When I look at Simon, I see the same player I've seen for two years. But now he plays with a center man who is a playmaker. I see a guy who gets to the puck who never got to it when he was here previously. He gets a lot of goals off the rush, which he never used to get before.

When he?s healthy, the way this game is played now, it?s built for him. He?s quick. He?s smart. He?s hard to get a handle on physically. He?s a huge asset. It?s not just him as a player, but he makes people around him better. He?s a good teammate.
