Crosby generally gels will with high IQ grit players. Kap is neither of those. They should have targeted Domi IMO
They can't afford Domi. He signed 5.3 million, they didn't have cap for that.

Okay since you struggle to follow my point I’ll dumb it down. Simon is a 4th line player MAYBE on some NHL rosters that was able to score at a 30 point pace while on Crosby / Malkin wing. I doubt he’s able to score 10 point or make the Flames roster next year. Yeah he’s a terrible player offensively. Like I said previously his value is on the defensive side of the puck. Playing with elite center will improve a players stats .... common sense shouldn’t be this hard to understand
Kessel didn’t put up points w Sid and I didn’t say he sucks ? Sheary Simon Kunitz PD are all great examples of bottom 6 players that look like top liners with Sid
To be fair to Simon, he's not a terrible player. He just has a god awful shot.
I mean he understands the game. He knew where to be on the ice, he knew how to be strong on the puck, hell he knew how to play defense.
He just can't shoot for ****.
If he ever fixed his shot, he'd be a really decent player. But he can't hit the broad side of a barn with his shot so he could never capitalize on the wide open nets he would put himself in position to have.
Which is kind of my worry with Kap, he's another guy with a shot that ain't worth ****.
900mph down the ice to slam the puck into the back wall. It's his go to move.
If that continues, don't expect 25 goals or whatever. But that's why I'm kind of glad they most likely want him to be the glue.
