Wayne Simmonds

Prospect Grade: 7.0 C  (About Prospect Grades)

Profile Contributed By: David A. Rainer

History

2006-07: Out of Owen Sound of the OHL, Simmonds battled his way to 49 points and 112 penalty minutes in 66 games.

Talent Analysis

Simmonds has a lot of raw skills that make him a very interesting prospect as he develops.  A good skater with a solid shot, he is also not afraid of physical play and is willing to drop the gloves in defense of his teammates despite his thin frame.  Also has a leader-type mentality

Future

Drafted in the 2nd round of the 2007 Entry Draft as a relative unknown, Simmonds did not appear on any radar or scouting service information at the time of the draft.  Even though Simmonds was drafted very high, he is a wait and see prospect at this point as he is very raw.  The Kings appear convinced that he can be a physical forward prospect with a great deal of upside.
