Flyers. Oh well, vote away!
