Rumor: Devils trading Wayne Simmonds to Vancouver

The New Jersey Devils have some decisions to make on some free agents to be, and talks are heating up around forward, Wayne Simmonds.

I said earlier this week on #TSN1040 to keep an eye on Wayne Simmonds as a potential player #Canucks go after at deadline. https://t.co/1y4mUAcSs2

The cost for Simmonds appears to be set on a mid-round pick and B-type prospect. Simmonds is on a one year deal paying him $5 million. If the Devils are willing to eat some of the remaining money left on Simmonds' deal, they will be able to covet a better deal, and continue down their road of rebuilding.

Other teams reportedly circling on Simmonds include Colorado, Winnipeg and the Columbus Blue Jackets. However, a ton of speculation coming from multiple sources, labelling Van-City as the favorite to land the 31-year-old winger.

Tick tock, New Jersey. The fire sale is around the corner.
