He will be missed.

Yeah - as soon as you seen "not just a goon" and "death by suicide at 52" your mind goes immediately to CTE.

RIP.

RIP.
He began his career as a goon, IIRC.  And during one summer, he took advanced skating lessons.  Which seems ridiculous for a hockey player already in the NHL.  But he came back and was a much faster player, able to assist and score goals.  Something a player like John Kordic was unable to do.

If you want a sad story, look for his story.  It required 9 police officers to subdue him on the night of his death.  Poor guy.

Now, back to Chris Simon.  Not a star player, but he could make the plays, have assists and goals.

Unless he "somehow" returns. :P
