Wayne Simmonds officially retires as a Flyer: 'Greatest eight years of my life'

The smile on Wayne Simmonds' face was as wide as the span of the Walt Whitman and Ben Franklin if you placed the two bridges end to end. After 15 NHL seasons, Simmonds officially hung up his skates as a member of the Flyers after signing a one-day contract with the team on Friday. The power forward not only registered 526 career points (263 goals, 263 assists) but 1,315 penalty minutes across 1,037 regular-season games with Philly, the Los Angeles Kings, Toronto Maple Leafs, Buffalo Sabres, Nashville Predators, and the Flyers' opponent on Saturday, the New Jersey Devils.
