Report: Flyers, Simmonds not making progress in contract talks
by Josh Gold-Smith from on (#48PAC)
The Philadelphia Flyers and Wayne Simmonds aren't making progress in contract negotiations, a source told The Philadelphia Inquirer's Sam Carchidi on Thursday.
Simmonds is a pending unrestricted free agent carrying a $3.975 million cap hit. He's recorded 16 goals in 53 games for the Flyers this season.
Flyers general manager Chuck Fletcher said on Jan. 18 that his goal is to trade or sign the veteran forward before the Feb. 25 trade deadline.
About a week earlier, TSN's Bob McKenzie reported Simmonds is more likely than not to be traded.
