Wayne Simmonds was one of the former LA Kings NHL top prospects back when he was drafted in 2007, and since then he's established himself as a gritty and physical NHL scorer with both the Kings and the Philadelphia Flyers. After spending some time with the Nashville Predators, New Jersey Devils and Buffalo Sabres, Simmonds is on route to becoming an NHL free agent.
