Wayne Simmonds signed a new two year deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs in June worth $900,000 AAV per year, but is his spot on Toronto’s roster in jeopardy?
I like Wayne Simmonds and was glad to see a local guy coming home to play on the Toronto Maple Leafs on a team-friendly deal. He was a great player, but last season was a disappointing one for the “Wayne Train.” It was tough that he went down with an injury and never seemed to bounce back.
This season there have been a lot of battles for roster spot at the Leafs camp especially at the bottom of the roster, and the bottom of the roster is where Wayne Simmonds sat by the end of last season.
