Not a bad signing, they got him for very cheap. Simon can play the game, and also fight.. But I just hope he is a little more active this season.

I cant understand why, after last seasons episode, he has lost my respect completely, tough guys dont use their stick, bottom line. They shoulda went after Eric Cairns again for the muscle.

Ok, it was awful, however it was an result of an concussion after he hit the glass with his head. Chris Simon did not my respect at all! Moreover he is much better skater than Erik…
