Wayne Simmonds likely headed back to Philly ASAP

Normally when a player gets dealt to another team, they take the time to update their bio's and pictures to show their support for their new team. Wayne Simmonds isn't going to bother because he's here for a good time, not here for a long time.


Before the trade to Nashville transpired, Wayne was heard voicing his feelings toward the speculation:

With emotions and honesty like that, it's obvious we know where his heart is and what his teammates think of him. Philly had to maximize their assets so you can't blame them for the move. Expect Simmonds to head back to the city of brotherly love July 1st.

"I love you. Whatever happens, I love you."

Is someone chopping onions around here, or what??
