Drafting a Simon doesn't make it better, Penguins.

But they have the same initials backwards.

He looks like the kind of player Detroit would have picked in the 7th round 2 years ago... So... Good, I guess.

But they didn't pick him....so he's obviously a bust

 

[StroShow]

Anyone know if he will be playing in WBS next year ?

Seems unlikely, I think he's signed for another year in Plzen. We'll find out at prospect camp.

 

[HandshakeLine]

Incredibly unlikely. He's signed in Pilsen and has no contract with the Pens (WB/S or Pittsburgh) yet. It doesn't make any sense to bring him over to WB/S at this time anyway.

Drafting a Simon doesn't make it better, Penguins.

But drinking a draft with Pegg does.

 

[deakka]

He looks pretty good in the clips (ofc most players due in their highlight vids), and from the reprts he held his own pretty darn good in the WC this year.

Would love for us to try o get him to come over to WBS this season. Hes a bit older as well so its not like hes a 97 born that we toss into the AHL fire.

 

[Kesid]

He is very ambitious and if there is a spot for him in the WB/S, I wouldn't rule it out.

Anyway the decision will be made pretty soon. I heard he is gonna make up his mind before the dev. camp.

He could take Kapanen's spot.

 

[Wooren]

So far very solid. 3-5-8 in 7 games.

For anyone who watches WBS, can anyone describe his type of game? Strengths and weaknesses?

From what i've seen of him, he's very shifty and has good offensive instincts.

In the pre-season, he seemed to get knocked off the puck a little too easily for my liking.

Kid builds up some muscle and gets a step faster and there could be something there.
He's a much more intriguing prospect than most/if not all of the NCAA guys, atleast, for me.
